Integration of Science and Religion in Value Education

Abstract

The study aims to describe a value education model in teaching the integration of science and religion and to find out the values generated in the learning process of the integration of science and religion. Education is a major factor in shaping the human personality through the learning process that takes place in schools and in society. These educational goals can be done by providing scientific and religious materials to create the potential of students. Indeed, religious values will guide science and technology that are increasingly developing in the world. Therefore, the integration of science and religion in schools is very important to be taught, so that both of sciences and religions balance each other. This qualitative-naturalistic research used interview, observation, and documentation as the data collection techniques. The results of this study show that (1) the integrative model will facilitate and make learning more meaningful and efficient, so that the teaching and learning process will produce integrated knowledge; (2) through the integration of science and religion, the learning process is more directed which can sharpen the mind; (3) the learning material combining science and religion is the main instrument for realizing learning objectives; (4) the learning strategy integrating science and religion has a good effect on student and teacher interactions during the learning process; (5) the values developed in the integration of science and religion are the value of belief in Allah, being religious, and intelligent.

The practice of science and religion integration: Evidence from an Indonesian Islamic school

“…The second research question (RQ2), do students who are taught with an integrated pattern all have higher learning outcomes scores than students who are taught with an integrated pattern of only learning material? In summary, we expect that highly qualified teachers pursuing a holistic integration pattern will support students in improving their learning outcomes and skills (Ningsih et al, 2022;Wulan et al, 2021). Furthermore, this effort will provide an instructional context that helps students develop religious attitudes and other relevant skills (Alam & Rachmadhani, 2021;Fahyuni et al, 2020;.…”

Science learning STEM-R approach: A study of students' reflective and critical thinking

“…Historically, a perception emerged during the 13th century that propagated the separation of science from religion, resulting in a stigma that the two were unrelated in the realm of education. This notion of educational epistemology advocated for secularism and a disconnect between science and religion [10], [11].…”

Student Worksheets Based on STEM Integrated Inquiry Based Learning: Needs Analysis

“…Science learning can also be carried out effectively by using learning models or methods. The learning model as a conceptual framework compiled with systematic procedures to organize learning experiences in realizing learning objectives (Ningsih et al, 2022). This is what makes STEM-based learning with the aim of preparing its citizens to have the multidimensional skills of knowledge and technology needed in modern life (Pimthong & Williams, 2020).…”
