Going beyond textbook through integrated approach of learning teaching

discussion of the concept of integrated approach in learning teaching process and the way to go beyond of textbook .

1. Going beyond of textbook through Integrated Approach of learning teaching P.Rajak , DIET, Purulia

2. Why going beyond of textbook ? Kids learn in holistic way - e.g.- Observing a butterfly Not only vertical symmetrical Not only beautiful colours Not only an insect structure Not only Math/biology/ language Not to burden in different curricular area -

3. How going beyond of textbook ? Real issues ( not limited in textbook ) :- different Local issues Disaster Management: Tsunami – More relevant for South Indian kids

4. How going beyond of textbook ? connecting textbook with real life issue – ( not for exam preparation ) In this school No preventive action taken against malaria / dengue but textbook has detail information

5. How going beyond of textbook ? e.g.- School water tap not working Neighborhood news paper rail ticket observation day Different Resources

6. How going beyond of textbook ?

7. Integrated Approach in teaching learning process Situation : Filling water in water pot by children Learning – about used materials , cleaning & filtration to minimize germs, counting number of cans to fill the water pot Your Task - Here which subjects are integrated and what is the theme ?

8. Integrated Learning and Teaching Process include the followings

9. Types of Integration

10. Intra-disciplinary Integration Combining different concepts in a particular subject . Example- ‘ ’Living & non-living beings’’ on the basis of reproduction, movement , food etc. Example -Subject EVS of class-II Topic Learning Outcomes Process of Integrating Village festival (Integration of family with neighborhood ) Identify work of different family members & importance of neighborhood. Activities to help the family. What you see in village festival ? State name and work of your family members . Who helps you in your work and how you help others ?

11. Multi-disciplinary Integration df Linkages among different subjects regarding their LearningOutcomes . Example- Integration of Language, EVS and Mathematics Topic Learning Outcomes Process of Integrating The Story of Aaruni Language – Reading with correct pronunciation and describe the story EVS – Describe about different season and crops cultivated Mathematics – Geometric shape of crop field and measurement of water i.e. container Story telling method and inter group interaction and correction . Describe about rainy season and crops cultivated and instruments used (traditional & modern technology). discuss rain water pollution and common disease. Discuss on geometrical shape and freehand sketch map drawing of different size of crop field.

12. Inter-disciplinary Integration Theme- Climate Change Concepts/skills from different subjects for strengthening a core competency ( পারদর্শিতা ). Comparison Multidisciplinary Interdisciplinary Linkages among different subjects Different outcomes from different subject angle. Common knowledge and skills from different subjects. Concepts from different subject areas are arranged with a connection of real life experience .

13. Benefits of Interdisciplinary learning

14. Transdisciplinary Integration ( beyond subject area ) Main Principle of NCF 2005: ‘‘connecting knowledge to life outside the school’’ Interdisciplinary skills in real life context. Expose student’s experience to unlimited scope of in and out of school. Project based learning – students learn the concept through the process of exploring and solving the project. Learning by visiting local market, participation in school/ local social and cultural function etc.
