The impact of the acquisition of computational thinking skills by teachers of Sharia courses in the primary schools on teachers' ability to apply constructive teaching skills

Abstract

This study aimed to build a training program, directed to teachers of Shariah courses in the primary school stage, based on computational thinking skills represented by (algorithmic thinking skill, analysis skill, abstraction skill, evaluation skill, and generalization skill), and to investigate its impact on their abilities to apply constructivist teaching skills. Which are (activation/preparation, exploration/interpretation, participation/cooperation, expansion/generalization, and the skill of evaluation). The researcher designed the research instrument, which was a note card, that included (26) statements distributed among the constructivist teaching skills targeted in this study, which are (5) statements to measure the preparation skill, (7) statements to measure interpretation skill, (3) statements to measure cooperation skill, (5) statements to measure generalization skill, and (6) statements to measure evaluation skill, and after ensuring their validity, reliability, and suitability for use, they were applied to the study sample before and after the training program. The researcher used a t-Test for one group, One-Sample t-Test, to study the significance of the differences between the pre- and post-application of the research instrument. The results of the study concluded that there was a positive effect with statistical significance at the significance level (0.05  a) for teachers of Shariah courses in the primary school stage to acquire computational thinking skills based on their abilities to apply all the constructivist teaching skills targeted in this study, with the exception of the skill (cooperation). Based on these results, the researcher presented a number of recommendations, the most important of which is considering developing teacher qualification and training programs, and including computer thinking skills as a basic requirement in those programs. The researcher also suggested similar future studies that would investigate the impact of computer thinking skills on other variables in the educational environment other than teaching skills, such as activities, curriculum construction, classroom management, and other variables of educational environments and classrooms.
