A thematic review on research data management in citizen science projects
type: item
description: Citizen science (CS) has emerged as a globally recognized participatory approach to scientific inquiry, engaging non-professionals in data collection and analysis. As the volume and complexity of citizen-generated data grow, effective Research Data Management (RDM) becomes essential to ensure data quality, ethical governance, and long-term usability. Despite increasing attention, a gap remains in the consolidated understanding of how RDM is applied, evaluated, and discussed across diverse citizen science contexts. Therefore, this thematic review aims to explore current trends in RDM within CS projects, focusing on peer-reviewed literature published between 2021 and 2025. The study systematically searched the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases and identified 26 relevant journal articles, which were analyzed using ATLAS.ti 24. Four key themes emerged: (i) increasing emphasis on data quality assurance and validation; (ii) movement toward ethical data governance and open science alignment; (iii) integration of digital infrastructures for scalable data management; and (iv) capacity building and empowerment through data literacy and participation. These findings reveal a shift from informal, ad hoc data practices to more structured, ethical, and community-informed approaches in managing CS data. This review contributes a timely synthesis of evolving RDM practices in CS projects and offers practical implications for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. It also identifies future research opportunities, including context-specific applications, digital ethics, and inclusive frameworks for participatory data stewardship.

Exploring teachers' acceptance of phonics learning applications in preschool education: An educational psychology narrative review
type: item
description: The purpose of this narrative review is to examine the factors that contribute to teacher's acceptance of phonics applications for preschool education from an educational psychologist's viewpoint, specifically examining the factors which influence teacher's decision to accept and utilize these tools. Phonics applications are being utilized more frequently in order to support early literacy; however, acceptance of these tools by teachers varies. Factors influencing teachers' acceptance include concerns about the developmental appropriateness of technology in preschool settings, the potential for overuse of screen time during preschool, the lack of confidence among teachers in utilizing technology, and their belief in play-based pedagogy. Although there is extensive literature regarding technology acceptance, there is limited research on educational psychology factors in preschool phonics settings. As a result, a narrative review of existing empirical and theoretical literature in education, educational psychology, and educational technology databases was conducted along with a screening of reference lists. Teacher acceptance of phonics applications is a fourth-order process comprising five factors: the perceived usefulness of phonics application to teachers' teaching practices; perceived ease of use for the teachers; pedagogical beliefs concerning the phonics application and its implementation into their instructional practices; self-efficacy as a phonics application user; and emotional reaction to technology use. The ideas behind phonics apps (that they could be more engaging than traditional methods, and could allow for more personalized instruction) could be a boon in the classroom, but there still is some contention over preschool development and further long-term research is needed on these issues as well. The current review synthesizes the intersection of educational psychology and early literacy technology research by providing timely information needed by res…

The effect of transformational leadership on young lecturer innovation capacity in Shandong higher education
type: item
description: This research examines the effect of transformational leadership encompassing inspirational motivation, individualized consideration, intellectual stimulation, and idealized influence on the innovation capacity of young lecturers in higher education institutions in Shandong. Innovation capacity is examined through four dimensions includes domain-relevant skills, creativity-oriented processes, motivational drivers, and supportive environments. This study is quantitative research used questionnaire.100 Young lectures in Shandong Province involved in this study. The data collected were analyzed by descriptive statistics, correlation test and multiple regression analysis to measure the relationship between transformational leadership practices and young lecturers’ innovation capacity. Results showed that there existed a positive correlation close to 0.8 between transformation leadership and innovation ability of young lectures. The Pearson correlation coefficient was r = 0.612 (p =. 001 with a statistically significant association. This relationship is also confirmed by additional simple linear regression analysis. Innovation Capacity is predicted by transformational leadership at 37.5% (R² = 0.375) with an adjusted R² of 0.363 and a standard error of the estimate of 0.550. A good predictive relationship of R = 0.612 attests to the strong relationship exactly exhibited by this prediction. Greater perceived transformative leadership among lecturers was positively related to innovation. This report highlights the necessity for universities to implement transformational leaderships traits, such as collaboration, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration. Developing such environments has potential to provide a positive impact on the innovativeness of lecturers. These findings add to the literature on university leadership and provide actionable direction for policy-makers and academics.

