There are two parts that need to be done.
Each on a diferent word document.
PART ONE
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
In all of the liberal arts disciplines, there is a powerful energy that seeks to explore, create, and understand. Inquiry is at the foundation of that exploration and the channel for gaining new knowledge. This gets to the core idea of why teachers want to connect disciplines.
- How are inquiries conducted in different disciplines?
- What are the similarities and differences between how a scientist and a mathematician investigate a question versus how a sociologist or an anthropologist investigate a relevant question?
- What is the current thought about integrated studies?
- What are researchers saying about its importance?
PART TWO
Prepare a 1,750- to 2,450-word paper and discuss the advantages of integrated studies and inquiry-based integrated studies using your readings and research that you have done on your own and address the following:
- Why is it important to understand specific disciplines, their language, content, and context to apply to interdisciplinary inquiry?
- What are the similarities and differences between how natural sciences experts, humanities experts, writers, mathematicians, scientists, and artists conduct inquiry? How does this connect to elementary school students?
- What have we learned through the historical experiments in integrated curriculum? What commonalities, differences and questions emerged?
- Discuss current trends in integrated studies. Provide a real-world example of a school that is using one or more of the trends.
- Why is interdisciplinary inquiry important for the multiple-subject teacher?
