https://doi.org/10.11575/jet.v27i3.52336Abstract
In this essay I examine past research into integrated or interdisciplinary studies and explore future directions for researchers. Four questions form the focus of the essay: Why integrate curriculum? What constitutes integrated studies? Who benefits from curricular integration? and What pedagogical changes accompany integrated studies? Citing the values questions raised by curricular integration, I predict an unstable future for interdisciplinary studies. The essay calls for a research agenda that moves beyond traditional process/product investigations to include the meanings of teachers, students, and others participating in integrated studies.
