Integrating Curriculum, NYCurriculum integration is important in teaching subjects and learning material. The integration of the program allows many different disciplines to be applied simultaneously, allowing more topics to be learned at the same time. But how does it work? The purpose of this article is to answer the question of how and shed light on the ideas of integrated curriculum. In curriculum integration, teachers teach more than one subject at the same time. A number of disciplines can be taught together. Science lessons can be integrated with math lessons and language lessons by finding common areas in which the three are linked. For example, if a teacher wants to teach a lesson about ecosystems, he or she might ask students to write in journals as a form of language art, graph the collected data, and consider that mathematics is part of their lesson, and to do an experiment. for the scientific part. According to Fogarty (1991), there are 10 models of curriculum integration which are fragmented, connected, nested, sequenced, shared, woven, threaded, integrated, immersed and networked. These models vary in options from integrating one topic to multiple topics in the student's mind. The fragmented curriculum focuses on the traditional model of teaching separate and distinct disciplines, which fragments subject areas. The connected curriculum connects areas by topic, by concept, by relationships between ideas, and by work from one year to the next. The nested curriculum targets different skills, such as social skills, thinking skills and content-specific skills, within each subject. In a sequenced program, topics or units are rearranged to coincide with each other. As part of a shared curriculum, shared...... middle of paper ......na taught in a Chicago elementary school, where strict integration guidelines were enforced. The school district has provided the teacher with the activities, resources, and regulations necessary to combine subjects. The problem is that not all regions/school districts provide these materials, requiring the teacher to integrate the programs themselves. This can be extremely difficult for the teacher. These ideas are taught to future teachers in colleges across the country. The changes taking place in education today emphasize the combination of programs and move away from the departmentalization of subjects, as was taught in the past. Isolating subjects does not allow learners to see the connections and relationships between the subject and the real world. Teachers collaborate with other teachers to enrich learning and create more well-rounded learners and better students..
