This study examines the continuing efforts to integrate secular and religious sciences in Islamic secondary religious schools in Malaysia. It explored the differences that exist among the three stakeholders: the Ministry of Education, the scholars of education, and the teachers in understanding and practicing an integrated Islamic education in classroom teaching. This study also looks at teachers' conceptions of the integration of knowledge and their understanding of translating it into pedagogical strategies.
