Abstract

Abstract : This research aims to recognize the attitudes of Islamic subject matter teachers toward using instructional media in teaching during the intermediate cycle in the Kingdom of Bahrain. It also studies the effect of variables such as gender, age group, educational qualifications, teaching experience, and participation in training courses on these attitudes. To achieve this aim, these two questions were asked: 1. What are the attitudes of Islamic subject matter teachers toward using instructional media in teaching? 2. How different are the attitudes of the aforementioned teachers due to their gender, age group, educational qualifications, teaching experience, and their participation in training courses? An attitudes scale was designed. It consists of 50 statements that measure the attitudes of Islamic subject matter teachers toward using instructional media in teaching. After testing it for validity and reliability, it was distributed among all research subjects. The subjects were 35 male teachers and 37 female teachers. These teachers work in all intermediate government schools that comprise the third circle of basic education in the Kingdom of Bahrain The required data for answering the two questions were collected through the subjects' responses to the scale's statements. Hence, suitable statistics were applied, and the following results were found: 1. Teachers of Islamic subject matter have positive attitudes toward using instructional media in teaching. Those were 49 teachers (49), and the percentage of their responses was 67.7%. 2. Some teachers of Islamic subject matter have negative attitudes toward using instructional media in teaching. Those were 19 teachers (19), and the percentage of their responses was 26.7%. 3. A few teachers of Islamic subject matter are uncertain about their attitudes toward using instructional media in teaching. Those were 4 teachers (4), and the percentage of their responses was 5.6%. 4. There is no significant difference between the attitudes of teachers of Islamic subject matter toward using instructional media in teaching, concerning their gender, age group, teaching experience, and their participation in training courses 5. Attitudes of Islamic subject matter teachers toward using instructional media in teaching differ according to their educational qualifications to the benefit of teachers who gain higher education. Concerning the suggestions of Islamic subject matter teachers on the best practical ways to improve their attitudes toward using instructional media in teaching, it was found that most of the subjects The study believed that training courses on how to produce instructional media and how to use them in teaching were the best for teachers.
