Daftar Isi:
- The proceeding of Pekalongan International Conference on Islamic Studies (PICIS) 2016 by the theme of “Realizing Mental Revolution through Reconstruction of Science in Islamic Higher Education” could be published. The theme was chosen because we believe that nation building cannot move forward if we only rely on the change on institutional capacities, without the change on human resources, the ones who actually run the institutions. The greatness of an institution will contribute nothing unless its human resources are incessantly developed. The history of Indonesia since the independence up to now has always been fulfilled with mismanagements in many aspects of life, including in formal and nonformal institutions. This condition could give negative impacts on the national development so significantly that mental degradation has always haunted this country‟s civilization. For this purpose, the President of the Republic of Indonesia has introduced what he calls themental revolutionagenda that should responsibly recognized and applied by the whole elements of this country. The activity of Pekalongan International Conference on Islamic Studies (PICIS) became a strategic move, as a constructive response to the nation's problems that have been rooted in problems of mental state. This activity was a realization of a support to the program. In another word, Indonesia needs to implement mental revolution as soon as possible, as well as to find solution as to which areas receive initial treatment. Hierarchically, changes should be made from ourselves to families, neighbors, and workspaces, then widened into larger communities, such a country.
