An Interdisciplinary Model to Implement General Education.

Hursh, Barbara; And Others

Journal of Higher Education, v54 n1 p42-59 Jan-Feb 1983

The general education curriculum should include academic experiences based upon selected theories of intellectual development. The works of Dewey, Piaget, and Perry provide the theoretical framework for an interdisciplinary model that takes cognitive development as the primary goal and disciplinary exposure as a by-product.
