Tauhidic Science as a Faculty Course: Lecturer's Perspectives Towards Proposed Course Content, Suitability and Sufficiency

Concept of Tauhidic Science has been discussed in the first Teaching and Learning Congress 2009 organized by the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Consequently, a proposal to introduce a course with a code that falls under the Dean's Office has been a natural development of this concept in the Faculty of Science and Technology, UKM. Through survey method responses from 37 subjects, consisting of the academic staffs, administrators and graduated students from different educational background and experiences in teaching and learning, were obtained particularly on the course content of the tauhidic science concept. The relevancy and the sufficiency of the course material on each topic were assessed. Results of the analysis showed that majority of the respondents (>85%) agreed that objectives, concepts and title of the topics in the course content are relevance to students, as well as showing a positive impact towards Science Tauhidic concepts. In general, 10 proposed topics as the course contents are acceptable and this was shown by an agreement of 90% of the respondents. In the aspect of sufficiency of course material, as a whole, 70% of the respondents agreed that topics that are going to be discussed are sufficient and complete. Only about 5% of the respondents stated that 5 topics of the course contents are insufficient. Result of this study can be used for continuous quality improvement, aiming to develop a solid and sound course for the benefit of UKM students.
