Abstract:

Graduate global health education has grown in popularity over the past decade. The Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health has defined global public health competencies for Master of Public Health (MPH) degrees, but there are no similarly established lists of learning outcomes for other types of master’s degrees in global health. The objective of this study was to examine the program goals, curricula, and applied learning requirements for non-MPH master’s degrees in order to understand how global health is being defined and operationalized by these programs. We identified the 14 universities in the United States and Canada offering Master of Science (MS) or Master of Arts (MA) degrees in global health in 2019. Their program descriptions typically emphasize applied research skills, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches, health disparities, and globalization. Both MS and MA degree pathways use a similar research-oriented core curriculum in which (1) foundational courses introduce the social and environmental determinants of health and global burden of disease trends in the context of globalization, global health ethics, and health systems and policy; (2) a research core develops competencies in biostatistics, epidemiology, and quantitative and qualitative research methods; and (3) a thesis or other written capstone project synthesizes and applies knowledge. Only 4 of the 14 programs require an international field experience, but most encourage applied experiential learning activities. Global health appears to be maturing as an academic discipline, with non-MPH graduate degrees in global health emphasizing similar knowledge areas, research skills, and competencies.

Abstract:

Summary Objective The purpose of this paper is to describe the Health Informatics Master Program at King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences (KSAU-HS), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods We have reviewed health informatics master programs worldwide with more emphasis on the recommendations of the International Medical Informatics Association on education in health informatics, research, and faculty/trainee participation at KSAU-HS. Results An applied health informatics master program has been designed where graduates will be able to deploy information and communication technology in support of health systems’ processes. This is due to the fact that most of health organizations are driven by information and communication technology. The program embodies the features of effective applied health informatics master programs recommended by the International Medical Informatics Association on education in health informatics and delineated as curricula integrating three areas of knowledge and skills: 1) Methodology and technology for the processing of data, information and knowledge in medicine and healthcare, 2) Medicine, health and biosciences, and 3) Informatics/ computer science, mathematics and biometry. Conclusions The health informatics master program (MHI) immerses students in the multidisciplinary field of health informatics education. Graduates of the MHI program will be wellprepared informaticians for leadership positions, able to meet the increasing demands in the field of health informatics to manage, plan, develop, and provide expert consultations to the healthcare sectors.

Abstract:

This paper discusses the power loss minimization problem in asymmetric distribution systems (ADS) based on phase swapping. This problem is presented using a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model, which is resolved by applying a master–slave methodology. The master stage consists of an improved version of the crow search algorithm. This stage is based on the generation of candidate solutions using a normal Gaussian probability distribution. The master stage is responsible for providing the connection settings for the system loads using integer coding. The slave stage uses a power flow for ADSs based on the three-phase version of the iterative sweep method, which is used to determine the network power losses for each load connection supplied by the master stage. Numerical results on the 8-, 25-, and 37-node test systems show the efficiency of the proposed approach when compared to the classical version of the crow search algorithm, the Chu and Beasley genetic algorithm, and the vortex search algorithm. All simulations were obtained using MATLAB and validated in the DigSILENT power system analysis software.

Abstract:

There are not many international courses that teach color science applied to non-technical fields. Here, we want to present the experience from a master course organized by Gruppo del Colore – Associazione Italiana Colore and Politecnico of Milano: the Master in Color Design & Technology. It has the aim of training students in the use of color mainly for design purposes, and color science and colorimetry have a big role in the program. The Master is organized in three main phases: Fundamentals, Project Works and Internship. The first part is a series of lectures and frontal lessons that gives to the students the theorical and technical bases to be used in project works practical applications of and internship. In fact, in the second and third parts students are asked to design and develop different applicative design projects. After the first part of Fundamentals training, students will be able to manage disciplines such as colorimetry, visual perception, physics, chemistry, optics and psychology, to build up their future professional career in different fields.

Abstract:

Mathematics has been the most successful and is the most mature of the sciences. Its first great master work – Euclid's ‘Elements’ – which helped to establish the field and demonstrate the power of its methods, was written about 2400 years ago; and it served as a standard text in the mathematics curriculum well into the twentieth century. By contrast, the first comparable master work of physics – Newton's Principia – was written 300 odd years ago. And the juvenile science of biology only got its first master work – Darwin's ‘On the Origin of Species’ – a mere 150 years ago. The development of the subject has also been extraordinarily fertile, particularly in the last three centuries, and it is perhaps only in the last century that the other sciences have begun to approach mathematics in the steady accumulation of knowledge that it has been able to offer. There has, moreover, been almost universal agreement on its methods and how they are to be applied. What we require is proof; and, in practice, there is very little disagreement over whether or not we have it. The other sciences, by contrast, tend to get mired in controversy over the significance of this or that experimental finding or over whether one theory is to be preferred to another.

