 Concept Exploration

Innovative educators concerned with improving

student achievement seek ways to create rigorous,
relevant and engaging curriculum as a way to realize
curriculum integration

Today, the subjects in the curriculum should not be

taught singly and compartmentally but rather
integral towards total development of the child
The Concept of Integrated Curriculum

In retrospect, the introduction of an integrated

curriculum gained greatest support in the 1960s

Based on the essential organization of content, the

design emphasizes the role of diverse entities called
“academic disciplines” clearly defined in terms of
knowledge, skills and values
 The Concept of Integrated Curriculum

Thus, an integrated curriculum:

 Focuses on basic skills, content and higher-level

thinking
 Encourages lifelong learning
 Structures learning around themes; big ideas and
meaningful concepts
 Provides connections among various curricular
disciplines
 Provides learners opportunities to apply skills they
have learned
 The Concept of Integrated Curriculum

Thus, an integrated curriculum:

 Encourages active participation in relevant real-

life experiences
 Provides a deeper understanding of content
 Offers opportunities for more small group and
industrialized instruction; and
 Accommodates a variety of learning styles/theories
(i.e. social learning theory cooperative learning,
intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy) and multiple
intelligences
 Approaches to Integration

The Association for Supervision and

Curriculum Development (2004) presents
three approaches to integration and these
are multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary
and transdisciplinary
 Multidisciplinary Approach

A multidisciplinary focuses
primarily on the different
disciplines.

Teachers who employs this

approach may create standards
from the discipline within a theme.

 Multidisciplinary Approach

One good example of

multidisciplinary is the Restructured AP TLE
Basic Education Curriculum (RBEC)

For instance, the four disciplines Makabaya

(Araling Panlipunan, Values, n
MAPEH and TLE) were integrated
MAPEH Values
along with a theme termed
“Makabayan”
 Multidisciplinary Approach

Makabayan was a learning area that

stressed the development of social
awareness, empathy and commitment for AP TLE
common good
Makabaya
Grades in these four disciplines were n
usually computed to compromise the
general grade of Makabayan and also the MAPEH Values
disciplines collaborated to design a
culminating activity in the final week.
 Multidisciplinary Approach

When a teacher integrates sub disciplines

within a subject area, he/she is practicing Philippine
History
intradisciplinary approach.

For example, teachers often integrate Studies

 Multidisciplinary Approach

In using the multidisciplinary integration

approach, there is a need to organizes a Earth Science

Likewise, come up with a list of standards Progra

from related disciplines such as Earth Biolog Chemistr

science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics y

in a common intradisciplinary science

program
 Interdisciplinary Approach

In this approach of integration,

teachers organize and capsulize the
curriculum around common learning
across disciplines to emphasize
interdisciplinary skills and concepts.

The disciplines are identifiable, but

they assume less importance than in
the multidisciplinary.

 Interdisciplinary Approach

For example, in teaching Filipino as a

discipline, the teacher hones students’
language skills while resorting to content
and topics in Araling Panlipunan.
Skills Content:
: Araling
Therefore, there are times that a teacher Filipi Panlipuna
in Filipino teams up with a teacher in no n
Araling Panlipunan while she teachers Filipino
the needed skills in the Filipino 1 subject.
 Interdisciplinary Approach

In addition, in using interdisciplinary

integration, there is need to structure the
curriculum around common learning Thinking skills
areas across disciplines.
English,
For example, incorporate Science and
interdisciplinary skills, such as thinking Problem Math
Analytic
skills, problem solving and analytic skills Solving
skills
in teaching Science, Math and English.
 Transdisciplinary Approach

In the transdisciplinary approach to

integration, teachers design a
curriculum within students needs as
concerns.

Two routes lead to transdisciplinary

integration namely: project based
learning and negotiating the
curriculum .

 Transdisciplinary Approach

In using the transdisciplinary

approach, there is a need to plan out Subject Areas
the curriculum around student needs
Themes and Concepts
and concerns. Life Skills
Real-World Context
Community Integration
Transdisciplinary integration is Social Problems and Dilemmas
utilized through project-based Life Experiences
learning, which involves allowing the Student Questions

student to present a problem.

 Transdisciplinary Approach

Project-based learning allows

students to make connections among
different subjects by solving social
problems and answering open-ended
questions.

It can also be done by utilizing

student questions as a basis for
curriculum design
