Abstract

The inculcation of the civilization values plays an important role in one's character despite being in the challenging era of the Industrial revolution 4.0. It can be obtained through education, which is the main branch in the inculcation of values. Education is not only the process of feeding the mind with all the knowledge yet to be known, but also to educate people to instill these civilization values in themselves, as they lead their lives in this modern era. The government's effort to introduce The Islamic and Asian Civilization (TITAS) at the Public Higher Learning Institutions (IPTA) and the Private Higher Learning Institute (IPTS) are the right action to cater for students' high intellect with high civilization values without being carried away by development. The good elements instilled in TITAS are able to educate students to understand high civilization values. This study employs the online questionnaire among the students who take the course. From the respondents' feedback, it is analysed to identify the extent, to which TITAS students at UKM are able to inculcate civilization values within themselves in facing globalisation. The finding reveals that the implementation of TITAS in Higher Learning Institutes especially in UKM and the approach used are able to form high civilization values. It can automatically contribute to the development of human capital holistically in enriching the development of civilization in Malaysia.
