Integration of Science and Religion, Holistic LearningAbstract
Holistic education balances cognitive, affective, and spiritual aspects. The integration of science and religion in science learning is one strategy to achieve this balance in students. This study aims to determine the integration of science and religion in science learning for sixth-grade students at SDIT Alam Nurul Islam Dua Ngawi. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach. Informants in this study included the principal, curriculum coordinator, class teachers, and sixth-grade students. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that integration was implemented with a holistic approach that began with religious-based opening lessons such as reading Al-Masurat, Friday prayers, and selected hadiths, followed by the delivery of lesson materials. In delivering the material, teachers provided reinforcement of Islamic values. Thus, from these learning activities, students not only gained general knowledge, but also religious knowledge and character building. This integration had a positive impact on improving students' understanding of science concepts and character development. Despite this positive impact, teacher training is still needed to develop creative and integrated learning tools for comprehensive holistic implementation.
