TAHAP PENERIMAAN DAN KEBERKESANAN KURSUS TASAWWUR ISLAM DALAM KALANGAN MAHASISWA ASASI DI UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA SABAH

Abstract

The offer of basic studies at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) is the same as that offered at other local universities, namely to students who are graduates of Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM). In pursuing the foundation level at Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Muslim students need to follow the subject of Tasawwur Islam as one of the compulsory subjects. The subject of Tasawwur Islam is a continuation of the application of religious knowledge to Muslim students to provide added value to their lives. The question that arises here is does this Tasawwur Islam course have an encouraging impact on the lives of students? Therefore, this study was conducted to see the level of acceptance and effectiveness of Tasawwur Islam courses among students at UMS. This study uses quantitative methodologies based on questionnaires distributed through Google Form. There were 50 respondents among the students at UMS who had taken the time to participate in their views and perceptions on the level of acceptance and effectiveness of the Tasawwur Islam course at the foundation level. The results of the Tasawwur Islam course offering at the foundation level showed that 84% of the students can increase their knowledge especially in the ins and outs of Islam, 60% of students can apply the knowledge gained in everyday life and 42% of students can transform themselves into a better person than before. Overall, the offering of Tasawwur Islam courses at this fundamental level has a positive impact on the lives of students in the coming days.
