E n We have repeatedly argued that quality education for all and all involve significant changes in the design of the curriculum. One of these changes clearly point to the configuration of an integrated curriculum, in which reality is perceived as object of knowledge which can be accessed from different subjects, but always from a global and interdisciplinary perspective.
Of course, knowing the current reality, the vast majority of schools, arrive at the top of this objective would be like trying to climb a huge staircase one step. For this reason, we think it can go up step by step, making small (but important) concessions to the coordinated work of several areas, prior to the construction of integrated curriculum that we are talking about.
An example of this union between two areas is found in the Project Kovalevskaya in the literature and mathematics come together and reach a perfect marriage. The document to which we link from this post is a powerpoint presentation of Margarita Marín (Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha), one of the members of the project.
To learn more about this exciting field (which I just discovered) I strongly recommend the number 50 (January-February-March 2009) of UNO magazine Graó Publishers, devoted entirely to Literature and Mathematics : no be missed.
