Objective: The dominance of Western civilization in various aspects of life, including politics, economics, and science, has created conditions in which Muslims experience an inferiority complex in the face of modern science. To overcome this, Muslim intellectuals initiated the concept of the Islamization of science as an effort to build a scientific system based on Islamic values. However, this idea has been criticized by several Muslim thinkers who consider that the Islamization of science approach tends to be ideological rather than methodological, and has the potential to create a dichotomy between Islam and global science. Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework used in this study combines social psychology theories about inferiority complexes and Islamic educational theories that emphasize the importance of building knowledge through Islamic teachings without losing relevance in the global world. Literature Review: The literature reviewed in this study includes various works that discuss the Islamization of knowledge, critiques of the dominance of Western culture, and issues related to globalization and its impact on Muslim identity. Methods: This study uses a qualitative approach with a discourse analysis method to critically examine the various perspectives that have developed regarding the Islamization of science. The data sources used come from literature studies, including the works of Muslim thinkers such as Syed Naquib al-Attas and Ismail Raji' al-Faruqi, as well as criticism from academics who highlight the limitations of this approach. Results: The results of the study show that although the Islamization of science attempts to restore the intellectual superiority of Muslims, this approach faces serious challenges, such as the lack of a transparent methodology, limited implementation in higher education, and the possibility of academic isolation from the global scientific community. Implications: Therefore, this study offers an alternative, more integrative approach, namely the reconstruction of the Islamic scientific paradigm that not only maintains Islamic values but can contribute to universal scientific discourse without getting caught up in the Islam vs West dichotomy. Novelty: This study presents a novel critique of the Islamization of knowledge by addressing the inferiority complex among Muslims in the face of Western scientific dominance. Unlike prior ideological approaches, it proposes a methodological reconstruction of the Islamic scientific paradigm that integrates Islamic values with global discourse, avoiding the Islam-versus-West dichotomy.

Publisher : Walidem Institute and Publishing

Show Abstract | Download Original | Original Source | Check in Google Scholar | DOI: 10.61455/sicopus.v3i01.295

Objective: This study aims to: (1) describe how to familiarize with Islamic manners in Early Childhood Education, PAUD (Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini) students, (2) describe how to teach mastery of science competencies in PAUD students, and (3) describe the synergy between the habituation of Islamic manners and the mastery of science competencies through the application of the ICARE method in kindergarten students of grade B1 Shofa KB Islamic Kindergarten Al Azhar 28 Solo Baru. Theoretical framework: This research is based on the theoretical framework of constructivism which emphasizes the importance of the active role of children in building knowledge through meaningful social and environmental interactions. The ICARE (Introduction, Connect, Apply, Reflect, Extend) method is seen as aligned with this approach because it integrates cognitive and affective learning in a single set of fun and contextual activities. Literature review: Previous literature shows that habituation of character values from an early age has a significant impact on children's moral development, while mastery of science competencies is important to form the basis of logical and critical thinking. However, the integration of the two-in-one systematic learning approach is still rarely studied in depth. Methods: This study used a qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation. The subjects of the study are teachers and parents of B1 grade students at KB Islamic Kindergarten Al Azhar 28 Solo Baru. Results: The results show that: (1) the habituation of Islamic manners can be carried out effectively through parental assistance using the ICARE method in a pleasant learning atmosphere, (2) the mastery of science competence can also be improved through the same approach, and (3) there is a positive synergy between the habituation of Islamic manners and the mastery of scientific competence with the application of the holistic ICARE method. Implications: The implication of this study is the importance of collaboration between teachers and parents in character-based learning and science simultaneously. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in the integration of Islamic manners and scientific competence in an ICARE-based methodological approach at the PAUD level, which has not been widely studied before.

Objective: This research was conducted to determine the SPF value in 2 different samples of sunscreen and identify factors that affected the failure to determine vitamin C contents in each sample. Theoretical framework: This research is grounded in the principles of cosmetic chemistry and analytical instrumentation. Sunscreen efficacy is evaluated through SPF measurement using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Vitamin C, a common antioxidant in sunscreens, requires precise analytical conditions for detection. Root cause analysis using the Fishbone Diagram identifies systematic errors in lab procedures, guiding improvements in cosmetic product testing and quality assurance. Literature review: Sunscreens are cosmetic preparations used to protect the skin from ultraviolet exposure to sunlight. The protective ability of sunscreen products is measured in terms of SPF (Sun Protection Factor). One of the many ingredients found in sunscreen is Vitamin C. Vitamin C is widely used in cosmetic formulations, due to its natural antioxidant content and its ability to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, as well as to enhance the skin regeneration process. Methods: The methodology used to determine the SPF value is UV Spectroscopy, and to analyze the problem, we conducted a root analysis using Kaoru Ishikawa’s fishbone diagram. Results: We found that the two samples contain low SPF values (MC: 2.514, DN: 1.913) which are contrary to compendia recommendations. Then for the analysis, six main root causes of vitamin C determination are identified. Implications: The findings emphasize the need for consistent analytical methods and improved quality control in cosmetic testing. Identifying the root causes of failure provides a basis for refining laboratory practices. The low SPF values also suggest a need for further evaluation of product formulation and labelling accuracy. Novelty: Our novelty in this research is the analysis of causes of failure within an experiment conducted in the lab.
