This presentation is about integrative teaching strategies, the mode of teaching strategies and steps of focusing inquiry

1. INTEGRATIVE TEACHING
Discussant: Maria Theresa Bicar - Edar

2. OBJECTIVES:
At the end of discussion we will able to:
A. define integrative teaching;
B. determine the types and mode of integrative teaching strategies
; and
C. apply the steps of inquiry process.

3. General overview:
Success in the teaching learning process is always attributed
to the creativity of the teacher. Learners vary greatly in terms
of learning modes, learning style, learning style references
and cognitive style. Integrated teaching involves combining
academic subjects to teach around a specific topic. The idea
is that students will learn more when they see how the topic
connects to different areas in curriculum.

4. Definition of terms
Isolate – to set apart from others or far away from others.
Anchored – something that serves to hold the an object firmly; to
secure firmly
Excerpt – (n) a passage selected, performed or copied; (v) to take or
publish extract from something (such as a book)
Coherence – (n) systematic or logical connection or consistency
Linking – to couple or connect by
concurrent – operating or occurring at the same time.

5. Motive Question
How students understand when we teach the subjects in
isolation from one another?

7. Integrative Teaching – is a well organized anchored on
real life situation that include learners interests and needs
creating a variety of meaningful activities and learning
experiences. It paves the way to connecting what is
learned in school to real life world rather than isolated
facts and information.

TYPES OF
INTEGRATION
Within the
subject area
intradisciplinary
Between the
subjects areas
Multidisciplinary interdisciplinary
Beyond subject
areas
transdisciplinary

Multidisciplinary integration
- The subject area outcomes remain
distinct, but due to some meaningful
linkages they are connected together
during the process of transactions.

INTEGRATION

11. Interdisciplinary integration – is a process of integrating the interdependent
or common knowledge and skills from more than one subject areas during
transaction process.

13. Integration beyond subject areas or trans-disciplinary integration
- Is a process where the students day to day experiences are
connected to different subject areas to acquire knowledge and skills.

14. Three Modes of Integrative Teaching Strategies
1. Content-Based Instruction
2. Thematic teaching
3. Focusing Inquiry

15. Content-Based Instruction – also known as language
curriculum. Is the integration of content learning with the
language teaching aims. Refers to the concurrent study of
language and subject matter with the format sequence of
language presentation dictated by content material.

16. Focusing Inquiry – interdisciplinary approach that uses questions to
organize learning. Student-centered and teacher-guided instructional
approach that engages students in investigating real world questions.
Inquiry-based learning – is a process where students are involved in their
learning, formulate questions, investigate widely and then build new
understanding, meanings and knowledge.

1.Frame

3. Help
learners

2.Present a

18. Teaching Strategies for Inquiry Process
Low Level Process
• Recalling
• Observing
• Comparing / Contrasting
• Classifying
• Defining
• Interpreting
• Generalizing
High Level Process
• Inferring
• Hypothesizing
• Predicting
• Analyzing
• Evaluating

19. Thematic Teaching – provides a broad framework for linking
content and process from a variety of discipline.
Provides coherence
Gives focus to the
activities
Helps learners see
meaningful connections
Links ideas to actions
and learning to life
THEME

20. Integrated Unit Design - identifies a major concepts with topics
from different subjects webbed around the theme.

21. Steps for the Integrated Unit Design (Thematic Teaching)
1. Decide on a unit theme that will allow all group members to enter to
the integration process or will allow all subject areas to join.
2. Identify a major concept to serve as a “common thread” for all the
subject areas.
3. Brainstorm and list generalizations that will be derived form the
study of the theme.
4. Brainstorms some of the “essential understanding” that would
expect learners to derived from the study.

22. 6. List processed (complex performance) and bullet key skills to be
emphasized in a unit instruction and activities.
7. For each subject area, write instructional activities to engage
learners with essential questions and processes.
8. Write the culminating performance to show the depth of learning.
9. Design the scoring guide (rubric – criteria and standard) to asses the
performance task. Additional types of assessment may be used to measure
progress throughout the unit.
5. Brainstorm “essential questions” to facilitate study toward the
essential understanding.

23. COMPREHENSION CHECK
TRUE OR FALSE
1) Integrative teaching strategy is a well organized strategy anchored on real life situation
that include learners interest and needs creating a variety of meaningful activities and
learning experiences.
2) Transdisciplinary integration is a process where the students day to day experiences
are connected to different subject areas to acquire knowledge and skills.
3) Content-Based Instruction (CBI) is the integration of content learning with language
teaching aims.
4) Integrated Unit Design identifies a major concepts with topics from different subjects
webbed around the theme.
5) Thematic Teaching provides a broad framework for linking content and process from a
variety of disciplines.

24. 6) Focusing Inquiry is an interdisciplinary approach that uses questions to organize
learning.
7) Students will learn more when they see how the topic connects to different areas of the
curriculum.
8) Inquiry-based learning is a process where students are involved in their learning,
formulate questions, investigate widely and then build new understanding, meanings
and knowledge
9) CBI or content-based instruction is also known as language curriculum.
10. Multidisciplinary is a process of integrating the interdependent or common knowledge
and skills from more than one subject areas during transaction process.
