This descriptive study uses a qualitative, content analysis to examine the middle school visual arts and core Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) to determine the potential common learning activities that can be aligned between the two. By performing an alignment of the potential common learning activities present in the middle school visual art TEKS and the middle school core TEKS, I demonstrate that there is a foundation for curriculum integration in the Texas middle school visual arts classroom.

The study delimited the research scenario in an Educational Unit of Early Childhood Education in the District of Cidade Tiradentes and used the qualitative methodology (ANDRÉ, 2000; GAMBOA, 2000; CHIZZOTTI, 2003) to support the research. We constructed an open questionnaire (GIL, 2008), as an instrument for data collection, with the intention of revealing how the teachers understand the Integrative Curriculum and how these conceptions are embedded in their actions. The most problematized themes were highlighted and analyzed in consonance with specific theoretical literature. We found in the teachers' statements, elements indispensable to integrative pedagogical practices, such as the organization of times, spaces and materials, play, the integration of knowledge of different curricular components, children's cultures and protagonism. We perceive from the reflections carried out, an involvement of the educators, in approaching the foundations of the "Integrative Curriculum" the educational practices, for that, we emphasize the formative process, the discussions of the educational routines, as a field of strengthening and deepening to the integrative conceptions, in respect to childhood / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar os princípios e as concepções do Currículo Integrador sob a ótica de um grupo de educadoras, tendo como foco os subsídios do documento “Currículo Integrador da Infância Paulistana”, elaborado pela Secretaria Municipal de Educação de São Paulo. O estudo delimitou como cenário da pesquisa uma Unidade Educacional de Educação Infantil do distrito de Cidade Tiradentes e utilizou a metodologia qualitativa (ANDRÉ, 2000; GAMBOA, 2000; CHIZZOTTI, 2003) para embasamento da investigação. Para a coleta de dados, foi construído um questionário aberto (GIL, 2008), que buscou desvelar como as professoras compreendiam o Currículo Integrador e como tais concepções encontravam-se imbricadas em suas ações. Os temas mais problematizados foram destacados e analisados em consonância com literatura teórica específica. Nos depoimentos das professoras foram constatados elementos indispensáveis às práticas pedagógicas integradoras, como a organização dos tempos, dos espaços e dos materiais, o brincar, a integração de saberes de diferentes componentes curriculares, as culturas infantis e o protagonismo. Percebeu-se, a partir das reflexões realizadas, uma disposição das educadoras para a aproximação entre os fundamentos do “Currículo Integrador” e as práticas educativas. Para tanto, o processo formativo e as discussões das rotinas educativas são enfatizados como campo de fortalecimento e aprofundamento das concepções integradoras, em respeito à infância

Children today are disconnected from the natural environment around them, sometimes finding it annoying, lacking in excitement, and little use to them. Their attention and focus are spent inside watching TV, playing games on computers or a variety of other electronic devices. The purpose of this project was to see if after-school exposure to an Enirovnmental Science Club on the school grounds can impact student attitudes toward our local environment and to increase these third and fourth grade students' knowledge and awareness of their environment.

The purpose of this study was to examine the interrelationships between the School of Education and the rest of the university by means of the course demands placed by elementary education majors and graduate education students on other academic departments during the fall terms of 1972 and 1973. It also examined the course demands placed on the School of Education by other major groups for this period. The Induced Course Load Matrix (ICLM) was the vehicle used in this examination. The hypothesis tested were 1) that elementary education majors and graduate education students placed equal course demands on the other academic departments, 2) that other major groups place equal course demands on the School of Education, and 3), that course demands by these three groups were consistent over time. Results indicated that elementary education majors and graduate education students did not place equal demands on other academic departments. Elementary education majors place the greatest course demands, as might be expected, on departments where there are course requirements such as Psychology, English, General Science, Mathematics and Speech. However, this group also placed heavy course demands on the History Department even though there are no required courses. Graduate education students placed course demands on other academic departments similar to elementary education majors, especially in the Departments of Psychology, English and History.

More funding should be provided to the college to enhance the smooth running of the college. The college should be equipped with resources that are required for teaching and learning. More learners should be able to study and equipped with relevant skills for job market. Capricorn College for FET should use recruitment strategies that may benefit almost learners in the country. The Department of Higher Education and Training should make sure that Capricorn College for FET be provided with necessary and enough infrastructural resources.