Abstract:

Relevance and expediency of introduction of a training course of computer mathematics for students of “Secondary Education (Computer Science)” is caused by necessity of use of computer equipment with the corresponding software almost in all areas of human activity; the fact that computer mathematics is one of priority directions of research work both in the field of mathematical sciences, and in the field of computer science. Computer mathematics is a field of applied computer science in which problems of development, implementation and use of information technologies for solving mathematical problems are studied. The purpose of teaching computer mathematics is to study and use computer mathematics systems by students to solve applied problems; to master the conceptual and terminological base of modern computer science as a fundamental science; to master theoretical fundamentals of computer science related to formal systems, knowledge bases and models of their representation, models and algorithms of decision making. Formulation of the problem. The study of computer mathematics by future computer science teachers and the use of modern systems of computer mathematics to solve applied problems, creates their system of professional competencies, in particular, informatics competencies in computer mathematics, informatics and mathematical competencies and skills to use modern information technology to analyze mathematical models of processes and phenomena from a variety of fields of knowledge and human activities. Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, the following research methods were used: analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature on the research topic; analysis of curricula, work programs and manuals on the subject "Computer Mathematics"; empirical methods (questionnaire, conversation, pedagogical observation, modeling). Results. This paper has built the model of building informatics competence within the professional competence of the future computer science teacher at the expense of integration of mathematical and information knowledge on the basis of mathematical modeling in environments of systems of computer mathematics, as these systems are an effective means of realization of inter-subject connections of computer science with other subjects of a natural-mathematical cycle. Conclusions. The study of "Computer Mathematics" courses by future computer science teachers, using computer mathematics systems, contributes to the formation of components of the information competence system in the field of information, mathematical and computer modeling.

Abstract:

Synchronization in complex networks is an evergreen subject with many practical applications across the natural and social sciences. The stability of synchronization is thereby crucial for determining whether the dynamical behavior is stable or not. The master stability function is commonly used to that effect. In this paper, we study whether there is a relation between the stability of synchronization and the proximity to certain bifurcation types. We consider four different nonlinear dynamical systems, and we determine their master stability functions in dependence on key bifurcation parameters. We also calculate the corresponding bifurcation diagrams. By means of systematic comparisons, we show that, although there are some variations in the master stability functions in dependence on bifurcation proximity and type, there is in fact no general relation between synchronization stability and bifurcation type. This has important implication for the restrained generalizability of findings concerning synchronization in complex networks for one type of node dynamics to others.

Abstract:

Reaction networks are a general formalism for describing collections of classical entities interacting in a random way. While reaction networks are mainly studied by chemists, they are equivalent to Petri nets, which are used for similar purposes in computer science and biology. As noted by Doi and others, techniques from quantum physics, such as second quantization, can be adapted to apply to such systems. Here we use these techniques to study how the “master equation” describing stochastic time evolution for a reaction network is related to the “rate equation” describing the deterministic evolution of the expected number of particles of each species in the large-number limit. We show that the relation is especially strong when a solution of master equation is a “coherent state”, meaning that the numbers of entities of each kind are described by independent Poisson distributions. Remarkably, in this case the rate equation and master equation give the exact same formula for the time derivative of the expected number of particles of each species.

Abstract:

It has been suggested that people's cognitive and attributional strategies influence the extent to which they are successful in various situations. A 60-item self-report scale for measuring these strategies was developed. This Strategy and Attribution Questionnaire (SAQ) comprised ten subscales: (1) Success expectations, (2) Task-irrelevant behaviour, (3) Seeking social support, (4) Reflective thinking and (5) Master-orientation in an achievement situation, and (6) Success expectations, (7) Task-irrelevant behaviour, (8) Avoidance, (9) Master-orientation and (10) Pessimism in an affiliative context. An attempt to validate these subscales was made by correlating them with Rosenberg's Self-esteem and Self-stability Scales, a revised Beck's Depression Inventory, the Peer Relationship Measure, and the levels of task-irrelevant behaviour, test-anxiety, and grades in a university examination. This was done with a sample of 488 undergraduates at the University of Helsinki. The results showed that the SAQ subscales were moderately or highly, and in theoretically expected ways, associated with various validity criteria. Moreover, internal consistency and retest reliabilities were good. The results suggest that the SAQ provides a valid and reliable measure for identifying different types of cognitive and attributional strategy.

