Effectiveness of an Educational Program Based on Educational Tasks in Islamic Education in Social Values among Ninth Grade Students

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an educational program based on educational tasks in Islamic education social values among ninth grade students. To achieve the goal of the study, a scale was built to measure social values. The study population consisted of 80 ninth-grade students from Janaa Basic School affiliated with the Directorate of Education for the First Zarqa Region for the 2023/2024 academic year. They were chosen intentionally and divided into two groups: the control group, which was taught in the usual way described in the teacher’s guide, and the experimental group, which was taught according to the educational program based on educational tasks. The researcher used the quasi-experimental method. The results also showed that there was a statistically significant difference at the level of statistical significance (α = 0.05) between the two mean scores of the post-test performance of the study individuals on each of the areas of social values (cooperation, respect, honesty, freedom, altruism, and justice), and the areas of social values as a whole attributed to the teaching strategy variable in favor of the experimental group. In light of the results of the study, the researcher recommended the need to train Islamic education supervisors and teachers to build educational programs based on educational tasks, employ them in the classroom, and pay attention to social values.
