3. Integrative teaching is a well-organized anchored
on real life situation that include learners’
interests and needs creating a variety of
meaningful activities and learning experiences. It
paves the way to connecting what is learned in
school to real life world rather than isolated facts
and information.
4. Integrative learning is an approach where the
learner brings together prior knowledge and
experiences to support new knowledge and
experiences. By doing this, learners draw on
their skills and apply them to new experiences
at a more complex level. The concept behind
integrative learning is that students take
ownership of their own learning, becoming
critical inquiries who are able to make
meaningful connections between different
disciplines and utilise critical thinking to real-
life problems (Mansilla, 2008).
6. Integration within the subject area
Integration within one subject area or
intradisciplinary integration is a process of
integration where the knowledge and skills of
same subject are connected together during the
teaching-learning process.
7. For example:
• In Language teaching, we can
combine
Reading Writing
Oral
communication
Through
storytelling
8. For example:
• In Mathematics, the concepts
of percentage
Percentage
Decimal
fractions
Calculations
Combined
together to
learn Profit
and Loss
9. Integration between subject areas
The process of integrating the knowledge and
skills of two or more different subjects during the
teaching-learning process may be of two types
which are as:
1. Multidisciplinary integration – the subject area
outcomes remain distinct, but due to some
meaningful linkages they are connected
together during the process of transaction.

11. 2. Interdisciplinary integration – is a process of
integrating the interdependent or common
knowledge and skills from more than one subject
area during transaction process.
Example:
• concepts of mathematics and science are acquired
by integrating to singing, sculpting, painting, and
dancing.
• a class studying the New Testament from both the
literary and historical points of view.
12. Integration beyond subject areas
• A process where the students’ day to day
experiences are connected to different subject
areas to acquire knowledge and skills.
• Interdisciplinary and disciplinary skills in a real-
life context are focused in this integration.
Example:
Project-based learning
