Purpose:The study is an attempt to elaborate on students' development explicitly, understanding and practices of Islamic Moderation Personality (IMP) in Malaysian Higher Learning Institution (MHLI). The measurement of the development of their understanding, especially in term of its representation of IMP is underlined. Based on this measurement, personal conceptual beliefs, understanding principles in life and the manifestation of IMP able to make a person different compared to others. In this article, the cause of differences is measured bycomparing the intensity of IM practices and the manifestation types and patterns.Methodology:The method used in this study is a quantitative methodology, and by using the questionnaires, the survey has been conducted to 508 respondents in six MHLIs. Thedata analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modelling(SEM) method with the help of AMOS software version 23.Results:The survey administered to the students of MHLI showed a higher level of IMP manifestation expressed by their self-conceptual understanding and attitudinal paradigm through attitude to Allah SWT, attitude to own-self, and attitude to others. These strongly contributed to self-satisfaction personality in achieving awareness, perfection, and reasonable state of balanced and robust willingness. Simultaneously, item practices acted as a mediator between Islamic moderation conceptual paradigm and its manifestation practices. Implications:The finding provides a foundation for further research in IMP manifestation, both as a general principle in life and specific domains such as religion, education, and socialization practices.Hence, IM as a complete balanced system in life should be adopted and practiced accurately and precisely according to the revelation sources

This article underlines the fact that Malaysian Higher Learning Institutions (MHLI) are seriously geared in approaching its academic excellence status, becoming an international education hub attracting students from different parts of the world by offering a comprehensive list of programmes and specialisation. This is due to the fact that knowledge is viewed today as the most important factor in realizing actual growth, creating new values and advantages in a globalized economy. The focus here is on the important of knowledge management (KM) practices within MHLI with the argument that academic institutions should always manage knowledge properly and effectively to allow them to succeed and flourish. However, there is uncertainty about whether the use of KM can be competitive in which it is capable of helping the institution’s approaches and strategies to obtain the quality of education mentioned. This justifies the aim of the present study to review the KM practices in MHLI in order to highlight the functional features of its application. The method applied here is purely qualitative whereby five selected cases were viewed and analysed in identifying the KM elements that had been practiced by the institutions under study. The findings of the study indicate that KM practices in MHLI have not yet become formative and capable of standing alone without unwavering support from the top management. There is a need to create a formative standard of KM practices in MHLI to enable a systematic realignment of practices within their infrastructure and strategic activities.

Disepanjang sejarah kemanusian, ilmu-pengetahuan sentiasa dianalisa daripada pelbagai pespektif dan bidang kehidupan manusia. Kajian ini merupakan satu percubaan untuk memaparkan satu bentuk pertautan yang irat antara “Pengurusan Ilmu-pengetahuan yang Islamik” (PII) dangan usaha yang realistik lagi amali dalam menjayakan program “Pembangunan Ekonomi Islam Mampan” (PEIM) terutamanya dalam mendepani cabaran globalisasi semasa. Kita sedar, hasil daripada kesungguhan umat Islam dalam amalan perekonomian berhimah maka ekonomi Islam bukan lagi sesuatu yang asing dalam perekonomian dunia hari ini. Hakikat ini menimbulkan pelbagai persoalan yang menarik terutamanya dikalangan umat Islam itu sendiri. Apakah yang dikatakan sebagai ekonomi Islam, apa perluanya, kenapa dan bagaimana ianya boleh mencapai kemampanan?” Jawapan kepada persoalan-persoalan ini adalah bersandarkan kepada penganalisaan sumber-sumber teks Islam yang utama seperti Quran al-Karim dan juga Hadith Nabi (saw) dapat membantu umat Islam membangunkan ekonomi mereka kearah yang lebih kukuh lagi terancang.

The growth of Higher Learning Education System (HLES) in Southeast Asia is dynamic and exuberant in a sense that it encourage the universities to perform in a standard quality that is at par with international standards. Higher Learning Education System (HLES) is managed dynamically as to produce young capable intellectual to contribute and involve in the growth of the country. HLES overall performances are measured through its competent on various aspects of such the quality of teaching and learning, students, programs, graduates, resources, and governance. To produce a balanced guided HLES, it should embrace the moderation of Wasatiyyah as to uphold the Islamic entity and dignity mainly applied to the Islamic HLES (IHLES). Whereas IHLES should be guided on strong Islamic principles to uphold its Islamic synergy and direction, it should tie to the basis of Islamic belief and understanding that able to push to the excellent IHLES. The excellent performance should be balanced and moderate in accordance to the Islamic teaching that stated in the Quran and Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. This paper is to high light the components of a balanced and moderate in managing the IHLES from the embedment of the Islamic Moderation (Wasatiyyah) (IMW) conceptual application and its need as an essential input. The components of IMW that are the Operational Functionality (OF), Practices Effectiveness (PE), Attitudinal Paradigm (AP), Representation Personality (RP) and Cognitive nderstanding (CU); provide a comprehensive balanced and moderate IHLES in achieving the excellent as knowledge provider to the nation.

Purpose of the Study: This article focus on the postgraduate curriculum (PGC) which describes the nature of the educational process, system, level, activities and strategies within the contemporary context of globalisation according to knowledge management practices (KMP). It starts from a problem that might be seen as a contradiction between the structured natures of knowledge within a specialization compared to the arbitrary nature of globalization perception. Methodology: This study is a conceptual study based on literature and theoretical discourse which aims at describing a conceptual framework on PGC within the contemporary globalised world. Two selected postgraduate curriculum educational framework was chosen as a sample for review to meet the methodological application. While KMP, in this context, is a tool in assessing and bridging the real situation with the globalisation setting. Main Findings: The identification of knowledge attributes is vital due to the dynamic nature of knowledge development and creation. With the presence of those attributes as a fundamental principle, its unification and harmonisation can be applied to sound and enduring postgraduate programs. Knowledge attribute unification model lead its learners toward productivities or application of usage, while unification lead them toward knowledge maturity, dynamic and growth. PGC’s global knowledge harmonisation model requires knowledge of the current status that in track with future trends of knowledge development which can be adapted and adopted according to the needs and conditions that indirectly creates knowledge impact on the industries and societies. Novelty of the Study: This study exhibited on the evolution of the PGC within the contemporary needs and requirements as a result of different factors like contemporary social problems, knowledge attribute and structures. Hence, PGC’s global knowledge harmonisation model suggest a suitable postgraduate curriculum with the unification of knowledge management practices embed with the globalisation elements.
