The purpose of this study is to assess the comparative financial performance between conventional and Islamic banks in Indonesia by considering factors such as profitability, liquidity, operational efficiency, and credit risk. Using a qualitative approach and literature review method from various credible sources, the results show that conventional banks tend to use ROA, ROE, CIR, and NIM as the main profitability indicators; Islamic banks also use NPF and FDR. CAR and NIM affect Islamic banks' profitability positively against ROA, while BOPO affects conventional banks' ROA negatively. In terms of liquidity, Islamic banks have an advantage due to the yield principle applied. This is indicated by the current ratio, quick ratio, money ratio, and loan-to-deposit ratio, which show their ability to meet short-term obligations better compared to conventional banks. BOPO shows the operational efficiency of Islamic banks thanks to the principles of fairness and sustainability, while conventional banks excel in revenue management from assets and investor capital. The profit-sharing system in Islamic banks lowers credit risk compared to conventional banks. Although the operating principles of the two types of banking are different, this study found that each type of banking exhibits strengths and weaknesses in terms of profitability, liquidity, efficiency, and credit risk. It is hoped that these results will aid the growth of the Indonesian banking industry and help bank management and relevant stakeholders make informed decisions.

The development of Indonesian sharia financial institutions, especially in the field of sharia banking, has increased every year, where Indonesia is in 5th place in the world. Islamic banks strive to provide convenience for their customers through digital technology-based services, but the market share of Islamic banks is lower than conventional banks. This may be caused by the low level of understanding of sharia finance, sharia financial inclusion. This research aims to analyze whether financial literacy and financial inclusion influence people's interest in saving at Islamic banks. The research results reveal that financial inclusion and financial literacy are recognized as being able to influence people's interest in saving at Islamic banks.

This article tries to raise the theme of the impact of interest (usury) on the development of sharia banking in Indonesia. In the Islamic view, interest paid by conventional banks is included in usury. The practice of usury isu haram because usury is an act that exceeds the nominal amount of the loan. This action is contrary to the teachings of the Islamic religion, Islamic teachings do not allow making additions in the wrong way which can cause injustice. The research method used is a qualitative method by collecting several materials, legal sources and other comparative research materials. This qualitative method uses a secondary approach. A secondary approach can make it easier to obtain discussions from various references and information from various literature studies. The materials and objects used are journals and books. To strengthen understanding, the author emphasizes looking for various relevant journals and various opinions of figures. The research results show that the practice of bank interest (usury) cannot be avoided in the banking industry as a financial institution and an intermediation medium between surplus units (lenders) and deficit units (borrowers). Riba is additional (ziyadah) without compensation that occurs due to delays in previously agreed payments. There are 2 types of usury which can be grouped into 2, namely debt usury and buying and selling usury. The prohibition of usury has also been regulated in several verses and authentic hadiths where a person is commanded to avoid usury because it will harm oneself and others. Overcoming this requires efforts to avoid losses due to the negative impacts it causes. As a result, it creates various economic impacts felt by society, such as gaps in economic growth.

This abstract discusses the role of market mechanisms in an Islamic perspective, as well as the implications and application of Islamic economic principles in the market system. Using the literature review method, this research collects, evaluates, and synthesizes relevant literature to gain an in-depth understanding of the topic. The results of the analysis show that markets in Islam are seen as a natural mechanism for exchanging goods and services, with prices determined by the forces of demand and supply. Islamic economic principles, such as justice, expediency, and the prohibition of usury, are the foundation for a fair and sustainable market system. Apart from that, the importance of market supervision and compliance with market ethics is also emphasized to maintain balance and fairness in economic activities. The analysis also highlights prohibitions in Islamic transactions that can cause market distortions. In addition, this abstract presents a comparison between conventional economic systems (capitalist, socialist, and mixed) with Islamic economic systems, which are based on sharia principles. Thus, this research contributes to understanding the concept of market mechanisms in Islam and formulating economic policy recommendations that are in accordance with Islamic values.    

This research aims to determine the effect of the guided discovery learning model on student learning outcomes in class 12 using a scientific approach; in this research, the researcher used 2 learning methods, one of which is the conventional method; the researcher used 2 classes as samples, where each class was 15 students in each class, was coded as class A for the control class and class B for the experimental class.

