Abstract :

The purpose of the study was the feasibility of curriculum accomplishment with spiritual approach in secondary school. The population of study was included 1813 female secondary school teachers (theoretical branch) of Mazandaran province. Sample size was selected as 317 subjects based on Morgan stratified proportional sampling method. A researcher–made questionnaire has been applied in order to collect data. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient estimated as 75% to measure questionnaire validity. Data analysis and both multiple–variable analysis of variance test (MANOVA), and Pearson correlation test in descriptive statistics (frequency, weight percentage and mean) and inferential statistics have been utilized, respectively. The study data in descriptive section indicated that the studied group possessed too much knowledge and skill as well as desirable attitude on spiritual curriculum accomplishment. However, schools provided moderate facilities to develop the program. In inferential section, the data of multiple- variable analysis of variance (MANOVA) test indicated that there was a significant difference between teacher’s knowledge, attitude, skill scores and school facilities in various cities. The data of Pearson test also showed that there was a positive correlation between curriculum components of knowledge, attitude, skill at different levels and school facilities.
