| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to explore the leadership experiences and practices of Meranao student leaders at four Islamic institutions of higher learning in Marawi City, Philippines on their involvement as student government (SG) leaders. Specifically, the objectives of this study are to explore the Meranao student leaders' understanding of the concept of leadership, to examine whether their leadership practices and experiences are consistent with effective leadership and to investigate their leadership practices that portray adherence to Islamic values. Using the qualitative case study the data were collected from small group discussions (SGDs) and questionnaire. Four SGDs consisting of thirteen (13) student leaders representing the four Islamic institutions were conducted while a total of seventy-eight (78) respondents answered the 30-item Student Leadership Practices Inventory (SLPI) and the 14-item Adherence to Islamic Values (AIV). Results from the SGDs revealed that the Meranao student leaders have personal definitions of leadership and identified characteristics of an effective leader. They likewise have well-developed and divergent definitions of leadership. As for their motivation in joining the SG, two distinct factors emerged. One is to express a profound sense of positive reform while others have motivations that are tainted with the lack of proper understanding of the attached responsibilities of leadership as if it was only for popularity and adventurism. They also viewed that their student government (SG) experiences assisted them in gaining self-confidence, interpersonal skills, communication skills, and civic consciousness. Findings from the SLPI indicated that 74% of the Meranao student leaders treat others with dignity and respect; 69% look for ways to improve their projects; 64% of them give people in their organization support and express appreciations for their contributions; 63% set goals and plans for the projects they undertake; and 54% are enthusiastic and excited about what their organization is doing. As for the AIV, the data showed that 58% of the Meranao student leaders claimed that they are frequently performing or observing the 14 qualities of an Islamic leader. Additional results from the small group discussions (SGDs) affirmed that institutions of higher learning give little attention and support to student development programmes. Thus, by implications, the Islamic institutions covered in this study need to review their policies concerning the support they give for the development of their students. |
