34. • generally refers to any putting together or
relating of things, either conceptually or
organizationally
• occurs when content drawn from one subject
is used to enrich the teaching of another or
when skills learned in one subject are used to
process or apply information learned in
another
• provides engaging experiences in which
students encounter essential content in
multiple and meaningful contexts.
Definition of Integration
34
Professionalism ⬥ Integrity ⬥ Excellence ⬥ Service
34
35. • The process of integration is not just a
matter of identifying entry points in the
curriculum or has been the traditional
practice, but it means looking at the
concepts (e.g. HIV/AIDS) as integral to the
curriculum.
• Integration, therefore, does not mean
infusion of concepts ( i.e. from the outside
in) but surfacing ( i.e. from the inside out)
that which is considered integral or a
natural part of the curriculum.
Premise of Integration
35
Professionalism ⬥ Integrity ⬥ Excellence ⬥ Service
35
36. • Integrative teaching mirrors the real
world, and the real world is not divided
into disciplines.
• Integrative teaching provides
connections among subject areas so
that students can better understand
that their learning has application to
real life, that learning is not just
isolated bits of fact in a vacuum.
• Integrative teaching can help teachers
surmount the problem of the
overcrowded curriculum.
