Abstract

The rapid expansion of the Sharia financial industry has intensified the need for graduates who are not only grounded in the epistemological foundations of Islamic Economics but also equipped with professional competencies relevant to contemporary financial practices. Despite significant growth in Islamic finance, a persistent gap remains between academic instruction and industry expectations, particularly in areas of applied analytical skills, curriculum responsiveness, and institutional collaboration. This study explores how learning and teaching in Islamic Economics can more effectively bridge academic knowledge and professional practice. Employing a qualitative exploratory approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews and document analysis involving academic stakeholders and industry-related informants. Thematic analysis identified six interconnected dimensions influencing educational effectiveness: integration between economic theory and fiqh al-muamalat, competency-oriented curriculum alignment, experiential and practice-based pedagogy, balanced institutional governance, strategic industry partnerships, and data-informed quality enhancement. The findings indicate that fragmented instructional design, limited experiential exposure, and structural workload constraints hinder the preparation of industry-ready graduates. Conversely, coherent epistemological integration and sustained collaboration with industry actors enhance both professional readiness and adherence to Sharia principles. The study underscores the importance of systemic transformation rather than incremental reform, emphasizing the need for adaptive curricula, immersive learning environments, and collaborative knowledge ecosystems. Strengthening these dimensions is essential to ensure that Islamic Economics education remains ethically grounded, professionally relevant, and capable of responding to ongoing innovation within the global Sharia financial landscape.

Abstract

The rapid growth of Islamic financial institutions has not been accompanied by an equivalent increase in Islamic economic literacy, particularly among young learners. This gap reflects a critical issue where individuals possess basic knowledge of Sharia principles but lack the ability to apply them in real financial decision-making. Therefore, this study aims to develop a comprehensive framework for enhancing Islamic economic literacy through Islamic education by integrating contextual and evaluation-based approaches. This study employs a qualitative research design using a systematic literature review. Data were collected from peer-reviewed journal articles, academic books, and official reports indexed in reputable databases such as Scopus and Google Scholar. The inclusion criteria focused on studies related to Islamic economic literacy, contextual learning, and evaluation-based education published within the last ten years. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key patterns, relationships, and research gaps. The findings indicate that Islamic economic literacy remains largely conceptual and has not been fully internalized into practical financial behavior. The implementation of contextual learning significantly improves learners’ understanding by linking Islamic economic principles to real-life situations. In addition, evaluation-based strategies such as reflective and performance-based assessments play a crucial role in strengthening behavioral transformation and ensuring the sustainability of literacy outcomes. This study contributes by proposing an integrative educational framework that bridges the gap between knowledge and practice through contextual relevance and continuous evaluation. The novelty lies in its multidimensional approach, emphasizing the integration of cognitive, behavioral, and ethical aspects within Islamic economic education.

Abstract

Indonesia’s multicultural society presents significant challenges and opportunities for strengthening religious moderation within educational environments. Increasing cases of intolerance, social polarization, and interreligious conflict indicate the urgent need for inclusive and diversity-responsive educational approaches. This study aims to analyze the role of teachers in enhancing religious moderation through Problem-Based Multicultural Education. The research employed a qualitative approach using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) design. Data were collected from peer-reviewed articles indexed in Scopus, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and other academic databases published between 2019 and 2026. The review process followed identification, screening, eligibility, thematic analysis, and synthesis stages based on PRISMA guidelines. A total of 48 relevant studies were selected and analyzed comprehensively. The findings revealed that 91% of the reviewed studies emphasized teachers’ strategic roles in fostering tolerance, inclusiveness, empathy, and democratic values within multicultural classrooms. Approximately 87% of the studies also demonstrated that Problem-Based Multicultural Education effectively improves students’ critical thinking, collaborative learning, and peaceful coexistence in diverse social contexts. The study further identified that contextual learning activities based on real social problems significantly contribute to strengthening religious moderation and reducing discriminatory attitudes among students. The study concludes that integrating teachers’ pedagogical competence, multicultural awareness, and problem-based learning provides an effective educational framework for developing harmonious and inclusive learning environments in pluralistic societies.