Academic self‑efficacy and learning burnout as predictors of academic resilience among university students
type: item
description: Academic resilience plays a crucial role in enabling university students to adapt to academic demands, manage stress and persist in the face of challenges. Guided by a psychological and stress‑adaptation perspective, the present study examines academic self‑efficacy and learning burnout as predictors of academic resilience among university students. A quantitative, cross‑sectional research design was employed and data were collected using a structured questionnaire administered to undergraduate students. Following data screening procedures, 141 valid responses were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The findings indicate that academic self‑efficacy is strongly and positively associated with academic resilience, while learning burnout also demonstrates a positive but weaker relationship. Multiple regression results further reveal that academic self‑efficacy emerges as the strongest predictor of academic resilience, whereas learning burnout contributes significantly to a lesser extent. These findings provide empirical support for the importance of strengthening students’ academic confidence while addressing burnout experiences to enhance resilience in higher education contexts.

Enhancing aging workers’ productivity through knowledge sharing: A conceptual paper
type: item
description: The aging workforce is becoming increasingly prominent in labour‑intensive industries such as construction, where the retirement of experienced workers poses a significant risk of tacit knowledge loss. As older employees possess deep experiential and intuitive knowledge essential for productivity, safety, and operational continuity, ineffective knowledge transfer can lead to reduced organizational performance. This conceptual paper examines the behavioural determinants of knowledge‑sharing practices among aging construction workers through the lens of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). By synthesizing existing literature on knowledge sharing, aging workers, and TPB, the paper identifies how attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control shape workers’ intentions to share knowledge. A TPB‑driven conceptual framework is proposed, positioning knowledge sharing as a key predictor of aging workers’ productivity. The model offers theoretical insights into the psychological and social mechanisms influencing intergenerational knowledge transfer and highlights organizational strategies needed to foster effective knowledge‑sharing environments. This study contributes to the theoretical understanding of aging workforce dynamics and provides a foundation for future empirical research aimed at enhancing productivity through structured knowledge‑management practices.

Pengaruh amalan kepimpinan distributif terhadap komitmen organisasi
type: item
description: Dasar pendidikan yang diperkenalkan oleh kerajaan Malaysia adalah bertujuan untuk membangun modal insan negara melalui pendidikan. Oleh itu, pengetua memainkan peranan penting untuk mencapai matlamat tersebut. Selain itu, guru juga dilihat sebagai individu yang berpengaruh dalam usaha meningkatkan kualiti, pencapaian dan kecemerlangan organisasi. Bagi memahami hubungan antara dua pemboleh ubah ini, satu kajian mengenai amalan kepimpinan distributif pengetua dan komitmen organisasi guru di sekolah menengah kebangsaan telah dijalankan. Tujuan utama kajian adalah bagi mengenal pasti pengaruh kepimpinan distributif terhadap komitmen organisasi. Kajian dijalankan secara kuantitatif menggunakan soal selidik untuk mengutip data. Kajian melibatkan responden seramai 437 orang guru di sekolah menengah kebangsaan seluruh Malaysia. Dapatan kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa tahap kepimpinan distributif pengetua adalah tinggi (M=8.83; SD=0.73), manakala tahap komitmen organisasi dalam kalangan guru adalah sederhana (M=6.51; SD=1.80). Hasil analisis utama menunjukkan bahawa kepimpinan distributif pengetua merupakan faktor peramal yang signifikan terhadap peningkatan komitmen organisasi dalam kalangan guru sekolah menengah kebangsaan pada nilai (R2=0.10) dan nilai b (0.425, p<0.05). Ini menunjukkan bahawa amalan kepimpinan distributif yang berkesan dapat meningkatkan komitmen organisasi guru secara signifikan. Implikasi kajian mencadangkan supaya para pengetua terus berusaha meningkatkan amalan kepimpinan distributif kerana ia secara signifikan menyumbang kepada komitmen organisasi guru yang secara langsung akan menyumbang kepada kecemerlangan pendidikan.

