The integrated approach incorporates the use of technologies and connects different subject lessons, allowing students to engage in activities relevant to real life. It aims to promote cooperative learning, develop values, foster creativity, and prepare students for multiple career opportunities through evaluating learning. Some advantages include exploring information in a challenging and fun way, engaging in purposeful learning, and using prior experiences to provide meaning. The success of this approach depends on teachers providing appropriate tasks catered to the learning environment.

Integrated Approach • Integrating the use of technologies in curriculum subjects Examples: videos, internet, flashcards • Incorporating one subject with the lesson of the same subject (interdisciplinary) or connects it to the subjects (muldisciplinary) Examples: English and culinary, English and commerce • Leaner-centered orientation -allows students to engage in relevant and meaningful activities that can be connected to real life Objectives • To promote cooperative learning • To help develop sense of values • To foster creativity • To prepare students with multiple job opportunities • To help evaluate learning Advantages • Allows students to explore multiple information in more challenging and fun way • Allows students to engage in relevant and purposeful learning • Expands students’ views about the world • Students able to use their prior experiences to provide meaning • Provide cross-cultural sharing • Opportunities for students to display competence The success of this approach depends on the ability of teachers to provide appropriate tasks that cater the needs of the learning environment Characteristics of Integrated Aprroach • Learner-cantered curriculum related task • Open-ended tasks that promotes problem-solving and critical thinking • Contextualised activities • Tasks that fosters collaborative learning • Expands and stimulates thinking Learning Approaches via ICT integration • Project-based learning • Task-based learning • Collaborative learning • Problem-based learning Teachers’ Roles • Acts a facilitator during learning process • Provide suitable meaningful learning task that cater the students’ needs • Provide open-ended tasks to promote problem-solving which requires higher-thinking order skills • Provide tasks that enhances collaborative and communicative skills • Tasks must be contextualised
