Abstract
This paper reports on data collected from Life Science teachers at the Association of Muslim Schools KZN region. This study explored the teaching of Life Sciences within the Islamic culture. The research was guided by the following question, Is Life Sciences taught from an Islamic Perspective at Islamic Schools? Ethical clearance was obtained from the Association of Muslim School. Data was collected by means of a questionnaires, interviews and observations. An inductive approach was used for the analysis of data. The conceptual framework that guided the study is the philosophy of Islam and its approaches for the teaching of the mandated Life Sciences curriculum. The findings indicated that currently in South Africa the teaching of Life Sciences at Muslim ethos schools is deficient in the integration of the religious knowledge when teaching Sciences. The Professional Teaching Model was designed as an intervention to bridge the educational dualism gap.
