Despite many studies conducted today, the details of the teaching and learning system in Ottoman madrasas have not been fully elucidated. This is because we lack works that provide curriculum programs before the 17th century, and the studies available after this century do not encompass the entire Ottoman geography. However, the data we have shows that the education programs in madrasas were not prepared randomly; rather, the curricula were closely related to the understanding of knowledge of the period and the classification of sciences derived from this understanding. This close relationship can be observed in the Kavâkib-i Sebʻa , a work written in the early 18th century that provides detailed information about the logic of teaching in Ottoman madrasas, the works taught, the teaching methods, and the objectives. In this study, this relationship will be examined based on this work. Understanding this relationship not only gives us information about the madrasa curriculum and why certain works were taught at specific times, but also shows whether there was a philosophy behind the education system.
