Abstract

Integrated teaching is one of the goals of the 2018 General Education Program. A cross-disciplinary approach is the highest level of integration that needs to be equipped and trained for students majoring in Primary Education. The article mentions the theory of cross-disciplinary approach, and the basic characteristics of cross-disciplinary competence, and proposes a process for organizing classroom activities in "Natural Sciences Basis" courses for students majoring in Primary Education using a cross-disciplinary approach. The process includes 3 stages: Analyzing the structure of the course content, and building cross-disciplinary learning; Building a teaching plan using a cross-disciplinary approach; and Organizing classroom activities using a cross-disciplinary approach. The initial use of this process has helped students acquire a large amount of natural science knowledge easily and quickly while forming and developing a cross-disciplinary competence to meet the teaching goals of the 2018 General Education Program.
