Abstract:
This paper addresses the "integrated curriculum" strategy being used in K-12 education to see if adult career and technical education might benefit from a similar approach. The integrated curriculum combines academic and technical content in programs that focus on problem solving, active engagement in projects and real-world applications of the knowledge and skills taught. The authors conclude that three approaches are promising: course integration, cross-curriculum integration, and program integration. Extensive references.
