3. Introduction - Focus on good practices and future possibilities to teach interdisciplinary in PE in primary, secondary education and higher education (PETE). ENSSEE-2013-PE

4. Introduction ENSSEE-2013-PE Part I: interdisciplinary teaching in PEPE using pedagogical cases, …. Part II: is based on the model of Cone et al. (2009) as worked out in the book “Interdisciplinary elementary physical education”, as a continuum from simple to complex (connection-shared- partnership).

5. “Who are you?” ENSSEE-2013-PE Tell your neighbour(s): Name, institution, course(s) Interdisciplinary experience Interdisciplinary dreams

6. PART II : Continuum “Where are you?” ENSSEE-2013-PE Uniqueness of each subject area Interrelationships among subjects and subject teachers Disciplines - Interdisc – Multidisc - Trans-disciplinary Separated - Connected - Shared - Partnership Cone et al. (2009)

7. ENSSEE-2013-PE Several subject / sciences separately Interdisciplinary Separated - Connected - Shared - Partnership

8. PART II : Continuum ENSSEE-2013-PE Interdisciplinary education = process in which two or more subject areas are integrated with the goal of fostering enhanced learning in each subject area. The disciplines may be related through a central theme, issue, problem, process, topic, or experience (Jacobs, 1989)

Taught collaborative with another teacher, common lessons or unit at a similar period, in different classrooms/sessions Thaught collaboratively with other teacher(s) = Team-teaching N= …..N= ….

11. PART II : Continuum ENSSEE-2013-PE Seek to connect the disciplines through points of attachment. It proposes to unify understanding by organizing skills and knowledge along lines of connection and convergence rather than along lines of divergence and differentiation.

12. PART II : Continuum ENSSEE-2013-PE There is no longer as much discussion among educators about whether to blend the subject areas, as about when, to what degree, and how best to do it. (Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, 1994, pp. 1-2)
