Inquiry learning, drama and curriculum integration

Abstract

Describes three case studies from Connecting Curriculum; Connecting Learning, a 2 year research project that used Mantle of the Expert - an inquiry learning approach that incorporates drama. Sees, in this teacher and student-led approach, participants going into a role as members of an imaginary organisation carrying out an important commission for a high-status client. Finds that several curriculum areas were integrated, all four social science conceptual strands were included, and the processes used fulfil the best-practice evidence for effective pedagogy as described in The New Zealand Curriculum.
