Understanding the Dynamics Between Undergraduate Student’s Self-Perception and Home Environment Quality: An Islamic Approach

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to reveal the intricate relationships that exist between how well students see themselves and the state of their homes. In order to make sense of the complex connections between the many elements of the home environment and the students' conceptions of themselves, this study employs a quantitative methodology. Students from Lahore's public and private universities' education departments made up the study's population. A total of 630 chosen students made up the sample, which was chosen via proportionate stratified random selection. By illuminating these mechanisms, it offers potential avenues for interventions meant to enhance students' academic performance and well-being. This study, which takes an Islamic viewpoint, also looks at how Islamic principles and teachings affect students' opinions of themselves and their general well-being when they are at home. In Islam, the family is regarded as the cornerstone of society, and its role in nurturing moral and spiritual development is paramount. The Quran and Hadith emphasize the importance of maintaining harmonious family relationships, mutual respect, and moral upbringing. These religious principles foster a supportive and nurturing environment that significantly impacts students' self-esteem and academic performance. If the intricate linkages between students' opinions of themselves and the quality of their home environment are acknowledged and taken into account, more effective interventions and policies may be implemented to support the future academic success and well-being of students. Recognizing the influence of Islamic values on family dynamics can provide a culturally relevant framework for developing strategies that enhance the educational experiences and personal growth of students. Through this integrated approach, the study aims to contribute to the broader understanding of the factors that shape students' self-concept and academic success.
