The Survey of Quran Curriculum Evaluation in the Fourth Grade of Primary Schools

The main objective of the research turns to curriculum evaluation of the fourth grade
Quran from the point of view of intended, implemented and attained curriculum.
The necessity of this study contains the correction and review of fourth grade Quran.
The research has been done in the form of evaluation studies accompanied by descriptive
analytic method. The population consisted of the fourth grade students all over the
country in 1380-81 school year and sampling contained all the teachers and principals
who implemented the experimental design of Quran program covering 208 classes in
provinces, nineteen states of the country and ten percent of parents and students of the
experimental design were also selected by random-stratified sampling method. Research
findings show that the aims in cognitive, skillful and attitude domain are widely arranged
in the Quran program guideline which most of them were not used in the planning of the
program.
The aims in the effective domain, are arranged in the lower stages and they are not
related to each other in the case of analytic-interpreting in different stages and they are
arranged as separate sections (cognitive, skillful and attitudal) and there is less relation to
religious moral values and social behaviours.
To obtain the goals of Quran instruction, twenty-seven percent of Quran teachers believe
that two hours of teaching will be enough if the number of books’ pages decrease.
Based on research findings, suggestions have been presented for the review of
intended, implemented and attained curriculum about aims, contents, instructional
methods and evaluation of educational development and curriculum.
