The Integration of Science and Religious Education and Its Implications for Moral Development

Education not only serves to improve the quality of science but also becomes the main means of forming noble morals, where religion has an important role as its foundation. In the current development of the world of education, various learning models continue to be developed, one of which is the integration of science and religion. This research aims to reunite the two disciplines which have often been considered unrelated. The research approach used is qualitative with a literature study method, to explore how the integration of science and religion can have an impact on the formation of students' morals. The results of the study show that there is a gap between the understanding of religious values and their application in student behavior. Modern technology is often a factor that damages the relationship between students and teachers so moral values are neglected. Therefore, a curriculum based on Islamic values is needed to eliminate the dichotomy between science and religion. The curriculum is expected to be able to create a generation that has a balance between spiritual depth, mastery of knowledge, and professional character. The integration of science and religion in education is seen as a solution to build intellectually and spiritually superior individuals.
