Abstract

This qualitative study explores the rise of viral beverage brands Mixue (China) and Ai-Cha (Indonesia) among Malaysian Muslim consumers, focusing on the implications of their uncertified halal status. Despite Malaysia’s comprehensive halal certification system governed by JAKIM, many consumers—especially youth—exhibit limited awareness and verification practices regarding halal compliance. This study aims to assess halal literacy, identify behavioral gaps, and propose educational strategies to address syubhah (doubtful) consumption. Using document-based content analysis of official guidelines (MS1500:2019), Islamic jurisprudence, media discourse, and consumer behavior literature, findings indicate that brand aesthetics, social media influence, and pricing often outweigh religious considerations. The results underscore an attitude-behavior gap, where consumers affirm halal values but do not consistently act on them. The study concludes that enhanced formal and informal halal education, particularly among youth, is critical to strengthening faith-aligned consumption. Recommendations include multi-platform public outreach and curriculum integration to foster informed, ethical, and faith-conscious consumer behavior.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between students’ digital literacy and their understanding of Islamic values in the context of AI-based learning at SMK Farmatikom Pekanbaru. Conducted in August 2025 with 121 student respondents, the research explores how digital competencies influence religious comprehension as learning environments increasingly integrate artificial intelligence. A quantitative approach was employed using a correlational survey design. Digital literacy and understanding of Islamic values were measured using validated Likert-scale instruments, and the data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression techniques. The results indicate that students’ digital literacy levels fell into the medium-to-high category, and a significant positive correlation was found between digital literacy and understanding of Islamic values. Multiple regression analysis further revealed that digital literacy significantly predicted students' understanding of religion within AI-supported learning platforms. These findings suggest that strengthening digital literacy can enhance students’ ability to interpret, evaluate, and apply Islamic values in technologically advanced learning environments. The study highlights the importance of integrating value-based digital education to support both cognitive and moral development among vocational high school students.

Abstract

This study reviews the effectiveness of Direct Instruction in enhancing Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) during the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in secondary schools in Pekanbaru. The research was conducted from August to December 2025 using a quantitative quasi-experimental design involving 128 students divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received Direct Instruction integrated with HOTS-oriented tasks, while the control group experienced conventional instruction. Data were collected through validated HOTS assessment instruments covering analysis, evaluation, and creation domains. Statistical analysis used independent-samples t-tests and effect-size analysis. The results showed that the experimental group achieved a significantly higher mean score (M = 84.67, SD = 6.21) than the control group (M = 76.14, SD = 7.03), with t(126) = 7.18, p < .05, and a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 0.87). The evidence suggests that structured explanation, guided practice, and immediate feedback effectively support students’ analytical reasoning and analytical problem-solving skills in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. The findings also suggest that explicit instructional approaches remain compatible with Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)-oriented learning when combined with cognitively demanding activities and systematic instructional scaffolding.
