Learning and Loving It. Theme Studies in the Classroom.
Gamberg, Ruth; And Others
Theme study is student centered and emphasizes a coherent and holistic approach to learning through the study of broad themes rather than compartmentalized subject areas. This book explains what is meant by a theme studies approach to education and illustrates how it works with case studies--descriptions of theme studies that were conducted at a Canadian elementary school. The stories of these classes and the commentary of the authors demonstrate how teachers can set up a theme studies program. (JD)
