Here the social studies student talks about teaching a maths class
through the year. During this time one of the maths students had
taught integrated studies and the other participated in a sociology
class throughout the year alongside other students. The integrated
studies course experienced, observed and reflected on throughout the
year is an area where the students can look at language and learning.

the thing that
struck me most
trying
to
work within the given situation like the
students in Integrated Studies ws how you
could use - as he (Medway 1980 ) talks about
kids’ Pre-scientific feelings and knowledge
about things as a way in the the subject.
..... But it's very hard when you're teaching
kids concepts about a society, it's very hard
to know what the children understand by it
- that they
you’ve taught

As Integrated Studies looks like a sort of
space where
some
of this could be going

The potential's there - it can happen - I
felt as a student I wasn’t able to do what
perhaps a more experienced teacher could do
- which perhaps can be done in Integrated
Studies.
I don’t think it’s just that. I think that
there isn’t as much talk within the department
- as there might be - the teachers are writing
lots of materials and going off to do it on
their own and whole sets of ideas are missing?
(tape indistinct) I mean there isn’t a lot
or real deep talk about what's actually hap-
