Thematic Approach in Education

In the thematic approach, students experience holistic learning through interconnected subjects. We begin the learning journey with a big question that sparks our curiosity.

We progress with the thematic approach in each age group. For example, while the theme of Art is addressed throughout the entire school, each grade level examines a different subtopic of art.

This holistic and interdisciplinary structure, along with answers to the big question, provides the child with similar or different perspectives on many fields.

Thematic Approach and Holistic Network of Relationships

Considering the developmental characteristics of children, it is known that they perceive information as part of a whole and that experiencing it through integrated activities has a lasting impact on their learning. The thematic approach guides us in making these learnings unique and permanent.

Through the thematic approach, a holistic network of relationships is created across different learning areas such as art, mathematics, science, and Turkish. The child explores and internalizes this network of relationships in a way that suits their curiosity and learning style.

Thematic Approach and Deepening in Content

At Fide, learning during the early years occurs through six main themes: My Story, Art, Systems, Time, Nature, and Wellness-Health.

Each theme lasts for six weeks, and there are significant ideas we aim to reach by the end of these themes. Fundamental questions are crucial in the process that leads us to these significant ideas. These questions open the door to the topics we wish to explore and deepen the content. They are open to discussion and create an environment for generating new ideas. Lessons to be learned under each theme are determined, and holistic stories that connect these lessons are created.

Thematic Approach and The Big Idea

In the thematic approach, we design educational stories that include all subjects. For example, when covering the topic of "Migration" as a sub-theme of "Time" in 4th grade, we aim to reach the big idea that "Living beings move from one place to another for various reasons" through various questions: What is migration? Why do people migrate? Is migration a choice? What are the significant migrations in human history from past to present? How do living beings decide where to migrate? How do people affect the societies they migrate to?

While searching for these answers, we ask our students to create written stories related to the concepts they have learned in the theme.
