Interdiscipinary Curriculum Interdisciplinary Teaching Traditional elementary and secondary classrooms divide instruction into categories (disciplines) such as "reading," "math," and "social studies." Interdisciplinary teaching involves any effort on the part of an instructor to design learning activities with products and activities to related to more than one discipline. Interest Talk Interpolation of Data Given a set of data, students are asked to calculate an expected value that occurs between two given data points. Interviews Interviews may be by the student or may be a form of assessment of the student. Intra-Act Students' valuing of reading is expressed by students responses to opinion questions and their predictions of classmates' opinions on a "game sheet." Invented Spelling Invented spelling is a natural product that occurs as children begin learning to write. Children attempt to use the sounds of the letters they know to write words whose spelling they do not know. How the teacher responds to the invented spelling differs in different types of classrooms. In more holistic approaches to literacy, students are encouraged to experiment and the invented spelling may or not be corrected depending on the purpose of the writing. During the first few years of school, children gradually replace their invented spellings with those acquired through formal instruction. Invention An open-ended problem-solving task. Is the process of creating something to fill a need. Invention Teaching A constructivist approach. Students begin learning with an activity (as in Discovery Teaching), but students may generate many possible solutions. Students acquire basic and advanced knowledge in random order. Inventory Questioning Inventory questions are designed to collect information about students' interests, to activate prior knowledge, or to help students become aware of their existing beliefs and background. Often used when dealing with controversial issues, or in the form of a "personal inventory" to explore emotional problems or limitations.
