Book Description
Adventures in Integrative Education is a practical and easily accessible guidebook that tells both why and shows how teachers of the primary grades can meet core curriculum goals while providing the expressive, physical, and social requirements for whole child learning. Integrative Education is highly successful, but few teachers can make time for the extensive lesson design and preparation it requires. This book and companion multimedia platform, The Blue Alligator Blues and Other Video Songs, provide the means for presenting and integrating information into a workable system for learning. The video songs provide easily adaptable activities that enhance literacy for learners with diverse abilities and needs. Jan Magray has eloquently and insightfully captured a desperate need in our society to make education exciting and accessible to all children. This educator has created a format that allows for this method of learning to be easily incorporated into mainstream curriculum. Kara Salomon, M.A., Behavioral Therapist and Special Needs Educator. Magray has a knack for presenting an easy to use and much needed solution while explaining its value. A true gem of a book. Sylvia Rockwell, former Assistant Professor of Education at St. Leo University.

Book Description
Curriculum integration often faces criticisms by educators as being unnecessary or a passing fad. But for education to keep up with the changing world and combat current problems, curriculum integration must be used. As the world becomes more complex and researchers find out more about learning, it is evident that forming connections between curriculum is important. To develop integrated curriculum, educators must decide to begin the process, leave behind traditional curriculum planning, struggle, find reward, and share experiences. Overcoming resistance, planning, and identifying interested parties are important steps in curriculum integration. These steps are followed by deciding what form the integration should take, and how, where, and over how much time it should be done. Three frameworks are used to create integrated curriculum: multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary. Teaching strategies used in curriculum integration include themes, projects, problem-based learning, science, and student as researcher. Chapters include: "Exploring the Process,""The Call to Adventure,""Leaving the Past Behind,""The Struggle to Change,""Three Frameworks,""New Beginnings,""Returning to the World," and "Hearing the Next Call." (Contains 39 references.) (JPT)

Book Description
Current teaching, learning and assessment practices can lead students to believe that courses within a programme are self-sufficient and separate. Integrative Learning explores this issue, and considers how intentional learning helps students become integrative thinkers who can see connections in seemingly disparate information, and draw on a wide range of knowledge to make decisions. Written by international contributors who engaged reflectively with their teaching and their students’ learning, the book seeks to develop a shared language of integrative learning, encouraging students to adapt skills learned in one situation to problems encountered in another, and make autonomous connections across courses, between experiences, and throughout their lives. More informed teachers can help students develop the necessary attributes for intentional learning, which include having a sense of purpose, fitting fragmentary information into a ‘learning framework’, understanding something of their own learning processes, asking probing questions, reflecting on their own choices, and knowing when to ask for help. Integrative Learning draws on international research and vast studies to provide the reader with the resources to ensure access to a unified learning experience. The book discusses conceptual and technical tools necessary for facilitating integrative learning across a range of disciplines as well as providing learning pedagogies and considers integrative learning in the context of the relevance of higher education in the complexity and uncertainty of the 21st century. It will appeal to academics and researchers in the field of higher education, as well as those generating higher education curriculums.

Book Description
Education is a process to change the behavior of an individual in the society and his surrounding, through teaching and guiding as the fundamental activity among other activities in the community. This definition stresses on the change of behavior from bad to good, from minimum to maximum from potential to actual and from passive to active. All the changes are through the teaching process, which does not end at the level of individual, but up to the level of society. In this sense, the educational process will enhance individual as well as social piety. Islamic education on the other hand, can be defined as all efforts to educate and develop individual self and his human resources for a perfect person. This definition is in accordance with the view of Islam on the real meaning of education, that is to actualize a person who has strong faith in Allah the Almighty and at the same time, he is able to keep in balance his pious relationship with his God and fellow being positively as well as constructively. Islamic education is an education which has fundamental principles like independent methods, learning based on self-reliance, freedom in teaching, self-study, special attention on children, encouraging the skill and potencies of the student, appreciation of the students' intelligence, teaching through suitable approaches, kind guidance, and softness. Islamic education focuses on the behavior education, giving special attention on the development of skill in oratory, reasoning and speech presentation, reading enrichment on the classical Islamic book and consistent in learning, research and teaching which all are based on long life education. Meanwhile, the aim of Islamic education is personality construction, educating the mind and heart, nourishing the potencies, inhabits good conduct and preparing the child to be sincere and clean in mind and heart based on the teaching of Islam. The whole activities and the subjects taught at the process of education should be tahdhibul akhlaq (etiquette construction). The author in this book tries to describe the foundation of integrated education based on the light of al-Qur'an and Prophetic Tradition. The elaboration of its nature also includes the basic principle, curriculum and method of this institution. In the end of narration, the book explains vividly the historical studies on its ideal model that developed significantly through the passage of times.

Book Description
This current Research Topic does not derive directly from Boyer’s Model of Scholarship, but nonetheless represents a well-timed exploration and example of where higher education has progressed in bringing the innovative, integrative conceptualization of higher education scholarship and practice laid out by Boyer, to realization through the growing arena of undergraduate public health programs. At the same time, the authors included here were invited to specifically address a second arena of scholarly practice associated with additional elements of Boyer’s legacy, effective High-Impact Practices (HIPs) - practices that engage students, faculty and often broader communities in integrative learning that connect academic and extra-academic learning environments. Undergraduate public health programs are perfectly positioned to provide a framework for integrated learning through High-Impact Practices. Such practices encompass not only the essential learning outcomes that employers continue to demand – critical thinking, working with diverse others, written and oral communications, ethics, analysis, etc. – but also a curriculum that is scaffolded and replete with opportunities to practice and enhance performance and application of knowledge and abilities to important personal, social and global challenges and needs.
