Attributes Towards Infusing Islamic Manners (Adab) in The Classrooms Among Muslim Teachers in Southern Thailand: Scale Validation
Keywords:
Teacher, Attributes, Infusing, Islamic manners, Scale ValidationAbstract
The study attempted to empirically test the validity of the 6-factor structure of teacher attributes in infusing Islamic manners (adab) in classroom (iMIC). The Islamic Teacher Attribute Scale (ITAS) was proposed which consists of six latent variables namely: self-efficacy, values, Islamic work ethic, organizational commitment and teachers’ inculcation and their performance in reflection and internalization in iMIC. The samples of 561 Muslim teachers of public primary schools in six provinces of southern Thailand were selected by using simple random sampling. The survey instrument was administered. Principle Components Analysis (PCA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were applied to arrive at the conclusions. The results of the study support the six-factor model generated by the data collected and the scales exhibit acceptable psychometric properties. Implications of the results are also discussed.
