  • Critical dilemmas in leading whole school renewal in an Australian Islamic school

    Nadeem Memon, Nadeem A Memon et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2026

    Many Australian Islamic schools are recognized for high academic achievement, increasing enrollments and low parental dissatisfaction. However, research highlights questions about their fulfillment of core visions. This article argues that tajdīd (‘renewal’) – an innovative paradigmatic framework – offers a transformative approach to making Islamic schools vision-driven. The study critiques conventional paradigms of school improvement, suggesting…

  • Laying Foundations for Islamic Teacher Education

    Open AccessNadeem Memon, M Abdalla et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2024

    Increasingly, educators committed to the vision of Islamic schooling are expressing sentiments of moral dissonance. On the one hand, they choose Islamic schools because they aspire to affect hearts, nurture whole human beings, and grow spiritually while impacting their learners’ sense of higher purpose. On the other hand, they are up against an era of globalised educational reform, characterised by neoliberal-engendered market forces and neoliber…

  • Fostering Faithful Praxis

    Open AccessNadeem Memon, Isra Brifkani et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2024

    There has been a rise in Islamic schools in Australia, a trend similarly seen in other Western countries, and yet limited opportunities for teacher preparation on what it means to impart an Islamically grounded education. This study utilises qualitative research methods, specifically portraiture to shed light on the experiences of in-service Islamic school educators, with varied backgrounds and religious affiliations in a cohort of the Graduate C…

In Australia’s public schools, despite significant curricular and pedagogical advances in the areas of equity and inclusion, it remai…

  • Islamic Studies in Australian Islamic Schools

    Open AccessM Abdalla, Dylan Chown et al.ARTICLEReligions2020Cited by: 3References: 19

    This paper provides insight into senior secondary learners' views on Islamic Studies (IS) in three large Australian Islamic schools. This study offers a 'dialogic alternative' of 'speaking with' rather than 'speaking for' learners in Islamic educational research, planning, and renewal within K-12 Islamic schools. The study privileges learners' voice and enables an insight to their experience with one of the most important features of Islamic scho…
