Spiritual Intelligence And Its Relationship To The Classroom Environment Among Primary School Teachers

Abstract

Despite the importance of spiritual intelligence among teachers, researchers have not given sufficient attention to research and study. This prompted the researcher to study this type of intelligence and its relationship to the classroom environment. The importance of the research lies in identifying the abilities and psychological characteristics of primary education teachers, namely: spiritual intelligence and the classroom environment. It aimed to reveal spiritual intelligence and its relationship to the classroom environment among the study sample. The study hypotheses were formulated: There is a statistically significant positive correlation between the scores of primary education teachers on the spiritual intelligence scale and their scores on the classroom environment scale.The study employed a descriptive-analytical approach. The sample consisted of 200 primary school teachers in Baghdad Governorate. The study instruments included the Spiritual Intelligence Scale and the Classroom Environment Scale. Statistical methods used included means, standard deviations, Pearson's correlation coefficient to examine the relationship between the two variables, Cronbach's alpha, and a t-test. The results indicated a statistically significant positive correlation between the scores of primary school teachers on the Spiritual Intelligence Scale and their scores on the Classroom Environment Scale.In light of the overall study results, the researcher recommended that psychological studies should focus on positive variables, given the positive impact these variables have on individuals and societies. Among these variables are spiritual intelligence and professional motivation.
