Abstract

This preliminary study aimed to evaluate the level of pedagogical knowledge readiness among pre-service Islamic education teachers at the Kulliyyah of Education (KOED), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). A total of 16 respondents completed a structured questionnaire designed to assess 15 aspects of pedagogical knowledge. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics to determine respondents’ levels of pedagogical knowledge. The findings indicate that the respondents generally demonstrated a high level of pedagogical knowledge, with mean scores ranging from 3.75 to 4.69 across the 15 items, suggesting strong agreement with the statements. Items related to understanding students’ different learning styles exhibited particularly high mean scores, reflecting confidence and consistency in these areas. In contrast, items addressing the application of learning theories in teaching and the integration of Islamic knowledge with soft skills in lesson planning showed comparatively lower mean scores and greater variability, indicating potential areas for further development. These results provide preliminary evidence of the questionnaire’s effectiveness and highlight areas where targeted interventions may enhance pre-service teachers’ pedagogical readiness for Islamic Education classrooms
