Development of Islamic Educational Institutions Through the Integration of Modern Science and Contemporary Educational Innovation
Keywords:
Islamic Education, Knowledge Integration, Modern Science, Educational Institutions, Curriculum Integration, Digital Technology, Educational DevelopmentAbstract
This study examines the development of Islamic educational institutions in the context of the advancement of modern science. This topic was chosen because there is still a dichotomy between religious science and general science which has an impact on the low ability of Islamic educational institutions to respond to the challenges of the times. In the era of globalization and rapid technological development, efforts are needed to integrate Islamic values and modern science to produce graduates who are not only intellectually superior, but also have a strong spiritual foundation. This study uses a qualitative approach with the library research method. Data is obtained from various scientific sources such as books, journal articles, and other academic publications, which are then analyzed using content analysis techniques to find key patterns and concepts relevant to the focus of the research. The results of the study show that the development of Islamic educational institutions can be carried out through three main strategies, namely curriculum integration between religious and general sciences, improving the competence of educators, and the use of digital technology in the learning process. However, there are various challenges faced, such as resistance to change, limited resources, and still strong scientific dualism. In conclusion, the integration between Islamic values and modern science is a strategic step in the development of Islamic educational institutions so that they remain relevant, adaptive, and able to compete in the global era.
