"In These Shoes Is the Silent Call of the Earth": Meditations on Curriculum Integration, Conceptual Violence, and the Ecologies of Community and Place.

Jardine, David W.; LaGrange, Annette; Everest, Beth

Canadian Journal of Education, v23 n2 p121-30 Spr 1998

Explores some current concepts of curriculum integration, and proposes some alternatives to the conceptual violence often done in the name of curriculum integration. What is lost in many efforts in curriculum integration is the "topography" of any particular thing. Curriculum integration should rely on relationships that already exist and not force connections in the name of integration. (SLD)
