Product Description

Review

'At a time when cross-curricular teaching is being explored and encouraged in a way that has not happened for a generation, Trevor Kerry's book is not only welcome and timely but thought-provoking and helpful. We should welcome this excellent contribution to the field.' - Professor Mark Brundrett, Liverpool John Moores University, UK, Editor of Education 3-13: International Journal of Primary, Elementary and Early Years Education 'Creative teachers, heads and teacher-educators seeking to offer children the best opportunities for quality, relevant learning, where problem-solving and purposeful thinking are more important than the acquisition of subject-related facts, will welcome this thought-provoking book.' 'The authors use sound historical, theoretical and practical examples to propose an interdisciplinary holistic approach to a pedagogy - underpinned by a professional philosophy - which will benefit all involved in the learning process.' - Pam Dowson, Primary teacher, teacher-educator at the University of Cambridge, UK, and author of The Really Useful Creativity Book 'Brings together the essential principles of a cross- curricular approach and links theory to practice in an accessible format.' - Liz Hunt, Principal Norland College, Bath, UK

&quote;
In integrated studies lessons, which used cross-curricular approaches, the higher-order task demand rose on average to 41 per cent. In other words, learning was deeper and more effective in lessons where subject content was cross-curricular than in lessons where it was organised simply by subject discipline. &quote;

This theory takes us to a third Plowden principle: that of discovery (para. 549), in contrast with subject-based and content-driven didactic approaches. &quote;

Knowledge falls naturally into domains called subjects which are bounded by specific kinds of conceptual thinking, specific ways of constructing knowledge that fit the content of the subject, and by procedures that are specific to that content. &quote;
