We, as a school, are constantly looking for new ways to help the students to adopt whatever learned into their practical life. We look for ways to help students make sense of the multitude of life’s experiences and bits and pieces of knowledge gained from traditionally departmentalized curriculum. In the fast-moving pace of the world, not only students but even teachers are left disconnected when talking about learning. There is a strong push to involve students in their learning, to set free their imaginations, to let them create their own understandings, to encourage critical thinking and to increase responsibility in schooling. Therefore, the integrated curriculum translates this theory into practice. A major driving force behind integrated teaching and learning is the belief that when themes, subjects, or projects are combined, students begin to see meaningful connections between the subject matter. Material then serves as a vehicle for learning rather than simply pieces of information. In addition to this, repetition of material from one subject to the next is essentially eliminated.
