The Degree of Educational Practices of Activity Leaders in Early Grades Concerning the Dimensions of Islamic Economic Education in Light of the "Reyali" Initiative in Makkah City

Abstract

This study aims to examine the degree of educational practices related to the dimensions of Islamic economic education in light of the "Reyali" initiative in early grades at schools in Makkah City, from the perspective of activity leaders. The study employed both the descriptive survey method and the descriptive analytical method, using a questionnaire developed by the researcher. The questionnaire covered four main dimensions: work and production (20 indicators), spending (17 indicators), consumption (15 indicators), and saving (12 indicators). The questionnaire was administered to the entire research population of 86 activity leaders in public and private early-grade schools in Makkah City.

The findings revealed a high level of educational practices across all dimensions, with varying degrees among the indicators. The consumption dimension ranked highest, while the work and production dimension scored the lowest, though it did not fall to a low level. These results highlight the significant role of the "Reyali" initiative and the awareness and competence of activity leaders in leveraging student activities to promote the dimensions of Islamic economic education among early-grade students.

Additionally, differences were observed in the dimensions of economic education in favor of public schools, while no significant differences were found between male and female students or across grade levels. Based on these findings, the study recommended providing training programs for activity leaders in private schools to ensure parity with public schools in applying Islamic economic education practices. Furthermore, it emphasized the importance of fostering collaboration between families and schools to sustain students’ practice of Islamic economic education dimensions in daily life.
