Creativity in the Teaching of Shariah Studies in Institutions of Higher Education

摘要

This article presents the use of creative ideas in teaching Shariah Studies. Among the creative ideas implemented and may be utilised is the method of role playing, done by assigning topics to students which they would then act out. The study conducted a survey questionnaire using purposive sampling to 100 students registering for the subject Mabahith al-Hukm during early March 2011. From the research done, it has shown a promising outcome in the aspects of the students’ interests, reception and understanding on the subject learnt. This shows that such a method can be applied in all subjects, more so in Shariah Studies in institutions of higher education.
