Abstract
Since the 1970s, the Arab Gulf countries have attracted a large number of expatriates from around the world. The presence of expatriates in the field of education is visible and sensitive because it brings together players with opposing education philosophies and traditions. This chapter analyzes the teaching context in the Gulf countries and argues for the deconstruction of education as advocated and practiced by early Islamic scholars. It calls for the adoption of a constructivist pedagogy in the field of humanities.
