This research explores the trilogy concept's application in improving student quality and educational standards at the Ulul Albab Islamic Education Foundation. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach with case studies, and this research focuses on the quality of teachers, students, and parents. The results show the foundation's commitment to producing students with character through learning activities and extracurricular learning. Increasing teacher quality can be realized through investment in human resources, which increases individual capital. Meanwhile, through parenting activities and home visits, the role of parents in educating children at home is strengthened. A holistic approach involving all relevant parties, full support from the environment, community, and government, and the implementation of quality management and national standards are the keys to improving the quality of Islamic education. The implication is that greater collaborative efforts are needed between all stakeholders to implement effective strategies in improving education quality and increasing educators' competence in educating the next generation.

“…One way young adults begin to form their identity is by trying new interests, which can be achieved through participating in extracurricular activities (Higgins, 2006). Extracurricular activities are defined as activities that occur within the university community but are not connected to the content of an academic course (Ribeiro et al, 2023). Involvement in extracurricular activities has been linked to many positive outcomes, such as developing skills for future jobs, and improved academic achievement (Ribeiro et al, 2023), and may also contribute to students' feelings of significance in reference to their university community (Moschella & Baynard, 2021).…”

Introduction: Mattering, defined as the extent to which an individual feels they are significant and important, is associated with well-being. The university setting provides emerging adults with the opportunity to develop their identity by exploring new experiences and interests, including by participating in extracurricular activities. In this study, we investigate whether there is a positive relationship between extracurricular participation and feelings of mattering.Methods: Undergraduate students (N = 384) at Dalhousie University completed an online survey measuring extracurricular involvement (using the Dalhousie Extracurricular Involvement Survey) and feelings of mattering. Most participants were women (78%), living off-campus with roommates (45%), and in their second-year of study (36%). The Dalhousie Extracurricular Involvement Survey asked students about the types of extracurriculars they were involved in, the number of hours of participation, and words to describe how they felt when being involved. Data were analyzed with Spearman's correlations and visualized using scatterplots.Results: 59% of participants were involved in extracurricular activities, with the highest proportion of the total sample involved in academic societies (21%). The results indicated weak but significant positive correlations between total hours involved in extracurricular activities, general and interpersonal mattering, and a moderate correlation between involvement and university mattering.Discussion: These results can be used to provide valuable information that universities can use to develop initiatives that reduce stress and promote well-being on campus, and investigate whether extracurricular involvement can be used as a potential intervention to improve mattering in university students.
