Understandings
Teaching strategies are ways and means by which you implement a method.
These are used to help the students to achieve the desired learning outcomes by
learning the desired course content.
Integrative learning helps the students make connections and relevance
between and among subjects. It allows the learners to engage in purposeful, relevant
learning. It encourages the learners to see the interconnectedness and
interrelationships between the curriculum areas rather than focusing in isolated
curriculum areas.
According to Pigdon and Wooley (1992) in an integrated curriculum, all activities
contain opportunities for learners to learn more about content through purposeful
activities.
Higher Order Thinking Skills
Higher order thinking skills known also as HOTS imply that some types of
learning require higher cognitive processes than others. Skills in analyzing, evaluating
and creating are thoughts of higher order than learning facts or concepts.
