Pengembangan Paradigma Integrasi Ilmu: Harmonisasi Islam dan Sains dalam Pendidikan

Abstract

Secularism that separates religion from mundane aspects, including science and knowledge, that appeared and applied in the West turned out to present themselves as a different face when applied in the Islamic world. In the West, secularism became a reason for science breeding. Meanwhile, in the Islamic world, secularism actually trigger the birth of science dichotomy that led to the neglect of science. In turn, the practice of science dichotomy is precisely the cause of the deterioration of Islamic civilization. Muslim community has a different cultural history with the West. Historically, Islam became the main driver of progress of science in the golden age. This is different with Western history that marred by tensions between science and religion. Therefore, Islamic education should be developed in accordance with its integrative and nondichotomous culture. Therefore, religion and science in Islam is a unity. Epistemology of Islamic education is built by making sciences as part of its supporting pillars.
