Construct Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in the Islamic Paradigm for Muslim Students in Indonesia

Abstract

Adherents of Islam use religious values ​​as a basis for living life. Therefore, the psychological concepts used in helping a Muslim must be contracted based on Islamic values ​​such as the concept of social emotional learning (SEL). SEL constructs integrated with Islamic values include Self-awareness, Self-management, Social Awareness, Relationship skills, and Responsible decision-making. The aim of this research is to construct the concept of social emotional learning in the Islamic paradigm for Muslim students in Indonesia. The current research data was collected from a total of 534 Muslim students in Indonesia aged between 14 and 18 years. The SEL construct in the Islamic paradigm covers all stages of the process by compiling the aspects and indicators contained therein. The construction process involves explanatory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis tests. The results of this construct obtain a new concept of SEL in the Islamic paradigm which consists of seven aspects/factors with a total of 19 indicators. Thus, this new construct of SEL in the Islamic paradigm can then be used by psychology developers to identify SEL in the Islamic paradigm in Muslim students in Indonesia. This construct will complement previous findings regarding social emotional learning, based on Islamic values ​​in Muslim students in Indonesia.
