This research aims to analyze the synergy between Badan Amil Zakat Nasional (Baznas) and Badan Wakaf Indonesia (BWI) and to examine the obstacles and impact of synergy between both. Baznas and BWI are the two government agencies tasked with managing the muslim community assets; Baznas is tasked with collecting and utilizing zakat, while BWI is responsible for managing waqf assets. The zakat funds collected by Baznas are relatively large, but many have not been distributed. On the other hand, BWI has many waqf assets but does not have the funds to make them productive. Based on the strengths and weaknesses of each, cooperation between the two is crucial to be strengthened. This article is a qualitative research with a normative-empirical approach. The results of the research show that the synergy between the two is held in communication and coordination. The obstacles to synergy are related to funding for asset development, nazir's professionalism, lack of legalization of waqf assets. The synergy between Baznas and BWI has not had a significant impact on the development of productive waqf assets in the Central Java province. If both work together synergistically, they can generate a more beneficial and productive waqf for the ummah, as seen in the case of the Johar Market relocation and the establishment of healthcare services in the form of hospitals for the benefit of the community. This article complements the theme around the importance of synergy between waqf institutions so that the benefits of waqf and the sustainability of its management can run optimally, just as the commitment of both institutions to financial reporting is important, making nazir more professional can be achieved by providing training and establishing partnerships with other, more competent institutions.

This study investigates the impact of adaptive assessment tools on student learning outcomes, engagement and knowledge retention compared to traditional assessment methods. The research employs a descriptive survey design, utilising a quantitative research approach to gather data from 200 students across various educational settings in Kwara State, Nigeria. The primary research questions explore how adaptive assessments influence knowledge retention, engagement levels and the identification of areas needing additional support. By focusing exclusively on students as respondents, the study reliable data that elucidates the effectiveness of adaptive assessments in enhancing knowledge retention and engagement within educational settings. The findings reveal that adaptive assessments significantly enhance knowledge retention, as indicated by mean scores above the established cut-off point of 3.0 across all survey items. Students reported high levels of engagement, motivation and clarity regarding their learning needs when using adaptive tools. In contrast, traditional assessments received notably lower scores, suggesting limited effectiveness in fostering positive learning experiences. The study concludes that adaptive assessment tools provide a more personalised and effective approach to student learning, leading to improved outcomes in both knowledge retention and engagement. It is recommended that educators integrate adaptive assessments into their curricula to maximise student learning potential. Policymakers should consider supporting the implementation of adaptive technologies in educational institutions to enhance the overall learning experience. The research contributes to the theoretical understanding of personalised learning approaches and offers empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of adaptive assessments in contemporary education.
