The Role of Universities in Educating Committed Human Resources Equipped with Islamic Spirit from the Perspective of Fourth-Year Students at the Logar Higher Education Institute

This research, employing a mixed-methods approach of both quantitative and qualitative analysis, examines the role of universities in educating committed human resources equipped with an Islamic spirit from the perspective of fourth-year students at the Logar Higher Education Institute. The study's population consisted of 180 fourth-year students from this institute in the year 1403 (2024). Based on Morgan's table, 118 students were selected as a sample, and a researcher-made questionnaire containing both quantitative and qualitative questions was distributed among them. The quantitative results were analyzed using distribution tables, while the qualitative results were analyzed through open, axial, and selective coding methods. The findings of the research indicated that this educational institution has achieved significant success in religious education and mastery of Islamic values; the overwhelming majority of respondents in both quantitative and qualitative sections emphasized that the Islamic education programs of this institution have played a substantial role in fostering an Islamic spirit among students. However, most respondents noted deficiencies in their skills and identified the main factors as the lack of scientific-research facilities and weaknesses in providing services to the university, particularly to faculty and students.
