Presentation Topic:
Interdisciplinary projects: The implementation at
upper primary and junior secondary levels
Abstract:
With an emphasis on project learning, many schools are facing
the problem of the need to include projects in each subject. This incurs a
heavy workload on the students in having to complete a number of different
projects for various subjects in a school year. To address this problem,
schools may consider introducing interdisciplinary projects. This session
aims to introduce to teachers how to construct interdisciplinary projects
for upper primary and junior secondary students. It starts with an
analysis of related curriculum theories and arrives at principles for the
design of interdisciplinary projects. Examples for upper primary and
junior secondary levels will also be introduced. The session concludes
with a discussion on implementation issues and suggests ways to support
student learning as they work on interdisciplinary projects.
