What is Interdisciplinary/Cross-Curricular Teaching?

A cross-curricular competency or
Know how to learn? is an interrelated
set of attitudes, skills and knowledge
that are drawn upon and applied to a
particular context for successful learning
and living.

They are developed by every student, in


every grade and across every

Interdisciplinary/cross-curricular teaching is often seen as a way


to address some of the recurring problems in education, such as
fragmentation and isolated skill instruction. It is seen as a way
to support goals such as transfer of learning,

teaching students to think and reason, and providing a


curriculum more relevant to students (Marzano, 1991; Perkins,
1991).

Values and Benefits of


Interdisciplinary/Cross-Curricular Teaching

Applies, Integrates, and Transfers


Knowledge

.Interdisciplinary/cross-curricular teaching
provides a meaningful way in which
students can use knowledge learned in one
context as a knowledge base in other
contexts in and out of school
(Collins, Brown, & Newman, 1989).

Increases Motivation
Interdisciplinary/cross-curricular teaching can
increase students' motivation for learning and
their level of engagement.
In contrast to learning skills in isolation, when
students participate in interdisciplinary
experiences they see the value of what they
are learning and become more actively
engaged
(Resnick, 1989).

Improves Learning
Interdisciplinary/cross-curricular teaching provides the
conditions under which effective learning occurs.
Students learn more when:
They use the language arts skills to explore what they are
learning
Write about what they are learning
Interact with their classmates, teachers, and members of the
community
(Thaiss, 1986).

Importance of Context in Defining the


Cross-curricular Competencies
In the cross-curricular competencies framework, education is
considered to influence and be influenced by the context in which it
occurs.
That is, it takes place within the unique context of each students life,
occurring in interaction with the student's experiences outside the
classroom.
In this way, students' learning within the school system has the
potential to enrich their whole development, as that unfolds in their
school years and in preparation for their future lives and further
learning.

From this perspective, it is necessary both


to value the different contexts of
students' lives and learning environments
and to define competencies in a way that
is open to different cultural and social
interpretations.

The cross-curricular competencies are also assumed


to be sensitive to students' individual needs,
recognizing differences among learners in a way that
allows for personalization of learning.

Within this personalized model, the competencies are


seen as flexible and adaptable to the unique learning
style, needs, gifts and passions that each student
brings to the classroom.

Context will also influence the way the crosscurricular competencies are demonstrated in different
subject areas.
