LEARNING ORGANIZATION THROUGH INTEGRATING SCIENCE WITH THE WAY OF LIFE TO ENHANCE SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE TRANSFERRING ABILITY OF PRIMARY LEVEL MUSLIM STUDENTS
Abstract
The
context of the three southern border provinces of Thailand is a society which
is remarkable in religion, language, and culture. The majority people are
Muslim. As a result, schooling in these three provinces focuses on religion in
parallel with normal education, but without a disciplinary integration. This is
not the answer to proper education which requires integration of all aspects to
learners’ way of life. According to Islamic disciplines, there must be an
integration between religious academic and normal education (secular). Muslims
must study the Holy Quran and other subjects along with Islamic disciplines.
This
research aimed to develop the lesson plan to promote the Muslim students’ ability
in transferring the scientific knowledge and to study the Muslim students’
ability in transferring the knowledge of science. The populations were obtained
by purposive sampling of 4-6 grade students (N=30) enrolling in Science Club in
the first semester of academic year 2016. The research instruments were 1) an
analysis of the text consistency in the Holy Quran, which is associated with
the concepts and scientific principles 2) Integrated science lesson plans to
promote the ability in transferring scientific knowledge of Muslim students and
3) the tests in transferring scientific knowledge. The statistics used for
analyzing the collected data were mean, standard deviation and percentage.
The
research findings were as follow: 1) the results of analyzing text consistency
in the Quran that is associated with the concepts and scientific principles.
The point corresponding to a unit of 6 learning units 21 lesson plan. 2) The
students’ ability in transferring scientific knowledge after taught by the
integrated science lesson plan was higher than the 75 percent criteria. The average
stay at a good level.
