Di edisi spesial kali ini, kita akan diskusi bersama dengan Mbak Diana Setyawati, M.HSc.Psy., Ph.D selaku dosen Fakultas Psikologi dan Direktur Center of Public Mental Health (CPMH) Fakultas Psikologi Universitas Gajah Mada, Yogyakarta dengan fokus pada pembahasan SMA Masa Depan, yang berlokasi di Yogyakarta. Beliau juga merupakan salah satu pendiri sekolah tersebut. Konsep SMA Masa Depan terinspirasi dari kejayaan Islam di Masa Golden Age, dimana para ilmuwan hebat justru malah menggabungkan ilmu science dengan pemahaman Al-Qur'an, dan tidak memisahkan antara keduanya. SMA Masa Depan adalah jawaban dari kegelisahan ketika ilmu sains dipisahkan dari pemahaman Al Quran. Ketika memahami Al Quran hanya dimaknai sebagai hapalan. SMA Masa Depan juga bertujuan untuk menjawab problematika umat dan tantangan peradaban. Lalu, kenapa harus SMA yang didirikan dan apa hubungannya dengan psikologi anak? Bagaimana kurikulum dari SMA Masa Depan agar dapat menggabungkan science dan agama Islam? Siapa saja pengajarnya? Simak secara lengkap pada podcast kali ini!
