Integrated Curriculum and Integrated Language

Abstract

This article is a short report from a Swedish investigation concerning the concepts SPACE, TIME, BELIEF and SOCIETY. Children and youngsters from different grades have written short and spontaneous essays. The children and youngsters offer many reflections, that normally are connected with the concept BELIEF, to the concepts TIME, SPACE and SOCIETY/COMMUNITY. It is therefore of great importance that teachers are aware of these existential interpretations of TIME, SPACE and SOCIETY.

This article is based upon a paper delivered to the Fifth Session of The International Seminar for Religious Education and Values held near Dublin in June of 1986.
