3. Transdisciplinary
An Integrated curriculum is described as one that connects
different areas of study by cutting across subject matter
lines and emphasizing, unifying concepts.
- An approach to curriculum integration
which focuses primarily on the different
disciplines. Teachers who employ this
approach may create standards from the
disciplines within a theme.
When a teachers integrates sub discipline
within subject area, he or she is
practicing interdisciplinary approach.

- It engages students in creating
knowledge while enhancing their skills in
critical thinking, creativity, collaboration,
communication, reasoning, synthesis and
resilience (Schneiderman, et. al, 1998 in
corpus, 2014).
-It refers to learning that actively involves
students in a wide range of experiences,
which often benefit others and the
community, while also advancing the goals
of a given curriculum. Community-based
service activities are paired with
structured preparation and student
reflection.
- A popular way to integrate the curriculum is to
address a topic or theme through the lenses of
several subject areas. In an elementary classroom,
students often experience this approach at learning
centers. As a students move through the learning
centers to complete the activities, they learn about
the concept being studied through the lenses of
various disciplines.
- Some teachers go beyond sequencing content
and plan collaboratively and they do it in
more intensive way of working with a theme
dubbed as “theme-based.” Often, three or more
subject areas are involved in the study, and
the unit ends with a integrated culminating
activity.
- In this method, teachers fuse skills,
knowledge, or even attitudes into the regular
school curriculum. In some schools, students
learn respect for the environment in every
subject area or some incorporate values across
disciplines. Fusion can involve basic skills.
FIVE LEVEL OF INTEGRATION CURRICULUM
ARE DEFINED AS:
1. Connected/Departmentalized
2. Sequenced/Parallel
3. Complementary/shared units
4. Webbed
5. Integrated Themes
- This approach is the traditional model
of separate and distinct disciplines taught
in isolation from each other. Students
travel to six or seven subjects a day, each
not conceptually connected to other.
- Topics or units of study are rearranged
and sequenced to coincide with one
another. Similar ideas are taught in
concert while remaining separate
subjects. The content itself does not
necessarily change, only the order in
which it happens.
- Related disciplines are brought together
in a formal unit to investigate a theme or
issue. Shared planning and teaching take
place in two or more disciplines in which
overlapping concepts or ideas emerge as
organizing elements.
- Connections or webs, are made between
curriculum contents and disciplines
relative to a productive theme; subjects
use the theme to sift out appropriate
concepts, topics, and ideas sometimes
called Interdisciplinary units.
- Although themes for study can be, and
often are, imposed on students by
teachers and others, the most successful
integrated themes are generated by
students, based on their personal and
social concerns.
Chhabra(2017) posited that integrating curriculum in
the classroom includes combining different subject areas
and then, teaching them in relation to a singular theme or
an idea. Innovative teachers and schools prefer integrating
the curriculum in their classrooms as it improves student
achievement and leads to an increase in student
standardized scores. Placing student achievement on top
priority, an integrated curriculum utilizes the mentioned
three different approaches of integration.
1. It focuses on basic skills, content, and higher-level
thinking.
2. It provides a deeper understanding of content.
3. It encourages active participation in relevant real-life
experiences.
4. It provides connections among various curricular
disciplines.
5. It accommodates a variety of learning styles, theories
and multiple intelligences.
The new literacy can be integrated into the K to
12 curriculum across subject areas as presented in
the table below. However, the integration of new
literacy is not limited to the identified disciplines,
the given learning outcomes, suggested strategies
and assessment. In fact, each learning area can
integrate as many new literacies as possible
depending on the lesson, the nature of the subject
and the objectives or intended outcomes. New
literacy integration can take place in as many
disciplines as possible.

 Curriculum integration is the unification of all subjects and experiences.
 Multidisciplinary approaches focus primarily on the disciplines organized around a
theme.
 In an intradisciplinary approach, teachers integrate sub disciplines within a subject
area for the students to understand the connections between the different sub
disciplines and their relationship to the real world.
 In an interdisciplinary integration, teachers organize the curriculum around common
learning across identifiable disciplines.
 In the practice of a transdisciplinary approach, teachers organize curriculum around
student questions and concerns while developing skills in a real-life context.
 Curriculum integration models include project-based, topic-based, theme-based and
task-based learning while other types of curriculum integration are called connected,
sequenced, shared and webbed.
 Considering its benefit, there is a need to implement an integrated curriculum model
in the classroom to respond to the demands and challenges posed by 21st century
education considering its benefits.
