Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the key factors influencing student motivation and behavior in higher education, with a specific emphasis on student engagement, counseling, and mental health services. The main objective is to understand how these components contribute to students’ academic and personal development, enhance their learning experiences, and foster a healthy and inclusive campus environment. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework draws from Self-Determination Theory (SDT), which highlights the significance of autonomy, competence, and relatedness in motivating individuals. Literature review: The literature review supports the role of student-centered support systems, particularly mental health and counseling services, as essential for academic persistence and emotional resilience. Methods: A qualitative research approach was adopted, employing focus groups and in-depth interviews with a diverse set of participants. These included faculty members across various disciplines, professional counselors, mental health practitioners, and students. Results: The study reveals that intrinsic motivation—fostered through an inclusive and supportive academic culture—is a major determinant of student success. Students who actively engage in academic and extracurricular activities demonstrate more positive behavior and show higher levels of motivation and resilience. Counseling and mental health services play a crucial role in helping students navigate emotional and psychological stress, thus sustaining their engagement and well-being. Implications: The findings have significant implications for higher education institutions. They underscore the need to prioritize mental health services and student engagement programs as core components of student success strategies. Institutions should create opportunities for leadership, peer support, and inclusive learning to strengthen students’ sense of belonging and community. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its integrated perspective, combining academic, psychological, and social dimensions to propose a holistic model for fostering student motivation and behavior.

This study aims to analyze the strategy of forming student discipline in Islamic Elementary Schools in Malaysia through a holistic approach to character education. The main focus of this research is to identify the methods and practices used by these schools in shaping student discipline, as well as how a holistic approach can support balanced and sustainable character development. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with teachers, principals, and parents of students, as well as through direct observation in several selected Islamic Elementary Schools in Malaysia. Data analysis was carried out using thematic analysis techniques to identify patterns and main themes related to discipline formation strategies. The results show that Islamic Elementary School students in Malaysia have adopted various discipline formation strategies that integrate Islamic values with the principles of character education. The holistic approach applied includes spiritual coaching, strengthening social relationships between students, and the application of fair and consistent discipline. The study also found that collaboration between schools and parents has an important role in shaping student discipline, with an emphasis on the values of togetherness, responsibility, and honesty. The novelty of this study lies in the disclosure of how a holistic approach to character education can have a positive impact on the formation of sustainable discipline in the primary school environment. The implications of this study show that a holistic approach that integrates religious, social, and emotional values can be an effective model in shaping student discipline in Islamic Elementary Schools. This research makes an important contribution to the development of student character education strategies in Islamic Elementary Schools in Malaysia and can be a reference for education practitioners in improving the quality of character education in other educational institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to conduct a comparative study on the concept of ideal teacher competence according to Al-Ghazali and Abdullah Nashih Ulwan, as well as examine their relevance and application in the modern education system. Teacher competence, which includes aspects of knowledge, skills, and morals, is an important element in shaping the quality of education. Al-Ghazali and Abdullah Nashih Ulwan, as prominent scholars, have made significant contributions in formulating the characteristics of the ideal teacher from the Islamic perspective. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, where data is collected through an in-depth literature study of the works of the two figures. The results of the study show that although there are some similarities in the views of Al-Ghazali and Abdullah Nashih Ulwan related to the competence of ideal teachers, such as the emphasis on noble morals and mastery of science, there are also differences in the context of their application. Al-Ghazali emphasizes more on the role of teachers in building the character of students and the educational community, while Abdullah Nashih Ulwan focuses more on the aspects of mastery of knowledge and teaching methods. The novelty of this study lies in a comparative analysis that reveals the relevance of the views of these two scholars in answering the challenges of modern education, including in the application of technology and curriculum development. The implications of this research are expected to be a reference for policymakers and education practitioners in formulating teacher competency development strategies based on Islamic values, which are by the demands of the times without ignoring religious principles.
