Abstract

Spatial skills are important interdisciplinary abilities for students in everyday practices and on their academic journey. Several measures of spatial thinking abilities have been developed for assessing spatial skills in the school context and students' spatial behavior in their everyday life. The commonly used one is the Self-Evaluation Spatial Skills (SESS), but it has not been validated. This study aimed to: (1) examine the extent to which the (Self Evaluation Spatial Skills (SESS) instrument developed by Wakabayashi constituted meaningful and interpretable three dimensions of spatial skills; (2) test the psychometric properties of the instrument in terms of reliability and convergent validity. Using slightly modified SESS of 19 items questionnaire, the data were collected from 351 undergraduates at International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a fit model of three factors construct and confirmed the reliability and validity of the hypothesized measurement model. The results indicated the tested model as good for measuring students' spatial skills and spatial behavior in their local environment and in informing future research.

Abstract

This research intended to explore the challenges in inculcating Islamic values among teachers in selected private secondary schools in the Klang Valley. It aimed to investigate the teachers’ perception in inculcating Islamic values in schools. The questionnaire was distributed to 145 teachers from three private Islamic secondary schools in the Klang Valley, namely Al-Amin secondary school, International Islamic Secondary (IIS) School and ADNI Islamic Secondary School. A 5-point Likert scale was used to measure the teachers’ perception about the inculcating Islamic values in schools. Descriptive analysis (frequencies and percentages), were utilized in this study. The findings showed that most of the teachers in the three schools in the Klang Valley perceived that they are not inculcating Islamic values into their teaching. The researcher suggested that future research should include additional Islamic schools to compare their methods of teaching Islamic studies, which can also include universities.
