Integration of Science and Religious Sciences Its Implications for Islamic Religious Education

Abstract

Integration is a union of fusion, in this case it is the union or combination of two different types of science, namely Science and Religious Science. In terms of benefits, the two are very clear differences but have the same source from the owner, namely Allah Swt. In Islam everything will be subject to the principle of oneness. Where natural science is definitely sourced from the one substance, namely sunnatullah. And basically knowledge is not a separate one – separate but perhaps the way it is searched is different. In the old days before the Dutch colonized Indonesia there was no such thing as common knowledge and religion all combined simply called religious science. However, at that time the dichotomy of education became a middle ground to become a competitor and answer the existence of modern education by the Dutch Government at that time. And whether restoring such integration has a good impact on islamic religious education and what are the implications. There are several implications of this integration, namely: 1. Implications for the curriculum, where students will be sent to the desire and ability to conduct research in fields of science and then look for connecting points in the area of religious reality, 2. Implications for the learning and teaching process, 3. Implications in the aspect of religious social education. With an integrative paradigm cultivates an attitude of mutual respect for differences.
