Story Telling:
A good story arrests the attention and connects the imparter of Ilm with his students. Allah’s uses the story telling technique in the Quran to set firm the heart of the Prophet SAW and the hearts of his followers upon the Deen of Allah.
Allah Says: “Yet all that we relate to you Oh Muhammed from the tidings of the messengers who proceeded you is but to set firm your own heart” (Surat Hud ) 11:120

Relating parables:
As many Quranic passages show, the gracious Quran uses parables as a method of education.
Allah Says: “So such are the parables we set forth for the benefit of people. Yet none comprehend them but the people of knowledge “ (Surat Al Ankabut) 29:43

4. Inspiriting and disheartening (Al Targhib wa Al Tarhib)
Instead of sticking to a single technique of instruction, the Quran diversifies its educational approaches.
Quran States: “And give glad tidings O Prophet to those who believe and do righteous deeds that for them there are Gardens of paradise awaiting in the hereafter, beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided from its of its varied Heavenly fruits as a provision to enjoy they will say: This is in appearance like what we were provided before in the life of the world. And indeed it shall be brought to them in full resemblance yet being far more delectable and these gardens of delight spouses who are even pure and therein shall they abide with them forever. (Surat Al Baqarah) 2:25
To discourage a certain practice the Quran states: “He said: As for whoever does wrong, we shall punish him. Then he shall be returned to his Lord in the Hereafter and He shall punish him with a horrific punishment” (Surat Al Khaf )18:87

Sometimes the Quran blends encouragement and discouragement in the same text:
“Then as to those who believe in Allah and do righteous deeds, He shall render them their rewards in full and increase them even more from His bounty. But as for those who become disdainful of His worship and grow arrogant He shall torment them with a most painful torment. And they shall not find for themselves apart from Allah either patron or supporter” (Surat Al Nisa) 4:173

6. Edifying by good example:
If educators wish their instruction to have value, they must practice what they preach. According to the Quran, educators whose deeds do not match their words commit an act most hateful to God:
“O you who believe! Why do you say what you do not so? It is greatly abhorrent in the sight of Allah that you say what you do not do” (Surat Al Saff) 61:2-3
This is but sampling of the teaching methods made use of in the Quran. Highlighting them is not meant to, and should not, detract from the worth of other educational techniques present in the Quran – including education through dialogue, by good admonition or exhortation, by observation. There can be no lack of appreciation for their merits.

The Quran makes use of diverse educational techniques within a framework of a precise systematic educational approach that aims to produce an integrated and balanced human being.
Quranic educational theory has, in fact led the way in modeling many educational techniques belaying the pretensions to leadership of the so called modern school of education in the area of development and employment of educational techniques.
