Development of Sirah Socio-Emotional Module for Primary School: A Needs Analysis Study

Abstract

This needs analysis was conducted to fulfil the first phase of the ASSURE Model, an analyse phase. The needs analysis was performed in this study to ensure that the developed module meets user requirements. Therefore, this study aims to assess the need to develop the Socio-emotional Learning Sirah Module for Year 5 students. The approach used in this study is a quantitative approach using a survey method. A total of 118 Islamic Education teachers participated in this study. The instrument used in this study is the Socio-emotional Module Development Needs Analysis Questionnaire, which contains three constructs: the level of knowledge about socio-emotional learning, the level of implementation, and the need for the module. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics to determine each construct's mean and standard deviation values. The findings show that the level of knowledge of socio-emotional learning (M=4.10, SD=0.37) and the level of implementation of socio-emotional learning (M=4.09, SD=0.43) are high. Meanwhile, the mean score obtained for the need for the module is very high (M=4.21, SD=0.42). The results of this need analysis indicate that the socio-emotional learning module in the field of Sirah has the potential to be developed. The researcher also suggests that this study be continued by exploring the need to develop socio-emotional learning modules for other areas of Islamic Education, such as al-Quran and Jawi.
