Student’s Self-Efficacy In Integrating Islamic And Scientific Knowledge: An Analytical Study

This research aims at investigating a correlation between self-efficacy as an independent variable that associates with the integration of knowledge propounded by prominent scholars such as Al-Ghazali and Al-Alwani and aligns with the other variables which are Islamization of knowledge, the GIINA Model, and the integration skills in general. Yet, the integration of knowledge is well-known as an integrated
curriculum that promotes multi-disciplinary in academic settings. Being a mixed method in nature, this research adopts both qualitative and quantitative methods, as both methods are complementary to educational research. Significantly, the use of a semi-structured interview among the experts resulted in developing a skill set that enhances the application of the integration of knowledge in life. The experts suggested some important skills that need to be mastered by students such as a clear understanding of the Naqli and Aqli knowledge, the understanding of the methodology of revelation (wahyu) and methodology of natural sciences, the understanding of two readings which are reading of the Qur’an and the created universe, the unifying themes of the Qur’an, the bilingual proficiencies, memorization, and the internalization aspect. Under the vision promoted by USIM in producing a holistic, balanced, and entrepreneurial graduate, this study highlights the significance of emphasizing the skills needed in integrating Islamic and Scientific knowledge.
