MUSIC, SUPPORT FOR THE INTEGRATED APPROACH OF SCHOOL LEARNING IN PRIMARY EDUCATION
Keywords:
Music, integrated approach, primary education,Abstract
A defining element of the progress of knowledge is the interdisciplinary approach.
Success in life is given by the ability to get out of the box of school subjects, to
make connections to solve everyday problems. The interdisciplinary approach
involves bridges between disciplines by using the conceptual and methodological
devices of several disciplines used in interconnections to examine a topic or a
problem but above all to develop transversal and interdisciplinary integrated
competencies. What we propose to you in this paper, starting from the Keep Pace
Workshop, held in the PIPP National Conference, The Fourth Edition "Teachers
Building the Future" is a way of creating an appropriate educational context for
the integrated approach of school learning, through an activity in the field of music
and movement, mathematics, language and communication, practical skills,
drawing, personal development and their encounter in an interdisciplinary way.
