“Disciplines”
means academic disciplines which include
|
|
|
the arts,
humanities, languages, mathematics, and
|
|
|
natural and
social sciences that provide the basis of
|
|
|
the subjects
taught in schools.
|
|
“Structures”
means the structures of disciplines which
|
|
|
provide the
overall framework which both connects
|
|
|
and transcends
the skills and content of the discipline.
|
|
The big picture
or outline of the discipline helps
|
|
|
students
understand the commonalties and the
|
|
|
interrelationships
of concepts within a discipline. An
|
|
|
understanding of
the structure of a discipline allows
|
|
|
students to see
connections as they acquire new
|
|
|
knowledge.
