George Ashline; Bret Findley; Mitchell Andrea; Dylan Wawruck – PRIMUS, 2024
We describe the components and implementation of an activity for multivariable calculus featuring applications to the field of chemistry. This activity focuses on the isobaric thermal expansion coefficient found using partial differentiation of the volume of an ideal gas with respect to temperature as pressure is held constant. Broader goals of…

Ilya Zrudlo – Philosophical Inquiry in Education, 2024
This paper suggests ways in which the profile of philosophical research in education could be raised, to demonstrate that it is legitimate and genuinely productive to engage in non-empirical research in education. I begin with some historical context for philosophical research in education, exploring the approach known as "conceptual…

José Carlos Vázquez-Parra; Carolina Alcantar-Nieblas; Leonardo David Glasserman Morales; Xiomara Nuñez-Rodríguez – International Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
This article aims to show the results of implementing a training methodology in a group of participants within an intensive course on educational innovation. The motivation for this course was to promote innovative ideas that could be scaled into possible open educational entrepreneurship projects. Based on descriptive statistical analysis, that…

Hyesun You; Minju Hong – Research in Science Education, 2024
Natural phenomena and scientific issues are intrinsically interdisciplinary. Students need to study a variety of academic disciplines in the natural sciences to explain a phenomenon or its related problems. Our goal in the current study was to examine the epistemological foundation of students' interdisciplinary understanding of carbon cycling…

Giancaspro, Joseph; Scollan, Patrick; Rosario, Juan; Miller, Elizabeth; Braziel, Samuel; Lee, Sunghee – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
In an upper-division interdisciplinary laboratory experiment, students use Raman spectroscopy to highlight how the overall structure and conformational order of lipid bilayers can be influenced by their individual phospholipid composition. Students prepare a supported lipid bilayer, as a model cell membrane, by spreading liposomes made of various…

Kalis, Annemarie – Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Education, 2023
In interdisciplinary education, students find out that even basic concepts such as time, freedom or control mean different things for different disciplines and individuals. Through such encounters, students develop an ever-richer conceptual toolbox for making sense of the world. But, how do concepts travel (Bal, 2002) in an interdisciplinary…

Nevset Gul Canakcioglu; Omer Karadag; Yagiz Eray Esgin – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Architectural education encompasses a multidisciplinary curriculum including design, theory, history, technology, environmental considerations, urban planning, social aspects, and professional practice. This study aims to investigate the extent to which students can effectively integrate structural concepts into architectural design. This…

Hanni Muukkonen; Anu Kajamaa – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2024
Background: Higher education is expected to prepare students with interdisciplinary learning (IDL), which is important for their educational and working life opportunities. The cocreation of knowledge in interdisciplinary teams offers multiple opportunities for the emergence of collective knowledge objects (KOs) and knowledge practices (KPs).…

Steven Greenstein; Bogdan G. Nita – PRIMUS, 2024
With this paper, we share an activity for the undergraduate mathematics classroom called "The Harp Project" that leverages the aesthetic nature of both the mathematical and the musical arts. This project was conceived as a STEAM/PBL project with the added feature that it was carried out in pieces by an entire class. Anecdotal evidence…

Judith Canner; Jennifer E. Clinkenbeard – Numeracy, 2024
The idea of "threshold concepts" has been used to identify discipline-based concepts that are critical to that academic area. Threshold concepts are often difficult for students to assimilate in a meaningful way but, once done, can be powerful for the learner. In general, threshold concepts are 1) transformative to learner thinking; 2)…

Love, Tyler S.; Napoli, Mary; Lee, Doris – School Science and Mathematics, 2023
Research has revealed that a small percentage of weekly instructional time in the elementary grades is dedicated to teaching science. Additionally, elementary educators receive limited preparation to teach science concepts compared to math or literacy skills. Therefore, this study examined if utilizing poetry to teach science concepts had a…

Capotosto, Lauren; Carrasquillo, Rosa Elena; Vargas, Madeline – Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, 2023
The authors describe an instructional model of interdisciplinarity that aims to simultaneously develop undergraduate students' disciplinary knowledge and foster integrative skills. Two faculty members taught separate undergraduate courses in history and microbiology during which students came together at multiple points throughout the semester.…

Tianruo Shen; Davin Tan; Jia Fang Rachel Lee; Eng Ying Bong; Xiaogang Liu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Knowledge related to photochemistry has been gradually introduced as a part of chemistry courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. However, due to their complex conceptual principles, limited class time, and tedious experimental setup and methodologies, students tend to encounter difficulties in understanding the concepts and…

Feroza Daroowalla; David M. Harris; Jonathan Kibble – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Integrating physiology core concepts into the clinical years of medical education has been challenging despite efforts. This article describes a fourth-year medical school elective, Advanced Physiology in Critical Care Medicine, that focused on integrating physiology core concepts in a case-based learning approach. The elective used…

Stern, Erik; Bachman, Rachel – Journal of Dance Education, 2021
This article looks at an interdisciplinary college movement and mathematics course from the perspectives of one of its co-creators and a mathematics education researcher. It suggests deep, embodied use of choreographic problem solving can form an effective path to mathematics learning through (a) conceptual overlap between mathematics and dance,…
