ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF EDUCATION AND PRACTICUM EXPERIENCE ON ECONOMICS STUDENTS’ READINESS TO USE SHARIA BANKING PRODUCTS
Abstract
The Islamic finance industry in Indonesia has shown significant growth; however, literacy and inclusion of Islamic finance among young generations, particularly university students, remain relatively low. This study aims to analyze the influence of education and practicum experience on economics students’ readiness to use Sharia banking products. The research sample consisted of 70 Economics students from UIN Malang. A quantitative approach was employed, combining surveys and practicum experience studies. The results indicate that education plays a crucial role in establishing foundational understanding, while practicum experience enhances students’ readiness and interest in using Sharia banking products through direct interaction and hands-on experience. These findings underscore the necessity of integrating digital-based education with practical experience as a strategy to improve literacy, exposure, and adoption of Sharia banking products among young generations. The practical implications of this study include the development of literacy programs and practice-based learning initiatives to sustainably strengthen Islamic financial inclusion.
