The impact of Peer-Based Teaching Techniques on Students in Muamalat Administration Programme: A Study on Islamic Economics Subject

Abstract

One effective approach for peer-based teaching is to organise collaborative learning activities that encourage students to actively engage with the course material. This could involve group discussions, collaborative projects, and peer-led presentations. Students can obtain a greater understanding of the subject and build critical thinking skills by collaborating to study and analyse Islamic economic ideas in creative ways. This paper will explore the possible method among peer students of Muamalat Administration programme in learning the subject of Islamic Economics in the Faculty of Economics and Muamalat, USIM to foster creativity and active participation in the learning process. The study identifies three effective techniques: Creative Sketch, Nike Swoosh Curve, and Acronym Peer-Based Teaching. Creative Sketch Peer-Based Teaching Technique is the most effective overall with the highest average improvement and consistent strong performance across a range of questions. Nike Swoosh Curve Peer-Based Teaching Technique shows significant improvement in specific areas. but is less consistent across all questions. Acronym Peer-Based Teaching Technique provides substantial improvements in retention and recall for specific questions, making it a valuable method for targeted content enhancement. Overall, by creating a collaborative and interactive learning environment, peer students can gain a better understanding of Islamic economics while also developing their creativity in applying its principles to real-world settings.
