Designing a Social Training Model from the Holy Qur’an for Preventing Students’ Delinquency

This research is intended to design a model of social training in the Holy Quran to prevent students' delinquency. This is an applied research following a mixed (qualitative and quantitative) method for data collection carried out in exploratory method (in the qualitative phase) and cross-sectional survey method (in the quantitative stage). The content of the Holy Qur’an was analyzed in the qualitative method. The quantitative data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire by random stratified sampling method whose face validity was confirmed by professors. The reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient as much as 0.809. The statistical population included 307 principals of girls' high schools in Tehran. Data were analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests as well as confirmatory factor analysis and were analyzed by SPSS and AMOS software. The results of the qualitative stage revealed that the model of social training in the Holy Quran to prevent students' delinquency, includes three dimensions of foundations (monotheism, Fitrah and will), principles (worshipping training, political training, moral training, and economic training), and methods (explanatory, compulsory and inductive). The output of the quantitative stage contains the model of social education in the Holy Quran to prevent students' delinquency, which includes the dimensions, factors and components of the model with their factor loads. This model has been tested through validated statistical tests and their factor validity and fitting indices have been confirmed.