Zakat on LTAT contributions: Ownership, eligibility, and implementation challenges
type: item
description: Malaysian Armed Forces personnel rely heavily on the Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT) to secure their post-service financial well-being. However, reconciling these mandatory retirement structures with the religious obligation of zakat presents a complex operational dilemma. This paper investigates the Shariah parameters and institutional frictions surrounding zakat implementation on LTAT contributions. Utilizing a qualitative exploratory design, this study expands on competing fiqh views regarding deferred wealth (mal al-dhimar) and conducts thematic analysis on in-depth interviews with key military and religious stakeholders. The findings indicate that while voluntary savings fit standard zakat frameworks seamlessly, mandatory accounts require a nuanced approach due to structural inaccessibility. To bridge this gap, the paper proposes four operational frameworks, ranging from point-of-withdrawal settlement to automated system integration via wakalah. The study concludes that successful integration demands statutory amendments, inter-agency synergy, and enhanced contributor education to prevent the socio-economic leakage of potential zakat funds.

Strategic dimensions of institutional governance in corporate zakat mobilization: A TCT perspective on network efficiencies
type: item
description: Within the contemporary Islamic economic paradigm, corporate zakat serves as a critical mechanism for wealth redistribution, capital purification, and the preservation of macroeconomic equilibrium. However, the operational capacity of this fiscal instrument remains constrained by suboptimal institutional alignment and structural compliance deficits. In the state of Kelantan, corporate contributions continuously plateau below 20% of the aggregate zakat revenue, exposing a profound gap between actual collections and fiscal potential. This conceptual paper addresses this structural deficit by constructing an integrated, multi-tiered framework of institutional governance for corporate zakat mobilization. Grounded in Transaction Cost Theory (TCT) and relational governance frameworks, we deconstruct corporate zakat governance into three distinct configurations: shared governance, lead governance, and network administrative organizations (NAOs). We posit that these structural mechanisms collectively mitigate behavioral uncertainties, minimize information asymmetries, and lower transaction monitoring costs for corporate payers (muzakki). Furthermore, the framework introduces corporate leadership quality as a vital conditional moderator that actively optimizes the path between these governance dimensions and institutional compliance. This paper contributes to the Islamic social finance literature by shifting the research paradigm from individual compliance intentions to firm-level transactional efficiencies.

Cheque-based gold transactions in Islamic law: An analysis of qabd and contemporary payment practices
type: item
description: Muslim scholars have long given serious attention to gold trading transactions in order to prevent riba (usury). With the advancement of financial technology, various payment methods have emerged in commercial practice. This study analyses scholarly opinions regarding the use of cheques as a mode of payment in gold transactions. It further examines how cheque-based payments are categorised under qabd hukmi (constructive possession) or qabd haqiqi (actual possession). Employing a qualitative research methodology, this study finds that the purchase of gold and silver using cheques is permissible, provided that the financial and legal conditions are fulfilled most notably, that sufficient funds are available in the account, thereby rendering the cheque equivalent to a recognised legal tender such as banknotes. No legal distinction is drawn between the use of ordinary cheques, certified cheques, or traveller's cheques in such transactions. Accordingly, gold trading via cheque is considered valid as it satisfies the condition of qabd (receipt/possession), provided that al-Thamaniyyah (monetary function) remains present in gold and silver jewellery. In its absence, the transaction falls under the category of bay' al-'ayn al-halah bi al-thaman al-mu'ajjal (sale of a present commodity for a deferred price). Furthermore, cheque-based gold transactions do not fall under the category of al-sarf (currency exchange), but rather under bay' al-naqd bi al-'urud (exchange of cash for goods).

