1. Integrated Curriculum - An integrated curriculum is described as one that connects different areas of
study by cutting across subject-matter lines and emphasizing unifying concepts. Integration focuses on
making connections for students, allowing them to engage in relevant, meaningful activities that can
be connected to real life. Integration: the unification of all subjects and experiences.
Integrative ladder
a. integrate
b. interconnect
c. make all the pieces fit
d. make the long way learning worthwhile
e. make learning more meaningful
4. Interdisciplinary - studies involves the combining of two or more academic disciplines into one activity
(e.g., a research project). It draws knowledge from several other fields like sociology, anthropology,
psychology, economics etc. It is about creating something by thinking across boundaries.
- This type of study allows the student to learn by making connections between ideas and concepts across
different disciplinary boundaries. Students learning in this way are able to apply the knowledge gained in one
discipline to another different discipline as a way to deepen the learning experience. The most effective
approach to interdisciplinary study enables students to build their own interdisciplinary pathway by choosing
courses which make sense to them. For example, it is not too difficult to find a theme which crosses over
disciplinary boundaries in literature, art and history or science and mathematics. Studying topics thematically
is one way to bring ideas together resulting in more meaningful learning. This can occur by allowing students
to choose their own subjects and their learning is deepened when they reflect on the connections between
what they are learning in different disciplines.
6. Team Teaching - involves a group of instructors working purposefully, regularly, and cooperatively
to help a group of students of any age learn. Teachers together set goals for a course, design a syllabus,
prepare individual lesson plans, teach students, and evaluate the results. All arrangements that include
two or more faculty in some level of collaboration in the planning and delivery of a course.
Types of Team Teaching
Team teaching includes a number of different approaches. Some of the more common are
Interactive team teaching – two faculty members present in front of the class simultaneously.
Rotational format team teaching – faculty alternate teaching the class. This rotational format has a
number of variations depending on the subject matter and the number of faculty involved.
Participant-observer team teaching – all participating faculty are present for all the classes, but only
one is “teaching” at a time. Roles that the other teachers could play as participating observer(s) are
model learner, observer, panel member, or resource (Klein, 1990).
Team coordination – faculty arrange and integrate a curriculum so as to maximize learning and
connections using paired or linked courses, an integrated cluster of independent courses, or freshman
interest groups (McDaniels and Colarulli, 1997). Though not necessarily team teaching per se, this
curriculum-level approach to interdisciplinarity can help to achieve some of the expected gains of team
teaching.
7. Thematic Teaching - (also known as thematic instruction) is the selecting and highlighting of a theme
through an instructional unit or module, course, multiple courses. It is often interdisciplinary,
highlighting the relationship of knowledge across academic disciplines and everyday life.
8. Makabayan - a new learning area that interegrates several subjects with the goal of helping each
Filipino to develop healthy personal and national identity.
9. Instructional Objective - are specific, measurable, short-term, observable student behaviors. They
indicate the desirable knowledge, skills, or attitudes to be gained. An instructional objective is the focal
point of a lesson plan
Classification - the act or process of classifying systematic arrangement in groups or categories
according to established criteria
specifically : TAXONOMY
preparation - the action or process of making ready or being made ready for use or consideration.
