Integrated Teaching

(Merill’s three Level Strategies)

Lesson Outline

I. OBJECTIVE
During the lesson, the student will know what is Integrated teaching. The objective is to
made the student realize and understand that learning Mathematics and every fact that you
learn in school can be apply in real life situation and every subject has relation with each
other.

II. PREPARATION
Play a nursery song and dance that will refresh their mind.

III. SUBJECT MATTER

What is integrated teaching and Merill’s three level strategies?
Integrated learning encourages students to see the interconnectedness and interrelationships
between the curriculum areas. Rather than focusing on learning in isolated curriculum areas, an
integrated program is based on skill development around a particular theme that is relevant to the
children in the class. It paves the way to connecting what is learned in school to real life world
rather than isolated facts and information.
Merill’s Three Level Strategy
This was popularized by the advocated of Values Clarification like Charles Merill. The
proponents of this integrated teaching strategy asserts that the teaching – learning process
should touch the facts – level, the concept – level, and the values – level.

 Facts - The students learn isolated facts.

 Concept - The facts reviewed and organized into concepts (Relationship of facts).
 Value - The knowledge acquired are related to the students’ life

IV. DISCUSSION
Using an integrated curriculum to teach is a strategy based on the premise that learninig
is a series of connections. The integrated curriculum can be beneficial to teachers and students,
using theme teaching, projects, and unit to cover a variety of material and effectively teach
many concepts and skills.
Merill’s three level strategies in integrated teaching were under in these Bloom’s
domain of learning. Fact and concept level is under the cognitive domain where is on the fact
level it includes specific information on details, isolated facts, events, and the learning of very
basic skills; while on the concept level, the principles supporting the facts were made from the
information gathered, amd skills were involved. At the values level the student is forced to
explore the connection between the subject matter and his or her own behavior.
V. APPLICATION
After the discussion we will do so some activity regarding to what we discuss.
The activity is called Fraction Pizza. They need to read the direction to make a perfect pizza .

VI. ASSIGNMENT
Think of a Math topic that can be use in real life situation. Explain your it can be used in real life.
Write it on your math notebook.
