Berkey. Transmission of Knowledge
1. Terms
- Mamluk Egypt
- jurist
- shaykh=religious teacher
2. While this chapter is on Instruction and not Curriculum, what is
it that students were learning and teachers were teaching?
3. What exactly was the process by which students learned? What did
they actually do while learning and studying. How is this different from
what students and teachers do today?
4. What was the nature of "knowledge" that was being transmitted
by teachers to students? What was it and how was it "created"?
