Abstract
One of the major concerns for parents in today’s circumstances is the mode of dress for their children, particularly daughters, which stands as a critical aspect of family education. The educational institution represents a suitable venue for institutionalizing the culture of proper attire. This applied qualitative research was conducted with the aim of ‘Presenting Educational Strategies for Promoting Islamic Chastity and Hijab to Reduce Partial Hijab and Non-Hijab among Women in Ilam City.’ The participants were 33 women aged 17 to 60 residing in Ilam, selected through purposive sampling. The transcribed interview texts were subsequently analyzed using Thematic Analysis. During the analysis process, two main themes were constructed: Promoting Hijab and Chastity in Educational Settings and Promoting Hijab and Chastity within the Family. The results indicated that, from the participants’ perspective, the strategy of ‘Promoting Hijab and Chastity in Educational Settings’ is applicable through five sub-strategies (sub-themes): implementing the hijab directive in educational environments; utilizing religious and psychological counselors in educational settings; teaching hijab in schools, kindergartens, and training centers; Islamizing students’ necessities and English language textbooks; and hiring veiled and committed teachers and instructors. The strategy of ‘Promoting Hijab and Chastity within the Family’ is also executable through five (sub-strategies): the family’s religious commitment and role as an educational model; intellectual and educational alignment between teachers and parents; institutionalizing religion and hijab from childhood; providing hijab clothing and necessities for children; and teaching the preservation of family privacy. Ultimately, the participants’ views were found to be consistent with the Quranic and narrative models.