Abstract:

This article presents tracking control performances of the repulsive force and torque of a haptic master with 6 degrees of freedom, which can be applied to robot-assisted minimally invasive surgeries. The proposed haptic master is activated by two types of actuators that use magneto-rheological fluid: magneto-rheological clutch and magneto-rheological brake. The body segment (or lower part) of the haptic master generates the repulsive forces for the three translational axes using the magneto-rheological clutch, while the wrist segment (or upper part) generates the repulsive torque for the three rotational axes through the use of the magneto-rheological brake. After analyzing the kinematic and dynamic equations, an appropriately sized haptic master is designed and manufactured. The field-dependent force and torque characteristics of the magneto-rheological actuators are experimentally investigated. Then, for successful tracking control performances, a fuzzy plus proportional–integral–derivative feedback controller is used for the repulsive force while a feed-forward controller associated with a hysteretic compensator for the repulsive torque. The effectiveness of the proposed 6-degree-of-freedom haptic master is experimentally validated by demonstrating high tracking accuracy of the force and torque.

Abstract:

This article focuses on a cross sectional research study for assessing quality of teaching which has been conducted in Islamia College Peshawar, a chartered University in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan. The researchers collected data via structured questionnaire from 497 students of undergraduate and graduate level including Bachelor of Studies (BS), Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MSc) and Master of Philosophy (MPhil) of 13 departments of the said university. For analysis of data, descriptive statistics and chi-square test were applied using SPSS version 16. The analysis shows that students` high satisfaction level is above 60% and low satisfaction level is below 40%. The satisfaction level of male and female were significantly different about quality of teaching. This study recommends that teacher should update their knowledge, use new teaching methods, explain topic with daily life examples, encourage students, show answer books after marking, provide guidance, be fair and complete course on time for the enhancement of students’ satisfaction level.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to develop a standardized test addressed to measure preservice science teachers’ scientific reasoning skills, and to initially evaluate its psychometric properties. We constructed 123 multiple-choice items, using 259 students’ conceptions to generate highly attractive multiple-choice response options. In an item response theory-based validation study (N = 2,247), we applied multiple regression analyses to test hypotheses based on groups with known attributes. As predicted, graduate students performed better than undergraduate students, and students who studied two natural science disciplines performed better than students who studied only one natural science discipline. In contrast to our initial hypothesis, preservice science teachers performed less well than a control group of natural sciences students. Remarkably, an interaction effect of the degree program (bachelor vs. master) and the qualification (natural sciences student vs. preservice teacher) was found, suggesting that preservice science teachers’ learning opportunities to explicitly discuss and reflect on the inquiry process have a positive effect on the development of their scientific reasoning skills. We conclude that the evidence provides support for the criterion-based validity of our interpretation of the test scores as measures of scientific reasoning competencies.

Abstract:

Real-time PCR has been used widely in numerous fields. In food safety, it has been applied to detection of microbes and other contaminants, including food allergens. Interest in rapid (fast) cycling real-time PCR has grown because it yields results in less time than does conventional cycling. However, fast cycling can adversely affect assay performance. Here we report on tests of commercial master mixes specifically designed for fast real-time PCR using a shrimp allergen assay we previously developed and validated. The objective of this work was to determine whether specialized commercial master mixes lead to improved assay performance in rapid cycling. Real-time PCR assays were carried out using four different master mixes and two different rapid cycling protocols. Results indicated that specialized master mixes did yield quality results. In many cases, linear ranges spanned up to 7 orders of magnitude, R2 values were at least 0.95, and reaction efficiencies were within or near the optimal range of 90 to 110%. In the faster of the two rapid cycling protocols tested, assay performance and PCR amplification were markedly better for the shorter PCR product. In conclusion, specialized commercial master mixes were effective as part of rapid cycling protocols, but conventional cycling as used in our previous work is more reliable for the shrimp assay tested.

