Abstract

This study aims to analyze strategies for improving Islamic financial literacy in early childhood education institutions. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected through non-participatory observation, in-depth interviews with key stakeholders (principal, treasurer, and teachers), and document analysis. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, involving data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that effective strategies include integrating Islamic financial values into children's learning activities, implementing Sharia-compliant institutional financial management, involving teachers and parents, and promoting saving and sharing practices. These strategies enhance understanding of Islamic financial literacy and improve transparency and accountability in financial management. The study concludes that Islamic financial literacy can be developed from an early age through habituation, role modeling, and Sharia-based institutional practices, although further capacity building for human resources and continuous program strengthening are needed.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze Generation Z’s perceptions of the use of e-wallets such as Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, and MAE in their daily financial activities and to examine the implications for digital financial behavior and educational management. The study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design to obtain an in-depth understanding of users’ experiences with digital payment technologies. Informants were selected through purposive sampling based on the criteria of belonging to Generation Z and actively using at least one e-wallet application. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using interactive analysis techniques including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that Generation Z generally has positive perceptions of e-wallet usage, particularly regarding convenience, usefulness, and the integration of digital services that facilitate efficient transactions. However, ambivalent perceptions were also identified, especially related to concerns about data security and the potential for consumptive behavior due to promotional incentives such as cashback and discounts. These findings indicate that e-wallets are perceived not only as payment tools but also as part of the digital lifestyle of Generation Z. The study highlights the importance of strengthening digital financial literacy and responsible financial behavior through educational management strategies.
