How to Create a System Ecological Theory of The Environment in Revolution 4.0 Era?

Abstract

The ecological theory of the environment plays an important role in the development and characterization of an individual’s character. This theory will show the process of development that develops between the individual and the environment. The character of an individual will shape from the influence of the surrounding environment such as family, friends, school, teachers, workplace and so on. This paper will discuss the integration of environmental ecological theory into aspects of Islamic and western thought in the face of the revolutionary 4.0 era. The ecological theory of the environment will be based on Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory as well as Ibn Khaldun’s ecological theory. Research on three aspects of the activity, role model, and practice will be detailed. This method of study uses documentary analysis based on Ibn Khaldun’s book of scripture and Bronfenbrenner’s writings. As a result of this study, it is found that these three aspects are in line with human needs. Therefore, this study is seen as contributing to the theory and can serve as a new reference and concept to society. Implications of this study apply the theory of the environment not only in education but in all fields.
