Cabaran pengajaran kursus mantik di Institut Pengajian Tinggi

Logic (Manṭiq) began to appear and has developed in Islamic society through the translation of Greek works into Arabic. This discipline which was considered the basis of philosophy was also used by Islamic scholars in developing knowledge. Today, logic is offered as one of the courses for Usuluddin studies at the Institute of Higher Education (IHE). Based on previous studies, it was found that the students were still unable to understand and master this field of knowledge. Although some of them understand the theory, but their level of mastery needs to be improved. Thus, this study aims to identify the challenges faced by lecturers in the process of teaching and learning logic. In this study, the researcher used a qualitative approach by presenting a case study as a research design. Purposive sampling was used involving the university lecturers who teach logic and are located in the Klang Valley. Data was obtained through semi-structured interviews and then analyzed using a thematic approach (thematic analysis). The results of the study show that the challenges faced by lecturers in teaching logic are more focused on their theoretical nature and difficulty to understand. At the same time, lecturers need to be creative in presenting examples and address the issue of students’ limitations in understanding the relationship between logic and other sciences. This study also identified the need to diversify teaching methods among lecturers, such as through a blended learning approach as an effort to attract and encourage students to master the subject.
