INTEGRAL EDUCATION OF THE RELIGIOUS BASE TO STRAIGHTEN THE MINDS OF THE STATE OF INDONESIA

Abstract

Secularism mainstream in the education field is now causing value-less knowledge. It can be seen in the ways Indonesian separate knowledge into science and religion in the education. Science and religion are separately understood, and they have lost their connection in ontology, epistemology, and axiology point of views. Therefore, people are in the “lost state”, religion is mistakenly understood. This study is aimed at finding the reasons why religion is misunderstood, the effects of the misunderstanding, and the concepts of religion-based integral education as the effort to solve the misunderstanding. Then, this study is focused on the epistemology of science, therefore the object of the study is human thought. Conceptual, philosophy, and religion approaches is used in the study. The data in this study are sociologist and normative sources. Meanwhile, the data analysis is abduction method. The result of the study shows that science tends to be positive in understanding something which is real and logical, things which are not logical are not considered as science. The secularism concept of science has gone wrong because science can be only understood to manage human life and despise the beyond. Lack of science understanding affects serious and harmful effects. Science may lose its purpose in helping human, the highest and the most capable God’s creature. Integrating science based on religion may affect peacefulness in the world and beyond. The imperfection in science is temporary, it can be fixed by knowledge which is absolute.
