摘要

Students' mental in higher education plays a very important role in academic success, especially for gifted student. Many findings indicate that there were not a few gifted students who had troubles. This research was conducted to produce a counseling service strategy by combining religious aspects with aspects that are always used in human daily life in displaying certain behaviors. The strategy developed was applied to the final year gifted students who had non-technical problems related to student motivation and emotions. Treatment was done to help strengthen the mental of gifted students in achieving academic success in the form of completing studies in a timely manner. Student’s mental strength was observed from several indicators which were part of the content of the strategy developed. The development of mental strength of students after being given treatment was reviewed using the results of the questionnaire interpretation that had been filled by students, which were then analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that religious counseling services with strategies developed could help gifted students to have aspects of behavior that were very important to themselves, so that there were no obstacles that arise in themselves to achieve academic success through the completion of timely studies with satisfactory results.
