Sse 201 Lesson 3b

The document discusses thematic teaching in basic education. Thematic teaching identifies a central theme that structures content across different subjects. It uses the same topic to develop teaching plans for multiple subjects that students are enrolled in. There are two models: the integrated multidisciplinary unit addresses a single discipline across subjects, while the integrated interdisciplinary unit provides cohesion across different disciplines. Planning involves selecting a topic, goals, learning objectives, instructional procedures, and assessments. Interdisciplinary teaching teams comprising multiple subject area teachers can work together to plan thematic units of study.

THEMATIC

TEACHING IN
BASIC
EDUCATION
Thematic Teaching

It starts with the


identification of a theme, the
underlying concept that allows for
the structure and organization of
specific content across disciplines.
A theme is the topic of interest
that provides the core for group
activities.
Thematic Units

Thematic means that the


same topic is used to develop the
teaching plan(content and
instruction) for each of the
different subjects in which
students are enrolled.
Two Models of Thematic Units

1. The integrated multidisciplinary


thematic unit.

2. The integrated interdisciplinary


thematic unit.
Both approaches use the
following steps in planning
instruction (Kellough).

a. Select a suitable topic or theme.


b. Select the goals of the unit.
c. Select suitable specific learning
objectives.
d. Detail the instructional
procedures.
e. Plan for pre-assessment and
assessment of student learning.
f. Provide for the materials of
instruction.
Integrated Multidisciplinary
Thematic Unit
This modification of
multidisciplinary teaching unit
which addresses a single
discipline. This attempts to
provide two or more disciplines in
one single approach.
Integrated
Interdisciplinary Thematic
Unit
This unit gives a sense of
cohesiveness and structure to
student learning and avoids to
piecemeal approach that might
otherwise unfold.
Friegberg (2000) points that
interdisciplinary units can help achieve the
following objective:
1.Emphasize that the process of learning
is sometimes best pursued as an
interconnected whole rather than as a
series of specific subjects.
2.Encourage students to work
cooperatively in partnership and in small
groups that focus on the social value of
learning.
3. Teach students to be independent
problem solvers and thinkers.
4. Assist students to develop their own
individual interests and learning styles.
5. Help students find out what they need
to know and what they need to learn
rather than always expecting the teacher
to give it to them.
Interdisciplinary Teaching Teams

Comprising Interdisciplinary
Teaching teams on the school-
based level could be two or five
teachers from different subject
areas working together to plan the
units of study.
