Abstract

ABSTRAK

Peningkatan kemasukan pelajar ke dalam bidang pendidikan tahfiz menunjukkan bahawa masyarakat meyakini bidang ini sebagai salah satu medium pembentukan sahsiah. Namun, berlaku masalah sahsiah dalam kalangan pelajar tahfiz yang belum dikaji secara empirikal. Berdasarkan sorotan kajian, faktor kecemerlangan hafazan menjadi satu kayu ukur dalam pembentukan sahsiah pelajar tahfiz. Namun, faktor penghayatan agama merupakan salah satu faktor penting yang perlu difokuskan dalam pembentukan sahsiah pelajar tahfiz. Justeru, kajian ini bertujuan menganalisis penghayatan agama sebagai pengantara antara kecemerlangan hafazan dan pembentukan sahsiah pelajar tahfiz. Reka bentuk kajian tinjauan digunakan dengan pengumpulan data melalui soal selidik yang dibina hasil dari Perbincangan Kumpulan Berfokus (FGD). Seterusnya soal-selidik yang diedarkan kepada 905 orang pelajar tahfiz yang di maahad tahfiz di bawah Persatuan Institusi Tahfiz al-Quran Negeri Selangor (PITAS). Analisis EFA (Exploratory Factor Analysis) dan CFA (Confirmatory Factor Analysis) yang dijalankan mengesahkan bahawa terdapat dua sub-faktor penghayatan agama iaitu (i) makruf (ii) mungkar dan dua sub-faktor sahsiah iaitu (i) mahmudah (ii) mazmumah. Analisis Structural Equation Modelling SEM-AMOS digunakan dalam kajian bagi menguji hipotesis kajian. Analisis SEM menunjukkan model penghayatan agama sebagai pengantara dengan kecemerlangan hafazan dan sahsiah mencapai nilai kesepadanan yang baik iaitu (RMSEA=0.05, GFI=0.97, CFI=0.97 dan Chisq/df =3.39). Oleh itu, kajian mendapati penghayatan agama dianalisis sebagai pengantara separa dengan hubungan antara kecemerlangan hafazan dan sahsiah. Secara keseluruhannya, kajian ini mendapati penghayatan agama memberi pengaruh positif dalam pembentukan sahsiah pelajar tahfiz. Faktor penghayatan agama ini perlu diberi penekanan bagi meningkatkan kualiti sahsiah pelajar tahfiz seperti yang diharapkan oleh masyarakat.

ABSTRACT

The increase of student enrollment in the field of tahfiz education shows that the community believes in this field as one of the mediums of personality development. However, there are personality problems among tahfiz students that have not been studied empirically. Based on the literature review, the factor of memorization excellence becomes a determinant in the personality development of tahfiz students. However, religiosity is one of the most important factors that need to be focused on in the personality development of tahfiz students. Thus, this study aims to analyze religiosity as a mediator between memorization excellence and personality development of tahfiz students. The survey method was used with data collection via a questionnaire constructed from Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Next, the questionnaire was distributed to 905 tahfiz students in the tahfiz maahad under the Persatuan Institut Tahfiz Negeri Selangor (PITAS). The analysis of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) conducted confirmed that there are two sub-factors of religiosity, namely (i) makruf (ii) munkar and two personality sub-factors, namely (i) mahmudah (ii) mazmumah. SEM-AMOS Structural Equation Modeling Analysis was used to test the study hypotheses. SEM analysis showed that the model of religiosity as a mediator with memorization excellence and personality achieved good matching values   (RMSEA = 0.05, GFI = 0.97, CFI = 0.97 and Chisq/df = 3.39). Therefore, the study found that religiosity was analyzed as a partial mediator in the relationship between memorization excellence and personality. Overall, this study found that religiosity positively influences the personality development of tahfiz students. This religiosity factor needs to be emphasized to improve the personality quality of tahfiz students as expected by the community.
