Educational Strategies to Develop Discipline among Students from the Islamic Perspectives

摘要

Issues pertaining to discipline among students both in schools and higher institutions of learning are constantly being highlighted in the mainstream media, such as bullying, gangsterism, smoking, beating up teacher, stealing, raping and so forth. Several studies have been conducted to determine factors which lead students to behave in such a manner. Although, these studies have developed strategies to tackle the issues, the problems still persist. This may be because the approach used does not take into consideration a balanced approach which includes the elements of emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects. This paper intends to consider an approach employed from the perspective of Islamic Educational Strategy in tackling the students. This qualitative research focuses on reviewing analysis of educational philosophy from the perspectives of Islamic scholars using documentation method and the data gathered would be analysed as findings. The objective of the paper is to determine the type of educational strategies in Islam that can help mould students to become disciplined students. The strategies would be put forward to curriculum planners so that a more balance educational system can be formed. Subsequently, the strategies can be employed by parents, school teachers, and lecturers to educate and develop students to be disciplined.
