ANALYSIS:
1.) Describe your experience in integrating yourself with others.
- In integrating myself to others, it is important to value my own characteristics and values while also
considering views and opinions of others.
2.) What have you gained from involving yourself with differed integrated groups?
- By involving myself from different integrated groups, I learned that studens have different weaknesss
and strengths. I learned that it's not righ tto criticize others just because you are good at something that
they do not.
5.)What can you say about the activity? What can you suggest for further improvement of the next
activity?
- The activity clearly illustrates the concept of integrated curriculum and it is well illustrated that the
student can get an idea about the topic just from the activity.
APPLICATION:
Direction: Write your learning concepts on four types of curriculum integration on the four corners
below.
Curriculum Integration
Theme-Based
Concept: Theme-Based Curriculum Integration is a more intensive way of working with a theme. Often,
3 or more subject areas are involved in the study, and the unit ends with a culminating activity.
Application: For example, with Preschool students, on theme might focus on the color red where
students discuss, experience and manipulate red things in different contexts during the day.
Topic-Based
Concept: Topic-Based Learning involves combining many curriculum subjects (such as Science, Art,
Geography and History) to allow students to explore subject matter at a greater depth and to make
better connections between different areas of learning.
Application: One application of thi9s is by teaching a main topic, while integrating same few knowledge
with other subjects which concerns the main topic.
Project-Based
Concept: Students are presented with a problem or issue strongly connected to the world beyond the
classroom. In the process of exploring and engaging with the issue, students learn content and skills
because they are needed in order to solve the problem or address the issue.
Application: Students will be given an activity to Bake a cookie using only heat from the sun. Because
the Teacher isn't providing all of the information and directing their work, students have to ask
questions tha require them to learn inofrmation about heat energy, reflective surfaces, heat transfer
and much more.
Task-Based
Concept: A range of tasks undertaken by the Teacher are identified, and these are used as the focus of
learning. Students have responsibility integrating their learning round the tasks as they move though a
range of attachements in different disciplines.
Application: One example is on a medical school, students are given the task to mange a patient with
abdominal pain. While this task is being doen, the Teacher now guides and teaches the students. Then it
is now the responsibility of the student to integrate these learnings in different disciplines.
2. What are the different approaches, models and types of curriculum integration?
- The Three Approaches for Curriculum Integration are Multidisciplinary, Interdisciplinary and
Transdisciplinary.
Methods of Curriculum Integration are:
Project-Based Learning
Service Learning
Learning Centers / Parallel Disciplines
Theme-Based
Fusion
Topic-Based
Task-Based
Other Types of Integrated Curriculum
Connected
Sequenced
Shared
Webbed
3. How can you apply integration along with multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary
approaches?
- The outline of the different approaches can be integrated around a theme. Once u have a theme the
various subjects can be integrated into a lesson such as Music, Drama, Physical Education, Art,
Mathematics and Home Language. The Approach allows us to integrate real life situations which require
knowledge of several different subjects. During the use of this approach it encourages students to apply
their prior and future knowledge in a more interactive and hands on approach.
4.Which curriculum integration approach would best suit to the different types of learners in diverse
classroom contexts?
- Human approach. Since learning exists personal to each individual, every classroom will become a
multi-diverse life-learning setting, and, such learning diversity will continue throughout the lifetime of all
individuals.
Task 2. Direction: Make a lesson plan using thematic integration with related disciplines. Use the
format template sample provided below.
