The Validity and Reliability Constructs of the 4T1R Model and Islamic Education Management Practices of People's Religious School Management, Southern Thailand

Abstract

In the modern era of education, the People's Religious Schools in the southern provinces of Thailand function as important Islamic educational institutions, providing students with religious and academic knowledge in line with the Ministry of Education curriculum. These institutions not only impart knowledge, but also play a role in shaping individuals who are moral and competitive. To achieve this goal, school leadership and management must implement effective management practices, based on the 4T1R model, which includes planning, organizing, guiding, supervising and surrendering. The structured supervision mechanism is still not stable, resulting in unbalanced and resilient curriculum implementation. These factors affect the learning process which should focus on strengthening students' morals and life skills. In addition, the concepts and principles of teaching and learning in the 21st century require teachers to have qualifications beyond just teaching. They also need to have the ability to guide students in navigating the world of learning and learning from real experiences. This study was conducted to develop and validate an instrument based on the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) process for measuring the 4T1R Model (based on Planning, Organize, Guiding, Surrender, Supervise) and Islamic Education Management Practices people’s Religious School Management, Southern Thailand. This study uses quantitative research methods based on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to analyze various relationships between variables in the study model. Before the data is analyzed using SEM, EFA is carried out to identify the appropriateness of the items used in the research instrument. This study describes in detail the procedure of conducting EFA analysis for each construct. The findings of this study show validity values based on Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO), Total Variance Explained (TVE), Factor Loading (FL) and reliability values based on Cronbach's Alpha (CA), have met all the required values.
