Cross Curricular Connections:
Integrated Learning


Integrated Learning
Visual learners- learn best by seeing


Integrated Learning
Kinesthetic learners- learn best by doing


Integrated Learning
Auditory learners - learn best by hearing


Integrated Learning
Auditory learners - learn best by hearing
Integrated learning is an instructional
strategy that draws elements from separate
disciplines to form a more complete learning
experience.

Integrated Learning:
Multiple Intelligences
Integrated learning allows students to
represent their ideas and knowledge
through a variety of ways and thus
honours the multiple intelligences of
students (Eisnmer,1991).
Spatial, Bodily-kinetic, Musical,
Linguistic, Logical-mathematical,
Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Naturalist


Benefits

Student learn more deeply by
approaching an area of study from
multiple perspectives.
Enhanced relevance.
Increased understanding.


Benefits
Increased student independence,
responsibility, self-direction, cooperative
skills.
Decreased behavioural problems.
Helped students to retain information.
Teaching becomes less directive and
more facilitative.
- (Cambell,1990)


Integrated Learning

“Kids must learn to think across disciplines,
since that’s where most new breakthroughs
are made. It’s the interdisciplinary
combinations - design and technology,
mathematics and art - that produce
YouTube and Google.”
-Time Magazine (2006). How to build a student for the 21st century
