The review synthesizes findings from various educational settings, highlighting the positive relationship between spiritual principles and intrinsic motivation. It also discusses challenges in integrating spirituality into secular education, emphasizing the need for culturally sensitive and inclusive approaches. The analysis suggests that fostering spiritual well-being can enhance learners’ motivation, resilience, and overall academic success, promoting a more balanced and fulfilling educational experience.
