چکیده مقاله :
Introduction: The desire to search for meaning and achieve it is an essential element in human life. “Meaning of life” is one of the most important philosophical, psychological and religious issues of human beings in the new era and the era of industrialization of societies and comprehensive progress of science and technology. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of spiritual education based on religious teachings on the meaning of life and the religious commitment of students.
research methodology: The research method is a quasi-experimental type of pre-test and post-test with a control group. The sample included two groups (experimental and control) of 20 people who were selected by random sampling. The spirituality protocol was implemented in 9 sessions of 90 minutes based on the religious teachings of Richard and Bergin. The data collection tool included a) Sirajzadeh and Rahimi's meaning of life questionnaire and b) Ahmadi Abhari’s religious commitment.
Findings: Covariance results showed that spiritual education based on religious teachings is effective on students’ religious commitment and meaning of life. Also, with the control pre-test, there is a significant difference between the mean scores of the groups in terms of the scores of meaningful components of life (value 0.16, purposefulness 0.46, hope 0.44) and religious commitment 0.63 in the post-test.
Conclusion: According to the research findings, it can be stated that teaching religious teachings to students creates positive feedback regarding the meaning of life and their beliefs and convictions, as well as commitment to them, and this has an impact on the personal, social, religious, and academic growth of students.
