Conceptual Framework of Al-Ghazali Epistemology Knowledge in Media Education

Abstract

The upheaval of the digital age has made media education an essential component in determining the belief, thought, and behavior of media practitioners. The task of the century is to raise a generation of educated people, especially those with knowledge, skills, and attitudes that go beyond what is taught in standard media curricula. As a result, the emphasis in media education needs to change from dualistic thinking to the idea of the absolute truth of knowledge. This calls for a deeper comprehension of what education means. Determining the meaning of education, the idea of knowledge from Al Ghazali's philosophical standpoint, and its connection to human nature and Islamic ideas is the goal of this articles. A conceptual framework for the epistemology of knowledge in media education is suggested in light of the review.
