The Effect of Educational Conduct of the Infallibles (AS) on the Responsibility and Attitude and Spiritual Ability of Students

Abstract

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of educational conduct of the Prophet (PBUH) and the Imams (AS) on the responsibility and attitude and spiritual ability of high school male students. This research was conducted in a quasi-experimental method with two experimental and two control groups. The study population included all male high school students in Najafabad in the academic year 2022-2023 and four schools and one class from each school were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method and 48 people in two experimental groups and 51 people in two control groups participated. To collect data, a multidimensional responsibility questionnaire based on Islamic texts and a spiritual outlook and spiritual ability questionnaire were used. The validity of these questionnaires was reviewed by subject experts and the reliability of the questionnaires was also reviewed and confirmed through Cronbach's alpha. Descriptive statistics and analysis of covariance were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that teaching the educational conduct of the Prophet and the Imams does not have a significant effect on one of the components of responsibility, such as responsibility towards nature. But it has a significant impact on the rest of the components of responsibility, such as responsibility to himself (meditation), society and God. Also, the implementation of the program in the experimental group had a significant effect on the spiritual outlook and spiritual ability of the students.
