Abstract | This paper tells the story of the evolution of curriculum integration for the middle years in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ). It traces developments early in the twentieth century during the interwar period. It goes on to describe how curriculum integration was reconsidered in the 1980s and 1990s in response to concerns about unsympathetic schooling during restructuring in NZ when the need for better educational outcomes emerged as a new imperative. The paper concludes that James Beane's student-centred model of curriculum integration holds special promise as a responsive curriculum design for the middle years as currently mandated by the national curriculum. |
