Keywords:
Islamic Education, Curriculum Integration, Science and Religion, Teacher TrainingAbstract
This study explores the integration of modern science and Islamic values in Islamic education, focusing on how curriculum development can reconcile scientific knowledge with religious teachings. By examining the experiences of teachers, students, and curriculum developers across various Islamic educational institutions, the research identifies both the opportunities and challenges in creating an integrated curriculum. Key findings highlight the importance of teacher training, the role of curriculum frameworks, and the influence of local religious and cultural contexts in shaping the effectiveness of integration. The study also underscores the potential benefits for students in understanding science through an Islamic ethical lens, promoting both intellectual growth and spiritual development. Despite the challenges, best practices such as collaborative teaching and inquiry-based learning demonstrate how integration can foster a more holistic educational experience. The study concludes with recommendations for enhancing teacher professional development, creating standardized curriculum guidelines, and fostering societal acceptance of the compatibility between science and Islamic values.References
