Thematic Instruction Academy Engagement The context: Based on John Dewey's philosophy of meaningful learning developed approximately a quarter century ago, Lipson et al. (1993) offer an underlying rationale for the use of thematic instruction: provides a valuable focus helps students understand what they are doing demonstrates coherent connections among disciplines that allow a transfer of learning from one context to another helps students to grasp the relation of content to process facilitates the acquisition of an integrated knowledge base School Renewal Through Thematic Instruction Thematic instruction involves the planning of instructional units based on a central theme. Following the identification of the theme, curricular areas and activities are meaningfully connected to the chosen theme. Instruction is couched within the most logical context. An emphasis is placed on seeing the "big picture," or examining larger ideas embedded in the curriculum. Thematic instruction is designed to be multifaceted, dynamic, connected and interdisciplinary. On a practical level, the adoption of a thematic instruction methodology necessitates a commitment to a collaborative professional environment within the school setting. Teachers must first work together to select a theme, and then proceed to develop it. Relying upon the expertise and insights of each other, as well as on outside community resources, the teaching team creatively develops a meaningful, multidisciplinary unit. Attention must be given at all times to ensuring that curricular objectives for the particular grade level are met.

JSET ejournal Enhancing Thematic Units Using the World Wide Web: Tools and Strategies for Students With Mild Disabilities J. Emmett Gardner The University of Oklahoma Cheryl A. Wissick The University of South Carolina One of the most recent technological enhancements to broadly impact schools has been the national mission to provide classrooms with high-speed connectivity to the Internet. This connectivity serves as a gateway to the World Wide Web (WWW or Web) and its countless sites that contain information, resources, and activities that promote student learning. Consequently, a growing number of special education teachers have become proficient in browsing and searching the WWW. They effectively access Web-based resources that support their personal productivity and teaching responsibilities, and extend to their students opportunities to access the WWW as part of the curriculum. Recent compilations focusing on Web-based resources, such as Edyburn (1999), Male and Gotthoffer (1999), and Wissick (1999) are excellent examples of the range and depth of this growing knowledge base that is available to special educators and students Many of today's teachers are committed to providing their students with active and dynamic learning environments. As they strive to accomplish this goal, teachers are discovering that effective classroom-based applications of technology go far beyond simply knowing about technology. When students possess the knowledge and skills regarding when and how to apply technology strategically, they can solve instructional problems with greater success

Digest EDO-FL-00-04 See also other CAL Digests on foreign language education Thematic, Communicative Language Teaching in the K-8 Classroom Mari Haas, Teachers College, Columbia University Foreign language instruction for children can be enriched when teachers use thematic units that focus on content-area information, engage students in activities in which they must think critically, and provide opportunities for students to use the target language in meaningful contexts and in new and complex ways. The national standards for foreign language teaching and learning support this approach to language instruction (National Standards in Foreign Language Education Project, 1996). Planning Thematic Units Themes for curriculum units can be derived from many sources. Planning thematic units allows the teacher to incorporate a variety of language concepts into a topic area that is interesting and worthy of study and that gives students a reason to use the language. Teachers should choose themes that lend themselves to teaching language that will be useful for their students. Themes and lessons should integrate language, content, and culture into activities that allow students to practice the foreign language and that prepare them to use it in a variety of contexts. A focus on communication, including the interactions present in all uses of the language (for speaking, listening, reading, and writing) is essential. Students need to be able to interpret the language, express themselves in the language, and negotiate meaning in the language (Savignon, 1997).

Search Thematic Instruction Definition Thematic instruction is the organization of a curriculum around macro "themes." Thematic instruction integrates basic disciplines like reading, math, and science with the exploration of a broad subject, such as communities, rain forests, river basins, the use of energy, and so on. Basic Elements Thematic instruction is based on the idea that people acquire knowledge best when learning in the context of a coherent "whole," and when they can connect what they're learning to the real world. Thematic instruction seeks to put the teaching of cognitive skills such as reading, mathematics, science, and writing in the context of a real-world subject that is both specific enough to be practical, and broad enough to allow creative exploration. Thematic instruction usually occurs within an entire grade level of students. Teachers of all the different subjects taught in that particular grade work together as a team to design curriculum, instruction methods, and assessment around a preselected theme. Typical steps include: Choosing a theme Themes often involve a large, integrated system (such as a city, an ecosystem, and so on) or a broad concept (such as democracy, weather, and so on). Instructors often strive to connect the theme to the students' everyday life. In some cases, students participate in choosing the theme or themes.

This interdisciplinary field has its centre of gravity within the Sociology programme, but many other subjects, such as Social Psychology, Social Policy and Social Work, Legal Studies and Journalism are also active within the field. The programme is open to all students with Sociology as their main or minor subject, but also to other students who have taken Social Psychology or Law as their minor. Students have the opportunity to specialize within a programme centered around ethnicity, where the courses are given mainly within the discipline of Sociology, but also in cooperation with other subjects. The programme is strongly supported by CEREN, the research centre on Ethnic Relations, Racism and Nationalism, which is a special body within the research institute of the School. The research connected to CEREN covers many topical fields, such are racism in the media, questions related to migration, especially immigrants in the labour market, and migrant organisations, as well as questions related to minority issues, such as the Swedish- speaking population in Finland, especially in relation to education. In many ways, this research supports the teaching in the ethnicity programme. CEREN is also involved in research on cross-cultural relations between Finland and Sweden internally and externally. This relates to the Nation State and studies on nationalism, but also to trends of globalisation and transnationalism. To sum up, the research activities, as well as the teaching programme, relate topics on migration, integration, racism and xenophobia to nation building, minorites and multiculturalism.

Return to Main Page Teaching Creation Myths: A Thematic Unit of Study for K-6 Teaching Multiple Creation Myths emphasizing Cultural Validity. Teaching Varying Philosophical Perspectives based on Ethno-Cultural Identification. By Jose Hugo Moreno The purpose of this thematic unit is to bring cultural awareness to instructors and students to some of the creation myths that exist in the world. The emphasis of this unit is to illustrate how more than one creation myth exists in the world, and that these creation myths have equal value and validity. In many cases, these myths or folktales have been handed down from generation to generation via storytelling. While western societies have placed an emphasis on the written word to perpetuate culture, many Asian and Indigenous cultures of the world continue to use oral traditions such as storytelling to promote cultural values, cultural traditions, and religious beliefs. The function of the folktale is to teach the listener not only a tale of creation, a theme, or a moral value but to offer the listener a philosophy of life. Lesson Plan Theme: The valuing of storytelling as a tradition and a mode of cultural preservation Objective: The class will be introduced to the important role storytelling plays in the survival of cultural values, traditions, and religious beliefs. The stories chosen for the unit range from creation myths to folktales of Asian and Indigenous origins.
