Which Fogarty method uses overlap of concepts across disciplines?

• A. Sequenced
• B. Shared Integration
• C. Webbed Integration
• D. Threaded Integration

Answer: (B)

Cross-disciplinary learning that emphasizes shared ideas across subjects is at work here. Shared Integration intentionally identifies core concepts that appear in multiple disciplines and designs activities so students apply the same idea in different contexts. This makes learning cohesive and helps students see how a concept—like energy, balance, or motion—translates beyond one subject into science, math, health, and even physical education. It’s different from a sequenced approach, which moves topics through disciplines one after another; from webbed integration, which links ideas in a network while keeping disciplines distinct; and from threaded integration, which weaves a common theme through subjects but doesn’t focus on overlapping concepts across disciplines as strongly.
