Abstract

The weak implementing of the integration of science and religion (SR) has been consistently reported as a problem in the developments of science, technology and social change. The Director-General of Islamic Education instructs Rectors of Islamic Higher Education (IHE) to review, develop and organise the integration of religion and sciences. This study evaluates the extent of the integration within the curriculum. The methods used in this case study were in-depth interviews, observations and document analysis. The results showed that Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Malang puts secular and religious sciences in an equal position, integrating religion within the curriculum through the inclusion of spiritual elements and hidden curriculum. The integration uses three methods, i.e., internalisation, labelisation, and deductive methods. This paper concludes that the integration of SR guides the development of religion, science and arts in an integrative way based on religious values and character-building, and fulfils human needs.