Indian higher education system is changing rapidly. During the last few decades after Independence of India, several educational institutions have been developed throughout the nation. During this period apart from the establishment of HEIs various new degrees, diplomas and awards have been started. Like the United Kingdom and its follower countries, degrees in the field of Science and Applied Sciences started and continued both Science and Engineering platform/ stream. Similarly, in research segment two main degrees till continued one is Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and another is Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.). Both are important and valuable in their own place. The M.Phil. program is a kind of research based master’s program and similar to the Masters of Research (M.Res.) programs available in many countries. M.Phil. is also a smaller and previous part of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). Normally it requires less time than a PhD program. The program available worldwide and in India also it has offered by the universities. In India, the degree is available in different platform or stream i.e. Arts, Science, and Commerce. Even in Technology and Management stream as well the programs have been started in recent. This paper is conceptual in nature and primary study based on the availability of M.Phil. program nationwide. The research work mainly focuses on the varieties of M.Phil. programs available in IT and Computer fields and especially offered by Private Universities in India.

Abstract:

We have developed a master interface that uses an isometric velocity control technique for translation and an anisometric position control technique for rotation. Using the developed interface, the operator can concentrate on the slave side and control the robot without repositioning required in conventional master arm due to the workspace limitation. However, it cannot display haptic to the operator for the translation directions with the manipulator. In this article, we propose a method to feedback the external force on the slave side to the master manipulator without using actuators or link mechanism but using a pseudo haptic effect. A flexible wrist joint with a spring is used at the tip of the slave forceps to enhance visual effect. The spring stiffness is pneumatically controlled. At the same time, we change the reference velocity of the slave according to the external force applied to the slave manipulator. The changed velocity caused by the external force restrains the slave motion. Using both the visual feedback and the motion restrain, the master–slave system is able to display force to the operator as pseudo haptic feedback without actuators. Experiments of pulling suture threads are executed using the developed master–slave surgical robot. It is confirmed that the master–slave system with pseudo haptic feedback can decrease the variance of force.

Abstract:

Context. This paper presents a numerical application of a self-consistent theory of partial redistribution in nonlocal thermodynamical equilibrium conditions, developed in previous papers of the series. Aims. The code was described in IV of this series. However, in that previous paper, the numerical results were unrealistic. The present paper presents an approximation able to restore the reliability of the outgoing polarization profiles. Methods. The convergence of the results is also proved. It is demonstrated that the step increment decreases like 1/Nα, with α > 1. Results. Thanks to these additions, the results series behaves like a Riemann series, which is absolutely convergent. However, convergence is not fully reached in line wings within the allocated computing time. Development of efficient acceleration methods would be desirable for future work. Conclusions. Agreement between the computed and observed linear polarization profiles remains qualitative only. The discrepancy is assigned to the plane parallel atmosphere model, which is insufficient to describe the chromosphere, where these lines are formed. As all the integrals are numerical in the code, it could probably be adapted to more realistic and higher dimensional model atmospheres. However, this is time consuming for lines with a hyperfine structure, as in the Na I D lines. The net linear polarization observed in Na I D1 with the Zürich Imaging Polarimeter ZIMPOL mounted on the McMath-Pierce telescope at Kitt Peak is not confirmed by the present calculations and could be an artefact of instrumental polarization. The presence of instrumental polarization could be confirmed by the higher linear polarization degree observed by this instrument in the Na I D2 line center with respect to the present calculation result where the magnetic field is not accounted for. At this precise point, the Hanle effect acts as a depolarizing effect in the second solar spectrum. The observed linear polarization excess is found to be of the same order of magnitude in both line centers, namely 0.1%, which is also comparable to the instrumental polarization compensation level of this experiment.

Abstract:

Against the background of the global environmental crises, landscape ecology and related disciplines become increasingly important. Higher education should therefore contribute to the development of experts and potential stakeholders who have not only scientific skills but also interdisciplinary, intercultural, and communication skills to be applied in diverse contexts throughout the world. A 10-years program, funded by the Stemmler Foundation within the German Stifterverband supported studies abroad with excursions, summer schools, and workshops with students from the Bachelor, Master and doctoral level of various study programs. Students from 39 countries from all over the world benefitted from this program. In summer schools, particularly ecosystem restoration and nature conservation were addressed in lectures and during field trips as well as with students’ input of case studies from their country of origin. During international excursions to various countries, land use and culture, land-use history, and sustainable development were topics, with close interaction with local land users and stakeholders. Bridging the natural with the social sciences was achieved by involving respective experts as well as stimulate students to cross-disciplinary thinking and judgements. Master students were offered exploratory learning environments abroad within ongoing landscape ecological research projects for their thesis. Students’ feedback reflect an overall successful approach, which prepared students for the global environmental challenges with hard and soft skills.

