Abstract

Tahfiz teachers recognize the importance of applying Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTs) in the process of teaching Hifz al-Quran. The objective of the study is to examine the relationships among knowledge, skills and attitude of tahfiz teachers in implementing HOTs while also investigating whether years of teaching experience and frequency of professional training moderate these relationships. This study uses quantitative research methods. The research sample includes 198 teachers from different tahfiz institution in Malaysia. The data are analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and SPSS Analysis of Moment Structure (AMOS) software. The analysis yields significant direct relationships between knowledge, skills and attitude. However, no significant moderating effects of teaching experience or training frequency were found. These findings highlight that teacher competencies in knowledge, skills and attitude are interdependent and essential for effective HOTs implementation in tahfiz education. This study implies that the SEM related to teachers’ competency will serve as a baseline framework for future research in educational field.
