Investigating the Evaluation of the Internal Quality of the Curriculum of Islamic Education Courses from the Point of view of the Students of Birjand University of Medical Sciences based on Ralph Tyler's Model

Paying attention to the all-round development of students and teaching values and moral issues is always considered one of the important goals of educational systems in universities. Thus this study aimed to evaluate the internal quality of the Islamic studies courses curriculum based on Ralph Tyler's model and from the students' point of view at Birjand University of Medical Sciences.

This is a descriptive-analytical study. The studied population of Birjand University of Medical Sciences students, based on the table of Karjesi and Morgan, 300 people were selected as a sample using available sampling method. A researcher-made questionnaire including 48 questions was used to collect information. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by medical education experts and the reliability of the questionnaire using Cronbach's alpha method was 87%. Data analysis was done using SPSS 16 software and descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage) and inferential statistics (one-sample t and independent t) were used.

The status of internal quality of the curriculum of Islamic education courses in the goal element from the students' point of view was medium to high, but the average (content, teaching and evaluation methods) was lower than the theoretical average (3) and the status of these elements was of low quality (P<0.05).

The curriculum of education courses in universities should always be evaluated and the necessary revision should be done in order to promote the spiritual, moral and all-round development of students.
