Read BUILDING STUDENTS' INTEGRATIVE THINKING CAPACITIES: A Case Study in Economics and History by William Abbott Associate Professor of History and Kathryn A. Nantz Professor of Economics Fairfield University.
Pay close attention to what the authors examined in the opposing models they found, in relation to how Integrative Thinking and learning across the disciplines can make student work more interesting. Then explain your/their findings by answering these questions and three critical aspects associated with Stage Two, Examining the Models:
• Look Across: What are the similarities? What are the genuine points of tension?
• Look Within: What is of most value, and what assumptions underlie each model?
• Look Again: What perspective are you taking? "What would I want to keep? What could I live without?"