Abstract:

The International Program in Survey and Data Science (IPSDS) is an online educational program, which can be attended through the Joint Program in Survey Methodology (JPSM) at the University of Maryland (UMD) and a part-time Master of Applied Data Science & Measurement (MDM) at the University of Mannheim and Mannheim Business School (MBS). It is targeted towards and attended by working professionals involved or interested in data collection and data analysis including those working in official statistics. The program conveys competencies in the areas of data collection, data analysis, data storage, and data visualization. The faculty of the program includes researchers and lecturers from both the University of Maryland and the University of Mannheim as well as other organizations such as destatis and Statistics Netherlands in the field of official statistics. The program was awarded the label of ‘European Master in Official Statistics (EMOS)’ under conditions in May 2021. In the article, we summarize the methodological and statistical competencies needed in official statistics and show how IPSDS covers this set of skills. We will present the flipped classroom design used for the IPSDS program and demonstrate that it is especially suited for students who are working professionals at the same time.

Abstract:

Heterogeneous master–slave robots are widely used as both the assistive robot system for the elder/disabled people and the teleoperation robot system in dangerous environments. For the sake of intuitive teleoperation, motion mapping should be applied to keep the slave arm possessing the similar configuration of the master arm in the whole course of telemanipulation. We propose a motion mapping on the joint analog level based on unit dual quaternions (UDQs) for the telecontrol of a heterogeneous slave robot arm via the motion of human master arm. First, we analogize the links of the slave robot to the links of the human master arm, and accordingly group the slave arm joints into “shoulder,” “elbow,” and “wrist” joint analog sets. Then, we capture the motion of the human master arm via a wearable motion capture system and take it as the motion order of the slave arm. Finally, we solve the motion of slave robot arm’s joint via UDQ-based 1-, 2-, and 3-Degree of freedom (DOF) orientation error UDQ decomposition algorithms that are suit for solving a typical class of robotic slave arms. As a result, the operator can manipulate the heterogeneous robot system intuitively and conveniently, and the fatigue degree and error rate of the user can be significantly reduced, and thus the safety of teleoperation in an unstructured and constrained environment can be significantly improved.

Abstract:

Minimally invasive surgery accelerates postoperative recovery, but can only be applied by surgeons having advanced conduct skills. We developed a master-slave manipulator, i.e., robotic forceps for laparoscopic surgery that enhances surgical skill. Robotic forceps consists of a master-slave manipulator, a support component, a controller, an operating conditions display, and a foot switch for changing operating conditions. This paper details specifications and components of robotic forceps and evaluates conductance, such as measurement of the slave hand’s grip and suturing and ligaturing, conducted on a sponge stomach model. A comparison of support function in experiments demonstrates their effectiveness.

Abstract:

I will be describing a self-paced mastery-oriented introductory astronomy course that has been offered at the University of South Carolina since 1972. This course is a three-semester sequence with total enrollments of 800–1000 students per term. Most of the enrollment is for the first semester of the sequence. Although these particular courses are designed for non-science majors, I believe that the methods developed in these courses can be applied to courses for astronomy majors. These methods could provide a solution to the problems of teaching classes and, at the same time, traveling for research and meetings.A mastery-oriented course involves developing a list of learning objectives that are described in terms of performance of given tasks. That is, words such as understand and appreciate should not be used. Performance objectives involve words such as recognize, calculate, measure, and describe. Any set of learning objectives must be tied to a set or readings, a textbook, and/or supplementary notes. These items are chosen or written by the instructor(s) to provide the background necessary for the students to master the objectives.

Full text

Abstract:

Time and temperature, besides pressure in a lesser extent, represent the most significant variables influencing the rheological behavior of viscoelastic materials. These magnitudes are each other related through the well-known Time–Temperature Superposition (TTS) principle, which allows the master curve referred to relaxation (or creep) behavior to be derived as a material characteristic. In this work, a novel conversion law to interrelate relaxation curves at different temperatures is proposed by assuming they to be represented by statistical cumulative distribution functions of the normal or Gumbel family. The first alternative responds to physical considerations while the latter implies the fulfillment of extreme value conditions. Both distributions are used to illustrate the suitability of the model when applied to reliable derivation of the master curve of Polyvinil–Butyral (PVB) from data of experimental programs. The new approach allows not only the TTS shift factors to be estimated by a unique step, but the whole family of viscoelastic master curves to be determined for the material at any temperature. This represents a significant advance in the characterization of viscoelastic materials and, consequently, in the application of the TTS principle to practical design of viscoelastic components.