This research was carried out with the aim of finding out the effect of the Case Based Learning learning model on the ability to write explanatory text. The population of this study was all students of class XI SMA Negeri 3 Medan, totaling 6 classes. Sampling in this study was carried out randomly, so 2 classes were obtained, namely class XI MIA-2 consisting of 30 students as the experimental class and class XI MIA-5 consisting of 30 students as the control class. From the data collection and processing that has been carried out, it shows that the ability to write explanatory text in class using the conventional model obtained an average value of 67.08 and a standard deviation of 9.87. Apart from that, judging from the normality test results of the Case Based Learning learning model, the results were Lcount<Ltable, namely 0.137<0.161. Then in the conventional learning model Lcount<Ltable is 0.124<0.161. Because Lcount is smaller than Ltable, the two data above are said to be normally distributed. Likewise, from the results of the data homogeneity test, namely Fcount<Ftable, namely 0.51<0.53, the data comes from a homogeneous population. After the normality test and homogeneity test, hypothesis testing is then carried out. From hypothesis testing, the results obtained are Tcount>Ttable with hypothesis test results of 5.85>1.699, then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted so this proves that the Case Based Learning model is more influential in improving the ability to write explanatory text in class XI students at SMA Negeri 3 Medan .    

In financial and economic management activities, the term banking is often known, both conventional banking and Islamic banking. Islamic banking is a financial institution that plays an important role in managing people's funds. Islamic financial institutions generally have a variety of products offered to the public. In banking activities, there are two main functions of the bank, namely as a savings and loan institution. The purpose of this article is to discuss and analyze related to one of the Islamic bank products, namely loan products that apply the Qardh contract to Islamic financial institutions. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the Qardh contract in Indonesia is adjusted to the pillars, qardh requirements, and shigat qardh. Qardh contract can be interpreted as a loan that must be returned in the same amount with a certain pre-agreed period. In other words, Qardh is a loan without profit. If it is technically reviewed, then this loan will be given to someone or a sharia financial institution to another person who is used for emergency or urgent needs. The implementation of sharia accounting with Qardh contracts in Indonesia is guided by Law Number 21 of 2008 concerning Sharia Banking in Article 35 paragraph (1) which states that in practice sharia banking is required to implement the 5C principles, namely character, capacity, capital, condition of economy, and collateral.

Despite the progress made by Islamic banks, they still contend with the dominance of conventional banking, which implements an interest-based system. This study aims to assess the public's understanding of Islamic banking, particularly in Jakarta. Field research conducted in the capital city revealed that while people are aware of the existence of Islamic banks, their understanding of the intricacies remains limited. Many are unfamiliar with the products and services offered by Islamic banks, attributing this to a lack of information disseminated through various media channels. This study sheds light on the challenges Islamic banks face in raising public awareness and understanding.

One of the roles of technology in learning activities is to make it easier for teachers and students to access various educational resources. Technology integration in learning activities is a planned activity of using or combining technology in classroom learning activities to improve the quality of the learning process.In the era of digital transformation, conventional learning media became less practical to use.

The data collection technique uses the Test Method. The instrument used is a multiple choice test. Learning outcome data were analyzed using the Independent Sample T-test. Learning Results of experimental class students achieved good characteristics and the control class only achieved adequate characteristics. The mean post-test for the experimental class was 83.1 and the mean post-test for the control class was 74.04. The results of the Independent Sample t-test show the value of tcount = 3.363 > ttable = 1.989. Because tcount > ttable, Ho is rejected and H1 is accepted, which means that there is a significant difference in student learning outcomes between classes that take part in learning using the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model and classes that take part in conventional learning. And also the Sig value. (2-tailed) < 0.05, namely 0.001. So it can be concluded that the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model influences student learning outcomes.      

The presence of changes and improvements in transportation modes seems to bring a bad news for conventional city transportation drivers in Jakarta, because not all of them are able to adapt to these changes. The aim of this research is to determine the factors of conventional city transport drivers who persist with the conventional system and to determine the adaptation strategies carried out to survive after the presence of the Jak Lingko Microtrans. This research uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques were carried out using interviews, Focus Group Discussions, and observations. The subjects in this research were conventional city transport drivers on the T.09 route Kalisari – Pasar Rebo. The research results show that conventional transport drivers still persist with the legal system due to: 1) Age factor, 2) Regulatory barriers, 3) Incentives, 4) Community needs, and 5) Distrust of operators. Then, the strategies used by city transport drivers are 1) active strategy by utilizing their own abilities, 2) passive by minimizing expenses, and 3) Networking by utilizing relationships and relatives. So it can be concluded that conventional transport drivers still persist with the conventional system due to several obstacles ranging from internal and external and in meeting their daily needs, these drivers use adaptation strategies as an alternative step amidst the problems they face.
