Abstract

This study investigates the influence of integrated thematic learning on the academic achievement of primary school students in Indonesia. Recognizing that elementary education serves as the foundation for cognitive, affective, and psychomotor development, the research explores how integrated learning methods which unify multiple subjects under a single contextual theme impact students’ learning outcome. Employing a mixed methods approach with a correlational design, the study involved questionnaires, interviews, classroom observations, and documentation from third-grade students and teachers in a public elementary school. Quantitative results revealed a statistically significant positive correlation between the implementation of thematic instruction and students' academic performance. Meanwhile, qualitative findings emphasized increased student engagement, contextual understanding, and collaborative learning experiences. These results underscore the pedagogical effectiveness of integrated thematic learning, especially in supporting the holistic development of students under the 2013 Curriculum framework. The study contributes to existing literature by combining statistical evidence with classroom insights and offers practical recommendations for curriculum developers, teachers, and policymakers seeking to improve learning outcomes through innovative, student-centered instructional strategies.

Abstract

Islamic cooperatives serve as microfinance institutions that aim to integrate Islamic ethical values into financial practices, particularly in rural areas where access to formal banking remains limited. This study investigates the implementation of sharia principles in the savings and loan products of the Amanah Umat Cooperative in Dendang District, with a focus on the application of mudhārabah and musyārakah contracts. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, the research involved field observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis to capture the experiences of cooperative members and staff. The results show that while the cooperative demonstrates an intention to adhere to Islamic principles such as justice, mutual cooperation, and the prohibition of riba its implementation is constrained by informal practices, limited literacy, and the absence of internal sharia supervision. The use of mudhārabah and musyārakah is frequently inconsistent with normative sharia standards due to lack of contract clarity and risk-sharing mechanisms. This study contributes both theoretically and practically by offering grounded insights into the challenges of operationalizing Islamic finance at the grassroots level and highlights the need for context-sensitive strategies to enhance sharia compliance in cooperative systems.
