Abstract

The most important type of human learning is learning through observation. Based on this, one of the methods of education is education by model, which can be called the “model method”. This method can be implemented in the form of presenting-patterning, receiving-patterning and de-patterning. The human mind is most familiar with the first two methods, and accordingly, the largest amount of research is devoted to these two methods; but by contemplation on the verses of the Quran, we come to the third way of implementing model training, which is model-removing. This method is a type of negative education method compared to the positive method in which the principle of “preparation and attractiveness” is more important. As the main orientation of the negative strategy is “discovery” methods instead of “acquisition” or “avoidance” instead of “prescription”; because in the negative method and avoidance strategy, one becomes “self-restrained” from any kind of imposition of values from outside. Since this method is based on extracting and exploring the content of the audience by removing obstacles to growth, intending to blossom and reveal his hidden capabilities, the importance of research in this matter becomes clear. The present research was organized to draw the attention of educators to this implementation method of training, a model that has received less attention from researchers and educators. Therefore, by referring to the verses of the Quran and the commentators’ point of view, while describing the method of de-patterning in the Quran, it has been explained and analyzed from the perspective of the Quran. According to the findings of the research, de-patterning in the Quran can be implemented in two more detailed ways. In the first form, by expressing the characteristics and finally the negative patterns, it creates a kind of boredom in the teacher, which is the result of de-patterning. In the second case, it has explicitly pointed to de-patterning to its objective cases.
