Cross-Curricular Learning 3-14
- Jonathan Barnes - Canterbury Christ Church University, UK
Revised and updated to reflect current curriculum policy and contemporary research, this second edition includes:
" an overview of current curriculum developments, and the implications for cross-curricular approaches
" updated coverage of cross-curricular planning and best practice
" a range of new case studies across the 3-14 age range exploring the practical application of cross-curricular and creative approaches to teaching
" Expanded coverage of sociological and social psychological theories of learning.
This book is essential reading for students on teacher education courses across the 3-14 age range, and practising teachers considering cross-curricular approaches to learning.
'Although Barnes shows how the principles for cross-curricular learning are based on research it is a very practical book...This book would be a very valuable source of ideas for discussions with the teaching staff'
-Dennis Fox (Nottinghamshire Association of Governors), Governing Matters
'Inspiring, engaging and thought provoking, this book represents a rich professional resource for principled and reflective educators who want to develop a holistic, values centred approach to learning. Packed with creative examples and young people’s voices as well as intriguing visuals, this highly accessible yet scholarly text is a real gem' -
Teresa Cremin, Professor of Education,
The Open University
'Barnes gives an overview of educational policies that refer to cross-curricular learning. In this new edition, this chapter has been enriched immensely by incorporating recent reports, such as the Rose and Alexander reviews...another one of the many strong features of this book (and why it would be enormously suitable for Teacher Trainees and CPD working parties) are the 'Key questions for discussion''
-Rene Koglbauer, Learning and Teaching Update
This book will provide additional supplemental material for students on our UG Course
an excellent core text to support both early years and teacher trainig
This book is more suitable for degree courses in the education sector. It is a useful supplement for level 3 courses to extend student learning and development to prepare them for the level of text required for University.
An informative and clearly presented book which is easy to read and covers a range of topics in the curriculum, research, psychology and theory into practice.
An excellent book which is easily accessible and enables teachers to think about how they can build and develop cross curricular work into their teaching and planning. I use this with student teachers when exploring cross-curricular and outside of the classroom learning.
This is a recommended text for our cross-curricular humanities course.
A fantastic overview of cross curricular approaches to learning- well grounded in theory.
I will be adding this text to my supplementary reading list for a module on our BSc Education single and combined programmes called Curriculum Design - as part of that module we look at various curriculum design issues and hence the area of cross-curricular design is usefully covered by this text across a broad age spectrum. We also have modules whereby students go out into schools and other learning environments to gain experiential learning as well as PGCE programmes and hence this text will clearly be useful for several of our modules on our Education programmes and also for our PGCE students.
Whilst this title does not relate to a key area of focus on our course, we are keen to promote cross curricular learning (primarily from the point of view of literacy across the curriculum as this relates to the specialism of our course). A new title in this area is welcome.