Knowledge sharing and employee performance – A conceptual framework
type: item
description: This article presents an in-depth conceptual analysis of the relationship between knowledge sharing and employee performance, particularly within the context of the automotive industry. This conceptual paper explores the connection between knowledge sharing and employee performance within the automotive manufacturing industry. Although knowledge sharing has been recognized as a key driver of innovation and efficiency, its theoretical integration with performance outcomes remains underdeveloped in this sector. The study addresses this gap by proposing a framework that links individual, organizational, and technological factors influencing knowledge sharing to employee performance outcomes such as innovation, productivity, and engagement. Guided primarily by the Social Exchange Theory (SET), Resource-Based View (RBV), and the SECI Model, the framework clarifies how reciprocal trust, knowledge as a strategic resource, and dynamic knowledge conversion processes contribute to employee and organizational growth. The study contributes theoretically by simplifying multi-theory integration and practically by offering strategic guidance for automotive firms aiming to strengthen performance through knowledge sharing. The proposed model serves as a foundation for future empirical validation.

Coordinating omnichannel pricing under BOPS: The role of money-back guarantees in channel pricing decisions
type: item
description: This paper develops a three-stage Stackelberg dynamic game model to investigate pricing coordination in a decentralised Buy-Online-Pick-up-in-Store (BOPS) retail system under money-back guarantee (MBG) policies. The model incorporates two behavioural parameters, product matching rate and offline inconvenience cost, and derives closed-form equilibrium pricing solutions under both MBG and non-MBG scenarios. Comparative statics and numerical simulations are conducted to examine how these behavioural factors and a platform-provided per-order subsidy influence online retail price, offline retail price, and wholesale price. The results show that a higher product matching rate generally strengthens pricing power across channels, while the pricing effect of MBG depends on the interaction between product-fit uncertainty and offline inconvenience cost. MBG can stabilise the online retailer’s pricing response under different offline inconvenience conditions, but it may also create asymmetric pricing incentives between online and offline channels. These findings contribute to the literature on dynamic games and omnichannel retail operations by linking refund policy design with strategic pricing coordination in BOPS systems.

Corporate zakat payment: A systematic literature review and bibliometric architecture (2010–2026)
type: item
description: Corporate zakat payment represents a vital nexus between modern corporate governance and classical Islamic social finance, acting as an institutionalized mechanism for capital redistribution, poverty alleviation, and socio-economic justice. As business landscapes evolve, the literature tracking corporate zakat compliance, disclosure, and technological integration has proliferated extensively. This study presents a comprehensive systematic literature review (SLR) and bibliometric architecture of corporate zakat payment research indexed in the Scopus database from 2010 to 2026. Employing rigorous evaluative metrics and relational science mapping through a refined dataset of 415 scientific publications, this paper analyzes annual output trajectories, influential publishing outlets, prominent geographic contributors, and co-occurrence keyword networks. The analytical findings reveal an aggressive expansion in publication momentum post-2018, with Malaysia and Indonesia cementing undisputed intellectual leadership in the ASEAN region. The synthesized keyword networks expose a strategic evolutionary paradigm shift: progressing from foundational jurisprudence into structured corporate compliance behaviors, institutional governance frameworks, and cutting-edge digital transformations (including fintech, artificial intelligence, and blockchain-enabled smart contracts) aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper provides critical theoretical and practical guideposts for Islamic finance scholars, institutional managers, and regulatory policy architects to map current research frontiers and navigate future empirical directions.

