Primary National Curriculum: Cross-Curricular Learning

Introduction In this subject, I will explain the positioning of the following subjects in major national courses: geography, history, sports, religious education, theater and music. I chose these subjects because I gained experience in educational arrangements and university seminars in this field. Furthermore, analyze the use of cross-curriculum learning in primary education and explore the advantages and challenges of this approach.

The theme of the play itself does not exist in the elementary school curriculum, but exists as part of English or R.E, or provides other areas and cross curriculum themes. Although there is no drama in the elementary school curriculum, it is still presented through drama education activities and courses. "... Many elementary schools include dramas in the curriculum, I do not know that the activities that children participate in are actually dramas." (Mobile Art, 2010)

The content of intercultural education is based on the elementary school curriculum. Therefore cross-cultural education can be handled in a cross curriculum, including all subject areas. Interdisciplinary intercultural content integration provides children with a more consistent and richer learning experience. Also, if children are integrated not through fragmentary or "one-off" methods, but throughout the subject area and the school's lifetime, the chances of acquiring appropriate attitudes and values ​​increases I will.

Rowley and Cooper (2009) emphasizes the advantages of extracurricular lessons and subject integration. They believe that finding relevance between history and geography can provide exciting ways to make learning meaningful for children and learn about interrelated themes. They think that by crossing the boundaries of academic disciplines, children can encourage their ability to improve their inquiry abilities and demonstrate leadership. In addition, Barnes (2007) argues that through inter-faculty curriculum planning, teachers can make classroom expectations meaningful for children. When the subjects are integrated, he thinks that children can apply knowledge, understanding, and skills acquired to other subjects in a certain subject. Similarly, an independent review of elementary school curriculum by Rose (2009) promotes the importance of cross-curriculum education to improve children's learning.
