Abstract

This pilot study was executed to evaluate the usability and reliability of a questionnaire instrument developed to measure the knowledge level of teachers concerning alternative approaches in the teaching of Arabic speaking skills. A total of 19 Arabic Language teachers from four Government-Aided Religious Secondary Schools (SABK) in the Tangkak district of Johor voluntarily participated. The subsequent analysis yielded a Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient of 0.98 for the entire instrument, indicating a high degree of internal consistency. Based on the preliminary Cronbach's Alpha finding, several items were subsequently subjected to structural and linguistic revisions within the questionnaire. This study, therefore, confirms that the instrument is deemed appropriate for deployment in the main research study.
