Strengthen Students’ Moral through Islamic Therapy Using Emotional Spiritual Quotient Practicum Module

Abstract

This study was motivated by the non-uniformity of the implementation of the practice of Islamic religious education courses due to the absence of a practicum module that could improve character building for Muslim students at the Universitas Lampung. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the design concept of the Emotional Spiritual Quotient (ESQ) practicum module which includes Islamic Therapy in shaping the morals of students. This study was descriptive qualitative. Primary and secondary data were used in this study. Primary data was obtained from interviews, while secondary data was obtained from reference sources which were used as reinforcement. The design concept of the ESQ practicum module in the form of Islamic therapy produced was a combination of intellectual (IQ), emotional (EQ), and Spiritual (SQ) intelligence which includes the process of forming eight strengths to make students good (The 8 Powers of Doing Good). The design of this ESQ practicum module contains Islamic Therapy in shaping student morality, using a cognitive therapy approach with Islamic spiritual psychotherapy tools. Through the design of this module, it is hoped that each individual student can understand his or her self-conception including their physical and psychological needs and also have the ability to fulfill the requirements as a khalifahtullah.