Impact of career social support on employability among university students in Shandong, China
type: item
description: This study investigates the impact of career social support including encouragement from family, friends, and teachers, helps with career decision-making, reduces anxiety about the future and builds confidence through guidance. Employability including ability to secure and retain employment involves skills, attitude, and adaptability, influenced by education and experience and essential for career success. The study utilised a quantitative methodology, employing a structured survey administered to 100 university students in Shandong province. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression are used to identify how career social support affects employability outcomes. The correlation results showed that there is a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.487, p = 0.001) between career social support and employability among university students. This indicates that students who receive greater support from family, peers, and educators are likely to view themselves as more employable. Also, regression analysis shows that career social support accounts for 23.7% of the difference in employability (R² = 0.237), with an adjusted R² of 0.229 and a standard error of 0.278. This means that social support is a useful way to predict employability outcomes. The study emphasises the necessity of integrating career support systems into higher education to enhance graduates' employability. Family, friends, and teachers all help students feel more confident about getting and keeping a job. These findings underscore the necessity for universities to establish organised and supportive environments that foster student adaptability, self-confidence, and career preparedness. These findings enhance the literature on educational leadership and provide pragmatic guidance for policymakers and university administrators.

Productive waqf management of Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor for education
type: item
description: Waqf plays a vital role in supporting socio-economic development, particularly in education. This study analyzes the management of productive waqf at Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor and its contribution to institutional sustainability, Governance Theory, and Sustainable Development Theory. The findings indicate that Gontor has implemented a Holistic Waqf system supported by a professional governance structure involving the Waqf Board and YPPWPM. Waqf assets are developed into diverse business units that generate sustainable income to finance education, support teacher welfare, and ensure institutional continuity. This model reflects strong accountability, value-based governance, and long-term financial independence. However, replicating this model in other institutions remain challenging due to differences in leadership capacity, organizational culture and initial asset availability. This study contributes by offering an integrated theorical perspective in analysing waqf based educational institutions which remains limited in existing literature.

Enhancing Muslim-friendly tourism in Australia: Opportunities, challenges, and future directions
type: item
description: largely untapped market, attracting the attention of both OIC and non-OIC countries. This paper will be looking at the evolution of Muslim-Friendly Tourism (MFT) in Australia, especially in terms of governance systems, perceptions of stakeholders, and future strategic aspects. A qualitative interpretivist design was adopted in which 15 semi-structured expert interviews were carried out in New South Wales and Queensland among policymakers, industry representatives, academicians and international Muslim travel experts. It indicates that MFT has strong awareness of this as a high-growth economic segment, but the conceptual vagueness and fragmentation of governance limit its strategic integration. In addition to the provision of the services, cultural safety proved to be an important factor of Muslim traveller experience This study contributes to the development of the body of knowledge on Muslim-friendly tourism in a non-OIC setting and offers recommendations regarding the development of the Australian global competitiveness based on evidence.

Hubungan bimbingan instruksional dengan kualiti pengajaran duta guru: Satu kajian rintis
type: item
description: Kajian rintis ini dijalankan untuk meneliti hubungan antara bimbingan instruksional oleh pegawai School Improvement Specialist Coaches (SISC+) dengan kualiti pengajaran guru duta guru. Reka bentuk kajian berbentuk kuantitatif dengan menggunakan analisis korelasi Pearson. Seramai 200 orang responden terlibat dalam kajian ini. Dapatan analisis menunjukkan terdapat hubungan positif yang signifikan antara bimbingan instruksional dan kualiti pengajaran (r = .423, p < 0.01). Kekuatan hubungan adalah pada tahap sederhana, menunjukkan bahawa semakin tinggi bimbingan instruksional diterima, semakin meningkat kualiti pengajaran guru. Walau bagaimanapun, hubungan sederhana ini berkemungkinan dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain seperti kesediaan guru, komitmen profesional, program pembangunan profesionalisme berimpak tinggi serta sokongan daripada pihak pentadbir sekolah. Perbincangan dapatan menunjukkan penemuan ini selari dengan beberapa kajian lepas yang membuktikan wujudnya hubungan signifikan antara bimbingan instruksional dan kualiti pengajaran, walaupun tahap kekuatan hubungan berbeza-beza. Kajian luar negara turut menegaskan peranan penting pembimbing instruksional dalam meningkatkan kualiti pengajaran, namun terdapat juga dapatan yang bercanggah dengan menunjukkan hubungan negatif atau tiada perbezaan ketara. Justeru, kajian ini mencadangkan agar kajian sebenar mempertimbangkan pemboleh ubah lain seperti motivasi guru, komitmen profesional, kesejahteraan kerja, serta sokongan komuniti sekolah dalam kerangka konseptual bagi memperoleh gambaran yang lebih menyeluruh terhadap faktor yang mempengaruhi kualiti pengajaran guru.

