Abstract

Educational interpretation is one of the types of scientific interpretation that researchers and thinkers of Qur’anic sciences and interpretation have paid much attention to in recent decades and have researched, discussed, and commented on its various sections and topics.
One of these sections and topics is the definition of educational interpretation, which some researchers have tried so far in this field, and each of them has given a specific definition for it based on their understanding of the word “تربیت” (education). These definitions can draw different meanings, topics, territories, and tasks for educational interpretation. On the one hand, due to their contradictions and on the other hand, due to the lack of complete compliance with the logical and strategic criteria of the definition, these definitions are open to criticism and contain many. Correcting these flaws requires drawing correct criteria for defining educational interpretation.
Intending to eliminate the flaws of past definitions and achieve a more comprehensive and correct framework for defining educational interpretation, the author provides a model for the definition of educational interpretation which is more efficient than the previous definitions and can be the basis for explaining and drawing the structure, nature, and geometry of educational interpretation.
In this regard, the writer concludes that the correct definition of the term “تفسیر تربیتی” (educational interpretation) is based on the correct understanding and analysis of the word “تربیت,” which can be achieved by removing the general meaning from its scope and defining it as “specialized education knowledge” can correctly clarify the topic, scope, purpose and main tasks of educational interpretation.
