This initial course focuses on the roots, reasons, characteristics, and politics of the integrated-learning paradigm. Topics include the historical evolution of both the separate-subject curriculum and the various integrated alternatives which have arisen in the past; the theories of learning and human development which support an integrated approach; the sociopolitical theories supporting curriculum integration; and the key ingredients of classroom curricular integration.
