IBN SINA AS A TEACHER: TEACHING METHODS IN MEDICINE

The study explores the pedagogical philosophy and methodological innovations of Ibn Sina (Avicenna), one of the most influential figures in the history of medical science and education. His teaching methods combined empirical observation, logical reasoning, and ethical instruction, forming the basis of medical pedagogy for centuries. The research analyzes his approaches to clinical training, problem-based learning, and the integration of theory with practice. It also examines his instructional style described in works such as “The Canon of Medicine,” emphasizing structured curricula, student independence, and continuous critical analysis. By interpreting Ibn Sina’s educational strategies through the lens of modern pedagogy, the study highlights their continued relevance for contemporary medical education.
