Abstract

This study aimed to determine the efficiency degree possessed by a

group of Islamic education teachers at the secondary level in the United

Arab Emirates from the viewpoint of those teachers. The sample of the

study consisted of 48 teachers of both genders in public schools supervised

by Abu Dhabi Education Council in the UAE. The researcher developed a

questionnaire with (56) items distributed on five domains. Concurrently,

he applied the Means, Standard Deviation, Cranach Alpha Correlation

Coefficient, Mono-variation, and the (T) test. The analysis of results signaled

that (33) of the Islamic education teachers had high efficiency level, (17) of

them had moderate efficiency level, and (6) of them had low level of teaching

efficiency. The highly loaded factor in this questionnaire was related to the

teaching methodology with an average Mean of (%3.96) and a percentage

of (%79.2). The second loaded factor was related to the assessment domain

with an average Mean of (%3.87) and a percentage of (%77.4.) The teaching

aids domain was the third with an average Mean of (%3.61) and a percentage

of (%72.2.) The forth domain was related to planning daily teaching with

an average Mean of (%3.51) and a percentage of (%70,2.) The last domain

was related to field application of educational technology with an average

Mean of (%3.46) and a percentage of (%69.2). The analysis also signaled no

significant variance pertaining to the gender of teachers or their experience

on each of the five domains and on the whole questionnaire at large

.
