The Role of Universities in Educating Committed Human Resources Equipped with Islamic Spirit from the Perspective of Fourth-Year Students at the Logar Higher Education Institute

Abstract

This research, employing a mixed-methods approach of both

quantitative and qualitative analysis, examines the role of

universities in educating committed human resources equipped with

an Islamic spirit from the perspective of fourth-year students at the

Logar Higher Education Institute. The study's population consisted

of 180 fourth-year students from this institute in the year 1403 (2024).

Based on Morgan's table, 118 students were selected as a sample, and

a researcher-made questionnaire containing both quantitative and

qualitative questions was distributed among them. The quantitative

results were analyzed using distribution tables, while the qualitative

results were analyzed through open, axial, and selective coding

methods. The findings of the research indicated that this educational

institution has achieved significant success in religious education and

mastery of Islamic values; the overwhelming majority of respondents

in both quantitative and qualitative sections emphasized that the

Islamic education programs of this institution have played a

substantial role in fostering an Islamic spirit among students.

However, most respondents noted deficiencies in their skills and

identified the main factors as the lack of scientific-research facilities

and weaknesses in providing services to the university, particularly

to faculty and students.
