Peranan Pengurusan dan Persekitaran Kolej Profesional MARA dalam Pelaksanaan Program Mukmin Profesional (PMP) Terhadap Karakter Pelajar

Abstract

Peranan pihak pengurusan dan persekitaran merupakan elemen yang penting dalam menyokong pelaksanaan sesuatu program pendidikan yang membentuk karakter pelajar. Signifikan kajian ini adalah kerana pembentukan karakter pelajar sering dilihat dari aspek dalam kelas sahaja tanpa mengetengahkan peranan pihak pengurusan serta persekitaran kolej. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur hubungan sokongan pihak pengurusan dan persekitaran kolej dalam pelaksanaan Program Mukmin Profesional (PMP) terhadap pembentukan karakter kepimpinan insaniah pelajar di Kolej Profesional MARA (KPM). Subjek kajian terdiri daripada 674 orang pelajar semester akhir di KPM seluruh Malaysia. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kuantitatif dengan menganalisis dapatan menggunakan model perisian SmartPLS.  Hasil kajian mengesahkan sokongan pihak pengurusan dan sokongan persekitaran bertindak sebagai peramal yang penting kepada pembentukan karakter kepimpinan insaniah pelajar. Berdasarkan perspektif statistik, dapatan kajian ini telah mengesahkan hipotesis bahawa konstruk sokongan pihak pengurusan dan konstruk sokongan persekitaran mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan kepada pembentukan karakter kepimpinan insaniah pelajar di KPM. Hasil kajian ini akan menjadi kayu ukur kepada penilaian faktor-faktor yang lain yang menyumbang kepada pembentukan karakter kepimpinan insaniah pelajar di KPM selaras dengan objektif pelaksanaan PMP untuk melahirkan pelajar muslim profesional.

Abstract: The role of management and the environment is an important element in supporting the implementation of an educational program that shapes the character of students. The significance of this study is because the formation of student character is often seen from the classroom aspect alone without highlighting the role of management and the college environment. This study aims to measure the relationship between the support of the management and the college environment in the implementation of the Professional Mukmin Program (PMP) on the formation of the ‘Insaniah’ leadership character of students at the MARA Professional College (KPM). The subjects of the study consisted of 674 final semester students at KPM throughout Malaysia. This study uses a quantitative method by analyzing the research findings using the SmartPLS software model. The results of the study confirm that management support and environmental support act as important predictors for the formation of students' ‘Insaniah’ leadership character. Based on a statistical perspective, the findings of this study have confirmed the hypothesis that the construct of management support and the construct of environmental support have a significant relationship to the formation of the soft leadership character of students at KPM. The results of this study will be a yardstick in further strengthening the role of these two elements as well as identifying the main elements that contribute to the empowerment of student character who will be the layers of national leadership in line with the Federal Constitution Amendment Law which makes the youth play a greater role great in the formation of the nation state.
