Purpose: The psychological well-being of students plays an important role that needs to be examined as it revolves around aspects of internal psychology in a less tangible manner. While a student’s external behavior may provide several insights into well-being, it does not reflect the internal psychological state of a student. This study will be carried out to give a detailed picture of the psychological well-being of primary school students. Methodology: An in-depth interview method was used to collect data. The individuals involved in this study consisted of 10 primary school Muslim Religious students in the residential area of Pahang, Malaysia. Findings: The analysis of these interviews revealed several key themes, including strength in oneself, social involvement, and family support system. The findings of this study can be used as required certificates to help practitioners understand the diverse perspectives on psychological well-being. These themes can be used to enhance family functionality to achieve and maintain psychological well-being and academic achievement in confronting life’s challenges. Implications for Research and Practice: Firstly, it is important to develop customized strategies that teachers, school counselors and professionals can use based on the findings of this study. These strategies should aim to improve the welfare of elementary school students from low-income backgrounds. Additionally, involving families in the process can be incredibly beneficial in creating a nurturing and supportive home environment for students. Lastly it is crucial to provide social skills training that incorporates activities promoting peer relationships, teamwork, and effective communication.

Teamwork is an essential soft skills that need to be applied to every student in the national education institutions. The application of these skills is in line with the government's plan in the National Education Blueprint (Higher Education) 2015-2025 which aims at producing a holistic graduate who could be characterized by an entrepreneurship and balanced process of education. This study aims to identify the impact of teamwork in the process of teaching and learning in the compulsory subjects in the Malaysian Public Universities. This study employed a quantitative method through a survey using questionnaires. A total of 424 respondents were randomly selected to make comparisons between the two public universities, namely Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) and the Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) which are consisting of various ethnic groups, religions and field of study. Results showed a positive impact of teamwork skills on student's in the process of teaching and learning in both public universities. The teamwork skills could help to enhance the added-values on students, build their self-confidence and help to improve their communication skills and interaction with the others. In addition, the study also showed that the implication of teamwork skills on the students could expose and help them to develop critical and creative thinking to solve problems related to their tasks and improve the quality of learning process. In conclusion, this study suggests that the implementation of teamwork skills should be included together with the other prescribed soft skills with varied learned-centred activities.
