Ecology is home for all people, so education to be care to ecology is the most important. the author write some of aspects of ecology to be cared by all.
Indonesian National
Education goal as quoted by Catherine Back and Irawan (2014:2) are: 1) to form
human who believe, cautious, and noble character; 2) to master science and
technology; and 3) to actively participate in creating order and peace in the
world. Those goals are difficult but strategic to achieve because the
development of national regional even international require men having such the
capabilities and character. In relation to the issues of global warming and
climate change are required men who are capable and having comprehensive
knowledge of spiritual, social, educational, and technical to deal with
unpredictable environment. The authors wish to discuss the goal of mastering
science and technology as the goal of national education in reference to
biological plant agronomy.
The world acknowledged that middle centuries was the
Moslem Golden Ages. At that centuries moslem scholars had laid foundation of
the development of science and technology.The Darul Hukama (House of Wisdom)
founded by Ma’mun in 830 at Bagdad was the first institution of higher learning
in the Islamic world. Besides being a translation bureau, this institution
functioned as an academy and house an
up-to-date library as well as an observatory and as teaching center in
various branches of sciences(Meta
Existence, 2014)
Science and technologies were existed in the
core curriculum of education, and the Sultan or
the Caliph gave high appreciation to scholars who wrote their
finding/taught as a book and gave prize to them. And the prize was gold as much
as the weight of the book. Islamic Scientific Education at that era produced
the well known moslem scientists as Ibn Haytham, Averouse, Avicenna and others.
And moslem world (Baghdad. Kuffah, Cordova) became the destination of students
around the world. Ibn Haytham was famous as the father scientific methodology,
he conducted experiments in technologies and he wrote his finding in Book of
Optics (Wikipedia.2014). In that era Islamic education included the
natural and life sciences.
Biological plant
agronomists in the climate change and global warming situation have to reset
and adapt their standard of practical procedure in applying their knowledge in
the field. The schedule of activities in the filed have to be flexible to be
easily adapted to the unpredictable climate. The means and materials needed for
a certain production have to be rearranged and recalculated their costs (cost
of water irrigation and fertilizer, etc.). Man power recruitment must
also be rescheduled. All of these changes must not be complained about as erratic and
anomalous of nature. Instead, educated people should considered it as challenge
and subject matter of education to study, because global warming and climate
change are happening are as the consequences of life dynamic. Other people of
un-responsible individual or collective are burning the forest, over exploiting
coal/oil/tin/silver/goal/steal, mining, illegal logging, and other destructing
activities. They are had, having and are changing this world to warmer stages.
Social, humanity (religious) and technology approaches are required. All
aspects of knowledge and approach is needed to educate people involved.
To deal with this problems education appeared
as solution. To make people cautious and feel concerned with global warming,
and aware that illegal logging is wrong deeds and are destructive, educators
have to create new approach and new content of educational syllabic or curricula adapting the need of environment.
Education roles of all aspects of life and skills as stated by Nasr (1990) quoted
by Catherine Beck and Irawan (2014:21) are that Indonesian Islamic education
had to be concerned with the whole being of men and women whom it sought to educate. Its goal was
not only the training of mind but that of the whole being of a person. That is why it implied not
only instruction or transmission of knowledge
(ta’lim), but also training of
the whole being of a student (tarbiyyah).
The teacher was not only a mua’llim,
a transmitter of knowledge, but also a murabby,
a trainer of soul and personalities.
However illegal
logging, forest burning, and over exploiting of natural resources are conducted
by skillful and educated people but they
are greedy and not responsible people. Their knowledge, sciences and skills are
utilized to destructive deeds. To get educated people that concerned to community life, Al-Faruqi
(1984:xi) has stated that to reset the wrong manner of knowledge/and educated
people that have made this world injustice, miss management, and destructive, we
have to unite in history view. Based on this united history all discipline will
accommodate the common and devote for achieving common goal. All disciplines
have the characteristic of common and human.
The whole being
of person involving all spiritual, knowledge, and know-how or skill. Biological
agronomic are skills of applying biology theories in practice. Education and
training to master skills in biological agronomy in managing the climate change
have to be based on research finding.
When people reveals something in his research, he must not be a pride
personality, because the finding is not real something new in realm. He is just
revealing or re-finding the hidden thing. The Almighty God educated us to say
praise be to Allah and be more Tawhid. Al-Faruqi
(1984: xii) said the ultimate Islamization of Knowledge is to make people more
Tawhid.
Now scientists
agree that the climate change has been much faster than in the past, and it can be the most important education roles. Nasa (2013) reported that certain facts about
earth’s climate are not in dispute; They also
show that in the past, large changes in climate have happened very
quickly, geological-speaking: in tens of years, not in millions or even
thousands. And scientific evidence is clear: global climate change caused by
human activities is occurring now, and it is a growing threat to society.
In the Qur’an, chapter ar-Ruum, verse 41, is
recited “Evil (sins and disobedience to
Allah) has appeared on land and at sea because of what the hands of men have
earned (by oppression and evil deeds),
that He (Allah) may make them taste a part of what which they have done, in
order that they may return (by repenting to Allah, and begging His pardon)
(Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali and Muhammad Muhsin Khan, 1404 H)
The evil deeds of
some people are human, people who have not wise consideration in their effort
to meet their own needs. Illegal logging, forest burn, uncontrolled extraction
of natural resources are done by the greedy people. They cause disrupted
hydrologic cycle firstly, and then disturb natural balance. The balance of
nature maintains the cycle of water, and water as stabilizer agent of the
global temperature as illustrated in the Figure
