In response to the search for ways to create forms of schooling that are more holistic and natural, and more integrated and interwoven, this collection of articles pulls together elements of the multifaceted concept of curriculum integration. Divided into six sections, the chapters explore the reasons and rationale for moving toward more holistic models of learning, place the concept of curriculum integration in a historical perspective, and present practical models for planning an integrated curriculum as well as case studies of actual school programs. The chapters also explore the subtleties of the integration process, and present the divergent views of teachers and students.
