Abstract

Zakat holds profound significance in the Muslim community. Its intricate calculations and diverse categories, however, often pose challenges for individuals striving to fulfill this religious obligation accurately. This research investigates the design, development, and impact of a Zakat Calculator Application on Islamic economics students' academic performance at UNU Blitar. By leveraging technology, this study aims to bridge the gap between traditional learning methods and the evolving needs of students in grasping the complexities of zakat. ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) guided the application's creation and evaluation. A sample of 60 students from a population of 90 was selected through simple random sampling. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and an independent two-sample t-test to compare the performance of students using the application with those relying on traditional lecture and discussion methods. The Zakat Calculator Application demonstrated high validity and effectiveness. Expert evaluations yielded excellent scores (media experts: 96.25%, material and strategy experts: 95.55%, curriculum practitioners: 94.69%, lesson plan experts: 92.00%). The t-test results revealed significant improvement in academic performance for students using the application. The experimental group achieved a high academic performance level of 87.5%, compared to 50.5% in the control group. In conclusion, Zakat Calculator Application effectively enhances the academic performance of Islamic economics students. It simplifies zakat calculations, improves understanding of zakat regulations, and promotes compliance with Islamic principles. The application is recommended as a valuable learning tool in Islamic economics education.

Abstract

Poverty is one of the main challenges faced by Indonesia, a country rich in natural resources and human potential. The presence of Islamic financial system is considered suitable for poverty alleviation programs. Islamic economics adheres to the principle of synergy (ta'awun) by creating economic justice to equalize the distribution of income and wealth, which is the goal of Islamic financial system. This research is a qualitative study with an inductive reasoning approach through a library research process. The data sources used to build the concept are secondary data derived from previous research in the form of articles discussing poverty. The research results show that the poverty rate in Indonesia tends to decrease from year to year. Market and banksbased industry have philosophical principles and operational bases that are integrated with social values and economic activities. Poverty will be reduced if all elements of society work together to support programs originating from the government and from other institutions, such as banking support for poverty alleviation.
