The Transformation from Sociopreneurship to Sufipreneurship: A Conceptual Framework for Spiritualizing the Entrepreneurial Sphere in Contemporary Islam
This study aims to formulate and develop a new conceptual framework called sufipreneurship, as a response to the spiritual void within contemporary Islamic entrepreneurship models. By integrating a conceptual-philosophical approach and Sufi hermeneutics, sufipreneurship offers an entrepreneurial paradigm that incorporates core Sufi values—ikhlas (sincerity), zuhud (asceticism), tawakkul (trust in God), khidmah (service), and muraqabah (divine awareness)—into business practices that are spiritual, social, and ethical in nature. This concept not only expands the epistemology of Islamic entrepreneurship but also provides a normative critique of the secular capitalist model, which desacralizes the meaning of work and reduces it to mere profit maximization. The study employs a literature-based research method combined with data triangulation from classical and contemporary sources, along with field observations from Sufi communities (ṭarīqa). The findings suggest that sufipreneurship presents a relevant and practical alternative for addressing the ethical and spiritual crises within the Muslim business world. The implications of this research include the development of a Sufi-based entrepreneurship curriculum, policy recommendations for spiritually grounded Islamic economic empowerment programs, and strategic collaborations between religious institutions (ṭarīqa) and Islamic economic sectors. Hence, sufipreneurship offers a business framework that is maṣlaḥah-oriented, sustainable, and deeply rooted in Islamic spirituality. Keywords: Sufipreneurship, Sociopreneurship, Spiritual Entrepreneurship, Business Ethics, Contemporary Islam.

APPLICATION OF PIAGET'S THEORY IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
The application of Jean Piaget's cognitive development theory in early childhood education curriculum development plays an important role in creating learning programmes that are appropriate to children's developmental stages. Piaget's theory, which identifies sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational and formal operational stages, offers guidance for educators to design appropriate educational activities that support children in each stage of development. Learning through direct experience and play activities, in accordance with Piaget's principles, allows children to learn through interaction with their environment, reinforcing understanding and skills naturally. This approach not only makes the learning process more interesting and relevant for children, but also ensures that the concepts taught are appropriate for their cognitive abilities. The implementation of Piaget's theory in the curriculum also emphasises the early development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which are important for intellectual development and readiness to face future challenges. Thus, Piaget's theory contributes significantly to shaping a curriculum that is adaptive, child-centred and effective in supporting children's holistic development early in their educational journey.

This study used a research and development (R&D) method adapted from Borg & Gall. The subjects of the study consisted of 128 elementary school teacher education students involved in learning planning for elementary schools. The study results show that project-oriented TPACK-based teaching materials are valid, practical, and effective. Experts have confirmed that the teaching materials are valid in construction and content. In addition, observations of increasing student activity at each meeting indicate that the teaching materials are applied practically in learning planning. The students' creative thinking skills test results show that these teaching materials effectively improve the creative thinking skills of prospective teachers. This study implies that using the proper method can improve students' creative thinking skills to design various alternative solutions to problem-solving in learning. This study suggests further developing project-oriented TPACK-based teaching materials for elementary school students.

UTILISATION OF VIRTUAL REALITY (VR) AND AUGMENTED REALITY (AR) IN EDUCATION: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW
This research explores the utilisation of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies in education through a comprehensive review. VR and AR technologies offer innovative ways to create immersive and interactive learning experiences, enabling students to better understand complex concepts. The study identifies key benefits of VR and AR in education, including increased student engagement and motivation, as well as the provision of practical, real-life learning environments that are difficult to achieve with traditional methods. However, the study also highlights significant challenges that need to be overcome, such as high costs, technical infrastructure needs, and specialised training requirements for educators. Thus, the conclusions of this study emphasise the importance of careful planning and proper support to maximise the potential of VR and AR as transformational tools in education.
