An Investigation into the Rate of Self-Regulatory Learning among Those Who Know the Quran by Heart and Those Who Don t

The present paper investigates the self-regulatory learning skills among three groups (those who know the Quran by heart, beginners, and those who don’t know the Quran by heart). The research method is carried out in the framework of survey design and a sample including 120 students (40 students who know the Quran by heart, 40 beginners, and 40 students who don’t know the Quran by heart) have been selected randomly and compared. These students were from three different educational levels (secondary school, high school, and university). Bofard's self-regulatory learning test has been used to measure the rate of learning skills of individuals in these three groups and data have been analyzed by variance analysis test and independent t-test. The research findings show that the rate of self-regulatory learning skills is significantly different between those who know the Quran by heart and those who dont, that is, those who know the Quran by heart have show better functions in self-regulatory learning skills in comparison with those who dont know the Quran by heart(p<0.05). However, there is no significant difference between age, education, and gender in the score of self-regulatory learning. Furthermore, these findings show that the skill of the Quran memorization improves other non-Quranic skills, as well.
