The Mualafs or also referred to as new brothers or sisters are those who are in dire need of guidance and instruction in an organized and strategic manner so that their understanding of Islam can be improved. In empowering the education of converts, peers as coach are very important to provide high motivation and encouragement. In addition, it can provide moral support through social networking activities. The objective of this study is to find out the extent to which the role of peers as coach in enhancing understanding and helping each other. Next, this study aims to see the effect of peer support in increasing motivation among converts in the classroom. This study uses an exploratory quantitative research design through a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. A total of 250 questionnaires were distributed containing 244 questionnaires. The findings of this study show that the learning module and the sharing of classmates or ‘buddy’ can have an impact on the motivation of convert students to continue their learning activities and development in the basic sciences of Muslim. As for the dimension of the classroom environment, it is found to have no significant influence on student motivation directly, but it leads to a ‘buddy’ partnership that allows it to be a mediator to the students motivation with overall mediation. This study proposes further research in looking at whether the factors of efficient learning and learning attributes impact Muslim values that can be applied, with a more comprehensive methodology.
Golongan Mualaf atau disebut juga sebagai saudara baru atau saudara kita adalah mereka yang sangat memerlukan kepada bimbingan dan tunjuk ajar secara tersusun dan berstrategik agar kefahaman mereka berkaitan agama Islam dapat ditingkatkan. Dalam memperkasa pendidikan mualaf, rakan sebaya sebagai coaching sangat penting untuk memberi motivasi dan dorongan semangat yang tinggi. Selain itu ia dapat membina sokongan moral melalui aktiviti jaringan sosial. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk mengetahui sejauhmanakah peranan rakan sebaya sebagai coaching dalam meningkatkan kefahaman dan membantu antara satu sama lain. Seterusnya kajian ini bertujuan melihat kesan sokongan rakan sebaya dalam meningkatkan motivasi di kalangan mualaf dalam kelas pengajian. Kajian ini menggunakan reka bentuk penyelidikan kuantitatif penerokaan melalui pendekatan model persamaan struktur atau structural equation modelling (SEM). Sebanyak 250 borang soal selidik diedarkan dengan 244 borang soal selidik dapat digunakan. Dapatan kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa modul pembelajaran dan perkongsian pasangan rakan sekelas atau ‘buddy’ dapat memberi impak terhadap motivasi pelajar mualaf untuk meneruskan aktiviti dan perkembangan pembelajaran mereka dalam ilmu-ilmu asas muslim. Manakala bagi dimensi persekitaran kelas, ia didapati tidak mempunyai pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap motivasi pelajar secara lansung, namun ia membawa ke arah perkongsian ‘buddy’ yang membolehkannya menjadi mediator kepada motivasi pelajar tersebut dengan pengantaraan keseluruhan. Kajian ini mencadangkan kajian seterusnya di dalam melihat apakah faktor pembelajaran efisyan dan atribut pembelajaran berimpak nilai-nilai muslim yang dapat diterapkan, dengan metodologi yang lebih menyeluruh.
