discussion of the concept of integrated approach in learning teaching process and the way to go beyond of textbook .

1. Going beyond of textbook
through
Integrated Approach of
learning teaching
P.Rajak, DIET, Purulia

2. Why going beyond of
textbook ?
• Kids learn in holistic way -
e.g.- Observing a butterfly
Not only vertical symmetrical
Not only beautiful colours
Not only an insect structure
Not only Math/biology/ language
• Not to burden in different curricular area -

3. How going beyond of textbook ?
• Real issues ( not limited in textbook ):-
different Local issues
Disaster Management:
Tsunami – More relevant
for South Indian kids
Kid’s concept
about Source
of Water
River Kids of Hill area
Tap Kids of Urban area
Pond Kids of Village area

4. How going beyond of textbook ?
• connecting textbook with real life issue –
( not for exam preparation )
In this school
No preventive action
taken against malaria /
dengue but textbook
has detail information

5. How going beyond of textbook ?
e.g.- School water tap
not working
Neighborhood news paper
rail ticket
observation day
Different
Resources

6. How going beyond of textbook ?

7. Integrated Approach in teaching
learning process
Situation : Filling water in
water pot by children
Learning – about used
materials , cleaning &
filtration to minimize
germs, counting number
of cans to fill the water
pot
Your Task -
Here which subjects are
integrated and what is
the theme ?
Theme?

8. Integrated Learning and Teaching Process include
the followings
Subject Combination
Sources that go beyond
textbook
Relationship among
concepts
Thematic Units
Emphasis on project

9. Types of
Integration
Within
Subject
Area
Intra
disciplinary
Between
Subject Areas
Multi
disciplinary
Inter
disciplinary
Beyond
Subject
Areas
Trans
disciplinary

10. Types of Integration

11. Intra-disciplinary Integration
• Combining
different
concepts in a
particular
subject .
• Example-
‘’Living &
non-living
beings’’ on
the basis of
reproduction,
movement ,
food etc.
Example -Subject EVS of class-II
Topic Learning Outcomes Process of
Integrating
Village
festival
(Integration
of family
with
neighborho
od )
Identify work of
different family
members &
importance of
neighborhood.
Activities to help
the family.
What you see in
village festival ?
State name and
work of your family
members .
Who helps you in
your work and how
you help others ?
Describe the help
you receive from
neighbors ?

12. Multi-disciplinary Integration
• df
 Linkages among different subjects regarding their LearningOutcomes.
Example- Integration of Language, EVS and Mathematics
Topic Learning Outcomes Process of Integrating
The Story
of Aaruni
Language –
Reading with correct
pronunciation and
describe the story
EVS –
Describe about different
season and crops
cultivated
Mathematics –
Geometric shape of crop
field and measurement of
water i.e. container
• Story telling method and inter group
interaction and correction .
•Describe about rainy season and crops
cultivated and instruments used
(traditional & modern technology).
• discuss rain water pollution and
common disease.
•Discuss on geometrical shape and
freehand sketch map drawing of
different size of crop field.

13. Inter-disciplinary Integration
Theme- Climate Change
• Concepts/skills from
different subjects for
strengthening a core
competency (পারদর্শিতা).
Comparison
Multidisciplinary Interdisciplinary
Linkages among
different
subjects
Different
outcomes from
different subject
angle.
Common
knowledge and
skills from
different
subjects.
Concepts from
different subject
areas are
arranged with a
connection of
real life
experience .

14. Benefits of Interdisciplinary learning

15. Transdisciplinary Integration ( beyond subject area )
• Main Principle of NCF 2005:
‘‘connecting knowledge to
life outside the school’’
• Interdisciplinary skills in
real life context.
• Expose student’s
experience to unlimited
scope of in and out of
school.
• Project based learning –
students learn the
concept through the
process of exploring and
solving the project.
• Learning by visiting local
market, participation in
school/ local social and
cultural function etc.

16. Integrated Approach of learning
teaching
Experiential Learning by active
participation
Problem-solving and decision
making in real life context
Emotional connection with the
subjects and holistic
development of students by
going beyond textbook
