Part II: Summary
Once you have completed your matrix, examine it carefully for
connections among the disciplines; realize that all disciplines
are interrelated. If you think critically, you can connect and
integrate these disciplines, which helps you understand the
subjects more fully, assists you in becoming a better teacher or
trainer, and assists you in problem-solving situations. Based on
your findings from your matrix, prepare at least a 350-word
explanation of how critical thinking skills can be used to make

5. connections across educational disciplines. Include the reasons
it is important to integrate disciplines in research, in problem
solving, and in the creative-thinking process.
Consider the following questions:
· How can participating in a sport help me understand the laws
of physics?
· How can understanding the human body and the art of dance
help me receive the maximum benefit from my daily workout?
· How can I express or teach something without using words?
Can the arts help teachers overcome language barriers?
· Can literature help us understand history and offer suggestions
to related current issues?
· Does art offer suggestions on how our current history will be
recorded?
· Is it possible to solve an architectural dilemma by
understanding the related disciplines of math, art, social
science, literature, and science?

6. · What problem do you currently have to solve? What
disciplines and critical thinking skills would you use to solve
that problem?