Penggunaan aplikasi Kahoot dalam pembentukan nilai patriotisme murid sekolah rendah: Satu ulasan naratif (2020–2026)
type: item
description: Kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti penggunaan aplikasi Kahoot dalam meningkatkan nilai Kajian ini bertujuan mensintesis dapatan literatur berkaitan penggunaan aplikasi Kahoot dalam pembentukan nilai patriotisme dalam kalangan murid sekolah rendah melalui pendekatan ulasan naratif bagi tempoh 2020 hingga 2026. Dalam era pendidikan abad ke-21 yang menekankan integrasi teknologi digital, gamifikasi dilihat sebagai pendekatan pedagogi yang berpotensi dalam meningkatkan penglibatan, motivasi dan pengalaman pembelajaran murid. Walau bagaimanapun, peranannya dalam pembentukan nilai, khususnya patriotisme, masih kurang diterokai secara sistematik dalam literatur sedia ada. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan ulasan naratif dengan menganalisis sumber daripada pelbagai pangkalan data akademik yang merangkumi kajian antarabangsa dan tempatan. Analisis dilakukan secara tematik bagi mengenal pasti pola, trend serta jurang kajian berkaitan penggunaan Kahoot dalam pendidikan. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa penggunaan Kahoot secara konsisten meningkatkan penglibatan murid melalui interaksi masa nyata, merangsang motivasi pembelajaran melalui elemen cabaran dan ganjaran, serta menyokong pencapaian akademik melalui maklum balas segera dan pengulangan interaktif. Selain itu, gamifikasi didapati berpotensi menyokong pembelajaran aktif dan kolaboratif. Walau bagaimanapun, analisis turut menunjukkan bahawa kebanyakan kajian memberi tumpuan kepada aspek kognitif dan motivasi, manakala aspek afektif khususnya pembentukan nilai patriotisme masih kurang diberi perhatian. Bukti empirikal yang menghubungkan secara langsung penggunaan Kahoot dengan pembentukan nilai patriotisme didapati terhad dan tidak sistematik. Oleh itu, kajian ini mencadangkan keperluan untuk membangunkan model pedagogi gamifikasi berasaskan nilai yang mengintegrasikan elemen pengalaman, emosi dan refleksi dalam pembelajaran. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini menyumbang kepada pengembangan ilmu d…

