Identifying the components of Islamic realism with an anthropological approach: Educational implications for faculty members

The aim of this study was to identify the components of Islamic realism with an anthropological approach aimed at educational implications for faculty members. This research was done using a mixed-methods design. In the qualitative phase, a questionnaire was developed based on the opinion of experts obtained through semi-structured interviews and according to the results of content analysis. After performing exploratory factor analysis to explain the variance of effective factors and the matrix of rotating factors, finally 54 indicators including 18 factors for Islamic realism with an anthropological approach were identified and provided to university faculty members in form of a questionnaire. These questionnaires were analyzed by structural equations method, and after determining the weight of each factor, the effect of components and indicators was examined. Then, the proposed research model was presented to identify the components of Islamic realism with an anthropological approach to extract educational implications. The degree of appropriateness of the proposed model was confirmed according to the components of the research. The results also showed that the components of Islamic realism with an anthropological approach play an important and effective role in the development of faculty members' education.
