Abstract Multifaceted phenomena, issues and also prevention of reductionism have forced scholars to interdisciplinary studies. For these reasons the holy Quran has been taken into consideration nowadays. Researchers, because of the novelty of interdisciplinary studies, pay attention to them based on their impressions of interdisciplinary studies. This issue makes the coherent definition of interdicsiplinarity and the expression of its Quranic typologies necessary. In fact we could consider the Integration as the main criterion for achieving Intrerdisciplinary studies. Therefore we will three kinds of interdisciplinrity: multi-disciplinarity, interdisciplinarity and meta-disciplinarity. Each of these has various forms of which a system of these kinds we can touch to a more coherent interdisciplinary studies toward Holy Quran.

Abstract According to organizational development in interdisciplinary education in the last three decades, in addition to the expansion of interdisciplinarity in scientific and intellectual activities, now it might be said that interdisciplinarity has acquired a high status in academic structures. Reviewing literature shows that there are different types of interdisciplinary experiments; among them some are familiar to scholars, while others are somehow non-familiar. However, it does not mean that these non-familiars are useless or inappropriate. Considering that each kind of interdisciplinarity has its own approach that leads to knowing and understanding special subjects in the multifaceted interdisciplinarities, the present study attempts to explain the most important types of interdisciplinarity, and their special implications.

Abstract Introducing science and religion and the relationship between them, the present study attempts to explain what “religious science” is. Then, describing the major field of religious science, the role of values in science would be addressed through explaining the value-oriented approaches to science.
The main part of the study is dedicated to describing various dimensions and aspects on which writings on Islamic Management are evaluated. A brief study shows that there are at least 70 book volumes focused on the matter, from which 13 are selected for the present study. A meta-analysis applied in this study, focuses on these books from four evaluating dimensions: content analysis, methodological analysis, reference analysis, and finally author analysis

Abstract The goal of this paper is to offer explanations with respect to some of the less evident aspects of this policy intent. The higher education systems, it is argued, are experiencing a challenging period where the felt need in this regard does not match the level of wisdom and the extent of insight required. The paper proceeds with a review of the literature in the curriculum field which aims at providing better understanding of different genres of curriculum integration concluding that this source although vital for policy makers at the higher education, will need to be further developed in order to match the complexities peculiar to higher education. The author, then, addresses the rationale for curriculum integration at higher education which he regards as manipulation of the current knowledge and technology map to address the emergent needs. This, he contends, requires concentration on a knowledge production system to meet the standard of a new knowledge domain. Without due attention to this prerequisite, the resulting product can not be regarded as a genuine interdisciplinary science and it will rather be looked upon as a mere addition or juxtaposition of two or mote extant knowledge fields. In the final section of the paper, five policy options are discussed.
