Abstract

One of the essential components in the online education system is the potential of university students’ adversity quotient. This study focused on analysing how university students’ adversity quotient influences the constructiveness of Islamic Education Program (PAI) online learning in higher education. This research was located at the State University of Malang (UM), Indonesia, and its methodology used a qualitative approach in the form of case study. The data were collected through observation, documentation, and online-based interviews to the first years of the participating universities. Nevertheless, interactive model of Miles, Hubermann, and Saldana was used as data analysis. This study found that four indicators of university students’ adversity quotient (persistent, resilient, self-gratefulness and sincere) were able to strengthen the constructiveness of PAI online learning that is set on the philosophical foundation “students are the whole person”. These indicators of university students’ adversity quotient are increasingly honed through the assistance of humanist-religious lecturers who are able to facilitate PAI learning process in UM. The implication of this study is the emergence of the efforts to optimise the university students’ adversity quotient with the assistance of humanist-religious lecturers. The challenges faced by students, particularly when dealing with the epidemic, including disruptions to traditional learning environments.