Abstract:

Communities adjacent to concentrated areas of industrial land use (CAILU) are exposed to elevated levels of pollutants during flood disasters. Many CAILU are also characterized by insufficient infrastructure, poor environmental quality, and socially vulnerable populations. Manchester, TX is a marginalized CAILU neighborhood proximate to several petrochemical industrial sites that is prone to frequent flooding. Pollutants from stormwater runoff discharge from industrial land uses into residential areas have created increased toxicant exposures. Working with local organizations, centers/institutes, stakeholders, and residents, public health researchers sampled air, water, indoor dust, and outdoor soil while researchers from landscape architecture and urban planning applied these findings to develop a community-scaled master plan. The plan utilizes land use and built environment changes to increase flood resiliency and decrease exposure to contaminants. Using a combination of models to assess the performance, costs, and benefits of green infrastructure and pollutant load impacts, the master plan is projected to capture 147,456 cubic feet of runoff, and create $331,400 of annual green benefits by reducing air pollution and energy use, providing pollution treatment, increase carbon dioxide sequestration, and improve groundwater replenishment. Simultaneously, there is a 41% decrease across all analyzed pollutants, reducing exposure to and transferal of toxic materials.

Abstract:

In this study, adaptive observer-based synchronization of chaotic systems is considered. The master and slaves systems have different dynamics and it is assumed that the master system parameters are unknown while its states are available. First, it is assumed that the slave system parameters are known but its states are not completely available. It is shown that an observer for the slave system can be designed and applied for the purpose of synchronization. Based on a Lyapunov function, an adaptive law for master parameters estimation and a control law for the synchronization goal are extracted. Stability of the entire system including the observer dynamics has been proved. Further, it is assumed that the parameters of both master and slave systems are unknown. For this case, an adaptive nonlinear observer is designed to estimate the slave system states and two adaptive laws for estimating the unknown parameters are proposed. In addition, a proper control law to achieve the synchronization goal has been suggested, and the stability of the closed-loop system is established. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization method is shown via simulation results.

Abstract:

The implementation of technology in higher education is highly considered in research conducting during Covid-19 crisis in Morocco. This article examines students’ perceptions and the degree of satisfaction in online classes for one semester during the emergency of Covid-19 pandemic. The research design for this study is quantitative in which a questionnaire was used to collect data from thirty-two (32) respondents who are enrolled in two Master Programs of ‘Applied Language Studies and Research in Higher Education’ and ‘Language, Communication, and Society’ at the Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences of Dhar Mehraz of Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University in Morocco as a convenient sampling. The SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) was used to analyze the retrieved data via e-mails. The findings of this study demonstrate that the majority of Master students would like to resort to hybrid education instead of online classes per se. They also show that online learning satisfaction does not receive high levels of agreement among the respondents. The paper ends up with some recommendations for the implementation of online education in higher education.

Abstract:

This study was conducted in response to the low capacity of the learners in implementing theology and science. It is to be applied by learners in the school environment and the community in everyday life. Integrative education is an education that combines the truths of revelation with the evidence found in the universe. It said the structure of integrative science, the science merged into a science that is identical, such as character, style, nature. Between the sciences integrated in the unity of material-spiritual dimension, reason-revelation, general science-theology, physical-spiritual world and the hereafter. The design of the study is a qualitative approach and the method used is comparative studies. The data collection both qualitative and quantitative data that will be concluded. In order to know that students are able to apply theology and able to master science. Lately often expressed that the gist of science must be revised in order to reflect its essence and in its application does not lead to great sacrifice. The essence of which can be absorbed by the intellect (lustrous, conscience or subjective sense). Can coordinate all branches of science, that science does not lead to disaster, and that every branch of science that is not regarded as the most important. The goal is to be able to combine two things that is still treated as a dichotomous against both of which resulted in the separation of theology with science. Hence the need for habituation in everyday life. Habits that have been created by students in the school will enhance the theology and science can further improve the quality of students' personality.
