Cross-curricular teaching in Sweden and Flanders

Sammanfattning: Cross-curricular teaching is a teaching method in which one or more subjects are used within another subject to make clear links to those subjects. This is to attract pupils that are otherwise maybe not interested in this subject. The aim of this work is to see how this teaching practice is organised these days by asking teachers about their work from a constructivist point of view. For this work written interviews with teachers from Flanders and Sweden have been conducted to see how teachers work in an international context. The results point out that although the teaching practice is different in both regions, the way the teachers think is very similar.
