An interdisciplinary approach relates to more than one category of knowledge. In education, interdisciplinary teaching refers to teaching across different subjects. It is based on incorporating knowledge and skills from more than one subject in order to enrich the overall educational experience. There are many benefits of interdisciplinary approach, such as:
- It helps students to think critically,
- Develops their lifelong learning and problem-solving skills
- Increase passion for learning and develops communication and creativity, just to name a few.
ACTIVITY:
What is the most significant advantage of an interdisciplinary approach to STEM lessons?
My contribution:
In my opinion, the most important advantage of interdisciplinarity in STEM lessons is the fact that the students connect the lesson to the real world and to problem-solving, where every challenge is a whole and not parts of a subject. For example, solving water pollution issues are linked to physics, chemistry, math, biology, sociology and many other sectors. This way, the students are more excited, more focused in learning and definitively more engaged.
