Abstract

Student-led research is essential to academic growth, offering insights and meaningful reflections grounded in real educational experiences. However, many published works are left unused within institutional archives, leaving their potential impact untapped. The research utilized a structured review process that analyzed published student works to uncover patterns that inform the creation of student-centered development programs. The findings show that student-led publications reflect key areas of student growth, including intellectual, emotional, social, moral, and spiritual development. The reviewed articles highlight how student experiences and reflections offer valuable insights into their personal and academic journeys. These insights suggest that student research can be used to guide the creation of responsive development programs that align with students' real needs and institutional goals.
