Norhisham bin Muhamad

Abstract

This study identifies the religious activities implemented in SABK as a medium for life-long learning and their impacts on students’ moral appreciation. This study involved 289 students from eight government-funded religious secondary schools in the State of Perak. The study adopts the quantitative method and the findings were analysed to obtain the frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Moreover, the Pearson correlation test was used to examine the relationship between the variables. The study found the implementation of religious activities as a medium of lifelong learning is high (mean = 4.13, SP. = 0.48), while moral appreciation among students is at a moderate level (mean = 3.14, SP. = 0.35). The results show a significant relationship between religious activities conducted in schools with students' moral appreciation. Based on these findings, it is hoped that all parties can cooperate to support students’ spiritual and emotional growth through religious activities not only at school, but also at home.
