The Imam-Hatip schools have long been a site of contestation between Turks who see modernization as synonymous with secularization and those who maintain that it is possible to be both modern and Muslim. But are contemporary Imam-Hatip schools a threat to modern Turkish democracy? If not, are they a useful model for other Muslim societies seeking to balance modernization and religious faith in their educational institutions? To answer these questions it is important to develop a more accurate view of Imam-Hatip schools and to understand the contemporary role of Imam-Hatip schools in Turkish society. Therefore, this dissertation traced the historical development and contemporary social context of Imam-Hatip schools in Turkey as a prelude to the analysis of their basic philosophical assumptions by using the combination of historical, qualitative and philosophical methods to be able to address its research questions. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / Spring Semester 2018. / April 17, 2018. / Imam Hatip schools, Modernism, Philisophy, Prophetic Pragmatic, Secular, Turkey / Includes bibliographical references. / Jeffrey Ayala Milligan, Professor Directing Dissertation; Adam Gaiser, University Representative; Robert Schwartz, Committee Member; Helen Boyle, Committee Member.
