THE ACTIVATOR VALANCES OF INTEGRATED
APPROACH TO THE PRIMARY SCHOOL
“The master argument for curricular integration is simply that life is not divided into subjects”. (James Moffett). One of the goals of the 21st century’s education is to bring school closer to real life, while placing the focus on building transferable competences, useful for students’ personal and social development. To integrate means to make connections, to coordinate, to blend, so that the final result reflects harmoniously the various components and provides a holistic vision of the topic of study. The interdisciplinary approach to education crosses the barriers of individual fields of study, and the contribution of each subject is paramount for a unitary perspective over any proposed theme. Integrated teaching and learning are prerequisites for the development of personalities perfectly adaptable to today’s society.
