Curriculum Integration in the eTwinning Project “ The Harmony of Nature ” by Iuliana Ciubuc and Mădălina Neagoe
Introduction Curriculum integration means making different subjects interact in order for the whole to be balanced . Quoting Lucian Ciolan , Dean of the Faculty of Sciences of Education , University of Bucharest , “ at curriculum level , integration means establishing clear relationships of convergence between the knowledge , the abilities , the competencies , the attitudes and the values pertaining to distinct school subjects .”
Curriculum integration means : combining educational objectives , content , methods , and procedures with particular reference to the planned curriculum – the learning experiences that the teachers aim for in their eTwinning projects . Curriculum integration is a strategy , not a purpose for the teachers in eTwinning . When planning , implementing and evaluating an eTwinning project with curriculum integration , the teachers and students are very clear in regard to their objectives , and they do consider that the proposed combination of curricula leads to the targeted aims .
Three independent objectives are usually perceived as satisfactory in eTwinning projects , as they appropriately justify curriculum integration .
• Recognising the complexity of the world
• Valuing the sea of knowledge
• Promoting greater efficiency
