The Impact of E-Aishi Interactive Professional Quality Module to Preschool Teacher Character Development: A Scoping Review

This study aims to design and develop the e-AISHI Interactive Professional Quality Module for the character building of preschool teachers. The objectives of this study are to identify the level of need for module development, to design and develop the module and finally to evaluate its usability. This study employs a multimethod approach using the Design and Development Research (DDR) framework, which consists of three phases. Phase 1 involved 350 preschool teachers to analyse the level of need for module development. Data analysis in this phase was conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 27). In Phase 2, ten experts were involved in validating the content of the draft module. Data were analysed using the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM). In Phase 3, three experts were selected to determine the validity and reliability of the draft module. Data analysis for this phase employed the Cohen’s Kappa Index Calculation Technique. Subsequently, 21 preschool teachers were selected as participants to assess the usability of the draft module using the Nominal Group Technique (NGT). Findings from Phase 1 indicated a high level of need for module development, with more than 59.7% of respondents strongly agreeing with 11 items, while the rest agreed. The Cronbach’s Alpha value recorded was 0.946. In Phase 2, the threshold value (d) was found to be 0.047, which did not exceed the 0.2 threshold. This indicates a high level of expert consensus and acceptance of the draft module. In Phase 3, the validity and reliability analysis of the draft module recorded a Kappa value of 1, showing that the module’s validity and reliability were at an excellent level. During the usability evaluation phase, based on expert consensus through the Draft Module Usability Evaluation Form, 16 items recorded 100% agreement, and 3 items reached 95.2%. This demonstrates that the module is generally appropriate and accepted by the experts. The final outcome of this study is the development of the e-AISHI Interactive Professional Quality Module, which contributes to the character building of preschool teachers. This study provides implications for theory, preschool teachers, the field of knowledge and practical application.
