Mothers' views on death education for children aged 4-6

This study forms the second phase of the research examining the inclusion of death in the Qur'an courses curriculum for children aged 4-6 years. The research aimed to determine the thoughts and feelings of mothers who sent their children on these courses if death is included in their children's education. The study was designed as qualitative research, allowing for a deep exploration of participants' views. A total of 61 mothers were interviewed using a structured interview form, and the collected data underwent rigorous content analysis. The result indicated that the participants showed positive attitudes toward the including death in their children's education. However, this positive stance toward the incorporation of such a sensitive topic raises the pressing issue of providing training on how to handle this subject effectively, both within family and among teachers responsible for conveying the content.
