Nowadays, it is essential to promote an interdisciplinary approach in classrooms, integrating disciplines such as biology and mathematics. This necessitates familiarity with specific problem-solving practices employed by the expert community, such as mathematical modelling. This perspective piece explores a mathematical modelling practice to…

While a trans-disciplinary approach has been suggested within school science learning to facilitate the role of science education for societal development, lacking is a conceptualisation with respect to what trans-disciplinarity is, why it is needed, and how it can potentially be implemented in the classroom. In seeking to address this limitation,…

Communication as a discipline has a curious double life, being both disavowed in favor of something else, yet remains as a conceptual anchor point for a diverse range of intellectual projects. This argument focuses upon four challenges, or "turns," that communication as a field has experienced: the "cultural turn" associated…

This study examined how opportunities to incorporate numeracy across different primary curriculum areas and grade levels are highlighted in the Australian Curriculum v9.0. A document analysis approach was used to track the numeracy opportunities in the document across different curriculum areas and grade levels. The results showed that Science has…

This review aims to provide a current, systematic overview of research over the past decade in the context of school-related trauma-studies to understand research-related approaches of school-based trauma pedagogy.

Using data from approximately 342,000 course-taking records collected from 4406 college students enrolled at Taipei Tech during the 2009-2012 academic years, we examine the impact of multidisciplinarity on students' academic performance. Our study contributes to the literature in three ways. First, by applying natural language processing (NLP), we…

In this paper, I elaborate a realist post-disciplinary methodology. Its starting point are disciplines. Some features of disciplines are well understood. But the implications of their irreducibility to mechanical procedure is rarely acknowledged. Building on this observation this paper proceeds through investigating transdisciplinary…

This study explores how second language (L2) postgraduate writers from different disciplines at a Mexican university negotiate feedback on concerns about the structure of academic research genres (e.g., conference proposals, journal articles) with professional writing center tutors based in the United States, and it reports on those writers' main…

This study examines cybersecurity awareness in universities by analyzing related research output across different disciplines at the University of Johannesburg. The diffusion of innovation theory is used in this study as a theoretical framework to explain how cybersecurity awareness diffuses across disciplines. The University of Johannesburg…

From a Nordic and British perspective, the history of education is a vibrant field of knowledge production. It invites scholars from the humanities and social sciences to investigate the continuities and changes in education over time, as well as "Bildung," nurturing, learning, and teaching.
