ISLAMIC PSYCHOLOGY APPROACH IN DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ MENTAL WELL-BEING

Abstract

This study aims to examine the Islamic psychological approach in fostering students’ mental well-being in schools. The research employed a qualitative method through literature review. Data were collected using documentation techniques and processed through condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The findings indicate that Islamic psychology is a process of integrating Islamic values through psychological approaches. Students’ mental well-being refers to a state in which they feel safe and comfortable while learning. Several psychological approaches can be applied to develop students’ mental health. The structural approach involves understanding students’ learning experiences. The functional approach emphasizes recognizing religious behaviors that contribute to mental well-being. Lastly, the psychoanalytical approach focuses on understanding religious education to cultivate students’ spiritual development, which ultimately supports their overall mental well-being at school.
