Trampolines in math class, soccer in Spanish class, and capture the flag in history class? Sounds like a fun way to learn, doesn't it? It is! The joy of correlating physical activity and movement across all course ranges is one reason why interdisciplinary teaching is one of the most successful forms of teaching. What is interdisciplinary teaching? Interdisciplinary teaching is a style of teaching that integrates two or more subjects into a lesson plan. For example, by correlating math with science, language arts with physical education, history with music, whatever subjects correlate with other subjects in a student's curriculum, the goal of this puzzle piece teaching method is to improve everyone's learning experience, abilities and knowledge. study areas (Cone). According to the authors of Intergraduate Elementary Physical Education, one cannot simply relate one subject to another subject without planning it; it is necessary to find a central theme, question, problem, process, topic or experience to link two or more subjects together (Jacobs, 1989). Now, focusing mainly on elementary physical education, it is significantly beneficial for elementary school students to enter a gym class and learn about math, science, history, language arts, or any other course that fits into their youth curriculum. The reason is that the average elementary school student always waits for this time of day to go running and play games with their friends. Let's be real, what kid doesn't want to go outside to play ball or go to the gym to shoot basketball? Knowing that physical education teachers will hopefully receive the most attention and support from these young students, he now has the power to use this attention potentially...... in the middle paper...... to increase the number of successes. with all areas. The three models that teachers use, connected, shared, and partnered, to teach in an interdisciplinary form determine the simplicity or complexity of the skill, topic, or concept that the teacher(s) teach their students. In my eyes, I believe that all subjects at all levels of education should integrate this style of teaching into their programs to benefit from the full success and potential of each student.
