Abstract

This article looks at how the Rasch-Wright map can be used to see how well students understand Islamic economics. This is why the Exit Survey Test (EST) questionnaire was made. 104 second-year Islamic Banking students at UiTM Puncak Alam, Selangor, took a 12-item Exit Survey Test (EST) that was split into four main parts: general concepts, theoretical foundations, microeconomics, and macroeconomics. The Rasch model analysis showed that the EST was very reliable, with item reliability at +0.73 and person reliability at +0.96. This showed that the EST was good at telling the difference between students' cognitive abilities. The Wright map clearly showed how well students understood concepts by showing which items were easy and which were hard and where each student stood on a competence continuum. The findings indicate that while students exhibited proficiency in practical domains such as Islamic microeconomics, they encountered difficulties with the theoretical frameworks and foundational concepts of Islamic economics. The Rasch Wright map is a helpful psychometric tool for Islamic education that gives detailed information for improving lessons and developing new ones. This study enhances the literature by combining psychometric mapping and statistical testing, providing a holistic methodology for evaluating conceptual comprehension in Islamic economics.
