THE INFLUENCE OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ISLAMIC MINDFULNESS ON THE ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE OF STAIN MADINA STUDENTS

Abstract

The increasingly complex world of college requires students to have good self-management skills and academic discipline. One approach that is considered relevant in the context of Islamic education is Islamic mindfulness, namely full awareness based on spiritual values ​​such as monotheism, sincerity, patience, and muraqabah. This study aims to determine the effect of Islamic mindfulness on the academic discipline of students in the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) Study Program at STAIN Mandailing Natal. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational research type. The research sample consisted of 23 fifth-semester PAI students of class A selected using a purposive sampling technique. The data collection technique used a Likert scale questionnaire, while data analysis was carried out through validity, reliability, normality, and simple regression tests. The results of the study indicate that Islamic mindfulness has a positive and significant effect on students' academic discipline with a significance value of 0.004 (<0.05) and a contribution of 42%. This finding indicates that the higher the level of Islamic mindfulness of students, the higher their academic discipline. Thus, Islamic mindfulness can be used as an alternative approach in developing the character and academic discipline of students in Islamic universities.
