What is interdisciplinary learning?

Interdisciplinary learning is a method of


educational instruction that brings
together separate subjects to explore a
single common topic, issue or theme
from multiple perspectives, fostering a
comprehensive and interconnected
understanding.
Example:
If a student is learning about tourism in the a specific
country in an interdisciplinary way
The revenue generated from tourism in an
economics class
The most popular tourist sites in a geography class

Historical tourism trends in a history course

Effective advertising strategies for tourism

ACTIVITY
Subject Mix: English and History
Lesson Objective: Analyzing Historical Documents
Through Close Reading

Description: In this interdisciplinary lesson, students will


study historical documents from a specific period, such as
the American Revolution or the Civil Rights Movement.
They will practice close reading techniques commonly
used in English literature classes to understand the
language, context, and subtext of the documents. By
analyzing primary sources, students gain a deeper
understanding of historical events while honing their
critical reading and interpretation skills.
Subject Mix: Science and Mathematics
Lesson Objective: Investigating Population Growth and
Data Analysis

Description: Students will explore the principles of


population growth in biology and use mathematical tools
to analyze and interpret demographic data. They will
study how population growth affects ecosystems and
human societies while using statistical methods to make
predictions about future population trends. This
interdisciplinary lesson encourages students to apply
mathematical concepts to real-world scenarios and
understand the broader implications of population
dynamics.

“This world is of a single piece; yet,


we invent nets to trap it for our
inspection. Then we mistake our nets
for the reality of the piece. In these
nets we catch the fishes of the
intellect but the sea of wholeness
forever eludes our grasp. So, we forget
our original intent and then mistake the
To summarize

If we’re wise, we’ll use this moment to help our students


better understand the complexity of the world beyond the
walls of academe, the ways in which our various fields and
disciplines not only overlap but also influence and shape and
reshape each other in substantive ways. If we’re smart, we’ll
use this moment to foreground those messy interactions,
asking students to explore such interrelations, to parse cause
and effect, to unfold how data influences poetry and how
poetry can shape our ability to give meaning to data.