Peranan Lembaga Zakat Selangor dalam membimbing mualaf melalui modul bersepadu Baitus Salam
type: item
description: Mualaf merupakan golongan yang memerlukan perhatian khusus selepas memeluk agama Islam kerana mereka sering berhadapan dengan pelbagai cabaran, khususnya dari aspek akidah, emosi, sosial dan ekonomi. Di Negeri Selangor, Lembaga Zakat Selangor memainkan peranan penting dalam membimbing dan melindungi mualaf melalui penubuhan Baitus Salam sebagai pusat perlindungan dan pendidikan khusus kepada saudara baharu. Walaupun pelbagai kajian berkaitan pengurusan dan pembangunan mualaf telah dijalankan, namun penelitian terhadap peranan Modul Bersepadu Baitus Salam dalam memperkukuh penghayatan Islam mualaf masih kurang dibincangkan secara khusus. Sehubungan itu, artikel ini membincangkan peranan LZS dalam membimbing mualaf melalui pelaksanaan Modul Bersepadu Baitus Salam yang diperkenalkan pada tahun 2022. Modul ini dibangunkan bagi memperkukuh kefahaman agama, penghayatan Islam, pembangunan sahsiah serta kemahiran hidup mualaf secara holistik. Artikel ini menggunakan pendekatan kajian kualitatif melalui kaedah kajian kepustakaan dengan merujuk kepada dokumen rasmi, artikel akademik dan kajian-kajian lepas berkaitan pengurusan mualaf di Malaysia. Data dianalisis menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan secara tematik. Analisis kajian menunjukkan bahawa Modul Bersepadu Baitus Salam berperanan penting dalam membantu mualaf menyesuaikan diri sebagai Muslim baharu melalui pendekatan pembangunan ilmu, pengurusan diri, kepimpinan dan kemahiran kerjaya secara lebih sistematik dan holistik. Walau bagaimanapun, beberapa cabaran masih wujud, khususnya dalam memastikan keberkesanan pelaksanaan modul secara berterusan. Oleh itu, penambahbaikan terhadap sistem bimbingan dan sokongan kepada mualaf perlu diberi perhatian bagi memastikan golongan ini dapat menghayati Islam secara menyeluruh serta terus berpegang teguh kepada ajaran Islam dalam kehidupan.

Constructing a digital shield: A systematic review of mobile learning interventions for cyberbullying prevention towards primary school education
type: item
description: Purpose: This study addresses a critical gap in the educational body of knowledge concerning the prevention of cyberbullying among the primary school students (aged 9-12). While the traditional bullying has been extensively studied, the increasing exposure of younger children to the online aggression has outpaced the development of the effective pedagogical interventions. Methodology: guided by Park’s Pedagogical Framework for Mobile Learning, this study employs a conceptual analysis to examine the effectiveness of the gamified mobile learning applications in enhancing students’ digital safety knowledge. Selected interventions, including Google Interland and Common Sense Media’s Digital Passport, were analysed in terms of pedagogical structure, learner engagement, and social interaction. Findings: The analysis reveals that while current applications effectively support structured knowledge and digital citizenship awareness, their high transactional distance and individualized design offer limited avenues for collaborative reflection and interpersonal interaction. This structural imbalance highlights a critical empathy gap where learners successfully acquire theoretical knowledge about cyberbullying but lack the pedagogical and dialogic support needed to internalise socio-emotional skills for sustainable behavioural change. Significance:this study proposes a strategic framework for integrating the gamified mobile learning into primary school curriculum to address these limitations. The findings contribute to the advancement of the educational body of knowledge by highlighting the importance of mobile-mediated, game-based interventions in equipping young learners with the competencies that required to navigate and respond to cyberbullying.

An empirical analysis of current zakat collection structures: Implications for the socioeconomic sustainability of the Ummah
type: item
description: Zakat, as a dynamic Islamic fiscal instrument, plays a critical role in bridging global socioeconomic disparities. This study analyzes the contemporary portfolio structure of zakat collections based on empirical institutional data to assess the most dominant instruments and their implications for sustainable distribution management. Relying on visual composite data from MAIK Dashboard 2026, the findings indicate significant diversification within zakat fund pools. Income Zakat emerges as the largest contributor, closely followed by Business Zakat (RM18,967,776.88) and Zakat Fitrah (RM16,476,878.00). Secondary components such as Zakat on Savings, Shares, Gold/Silver, and Agriculture construct a diversified asset portfolio that solidifies institutional capacity for capital mobilization. Employing a descriptive substantive analysis framework, this study discusses methods to enhance collection via the digitalization of corporate instruments and the application of rigorous governance structures to maximize distribution impact across the eight asnaf groups. The study concludes that integrating financial automation technologies and reforming assessment policies will expand zakat fund spillover effects to achieve inclusive distributive justice.
