| dc.description.abstract | During the last decade, most countries including Malaysia were the witness of decline in moral standards among university students. Previous research showed that noble values’ scores were higher in freshmen but reaching to the final year the scores decreased. This research also clarified the proper role of the values education for the freshmen. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of socio-psychodrama method, as a rich educational method, for a college-aged group to moderate their human values and in the case of effectiveness, to suggest it as an alternative method of teaching. The study approach was carried out via mixed method analysis; quantitatively on a quasi-experimental design and qualitatively on transcendental phenomenological approach. The instruments were Schwartz Value Inventory (SVI) and researcher made questionnaire for written interview questions. The sample was selected among female freshmen majoring in TESOL in a public university in Pinang. It consisted of 30 students whom were divided and matched into two groups of 15 in each group, as experimental and control groups. The experimental group received 11 sessions of socio-psychodrama intervention while the control group remained in the waiting list. Data were analysed using repeated measurement analysis for the effect of socio-psychodrama on their value sets and univariate analysis for the effect of demographic variables on their value sets in the quantitative part. For the qualitative data, transcendental phenomenological approach was applied to explain “what did they experience during the socio-psychodrama classes” and “how did they experience it”. Repeated measurement tests’ results revealed satisfactory significant differences between the two groups. In this way, the null hypothesis on Individual, Collective and Mixed value scores among female freshmen were rejected. Nonetheless, the null hypothesis for the participants’ demographic traits was accepted except for their fathers’ level of education. Thus, in this study apart from the participants’ fathers’ level of education, demographic variables had no effect on the freshmen’s different value sets’ scores. Finally, transcendental phenomenological analysis explained what and how the freshmen experienced it. In the qualitative method of analysis, it was revealed that they were enjoying the socio-psychodrama intervention and role playing. This intervention could built-up their self-confidence, problem solving skill, analytical thinking and empathy towards the others. Conclusion, socio-psychodrama intervention was an effective method to moderate freshmen participants’ human values in both quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis. | en_US |
