Abstract
After a historical perspective of what integrated curriculum has meant, it follows an examination of its different aspects. Among these are: the reasons to adopt an integrated curricular model, the benefits derived from its adoption, investigations into its effectiveness, and implementation models. The article also explores the problems that may surge as a result of using this strategy, as well as the principles that should guide its implementation. Finally, teachers are exhorted to try the ten models presented by Fogarty (1991) and to select the one they feel more comfortable with to implement in their professional practice.
