Investigate the Knowledge, Attitude and Skills of Professors and Managers and Facilities Available in the Implementation of the Spiritual Curriculum (Case Study: Students Viewpoints of Farhangian University)

This study seeks to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and skills of professors, and directors and available facilities at Farhangian University for implementing the spiritual curriculum. To this aim, four variables including knowledge, attitudes, skills and facilities are evaluated in two groups of professors and directors. This study is a combination of qualitative and quantitative study. In the qualitative phase, the corpus includes sources and textbooks available for spiritual curriculum among which 20 internal and 10 external sources are identified and analyzed. In the quantitative phase, the population includes all senior students of Educational Sciences (primary education) at Farhangian University in the academic year of 2016-2017. The sample includes 300 students who are selected randomly. In this phase, the researcher-made questionnaires are used as the data collection instrument. Content analysis is used for analyzing the obtained data in qualitative phase. The means indicators and standard deviation are used in quantitative phase in order to describe and one-sample t-test, Friedman and chi-square were used for inferential analysis. The results indicate that the highest average is related to level of knowledge and attitudes, while skill and facilities show the lowest average. This means that university directors and professors who are responsible for implementing the spiritual curriculum have the necessary knowledge and attitudes; however, not sufficient skills. In addition, the facilities of Farhangian University for implementing the spiritual curriculum are not at the desirable level.
