Stone, Jeffrey A.; Cruz, Laura – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2021
Higher education has embraced integrative learning as a means of enabling students to tackle so-called "wicked" problems, i.e. problems that are sufficiently complex, contested, and ambiguous that conventional, disciplinary specific approaches are inadequate to address. However, challenges remain in defining integrative learning…

Wolz, Sabine; Bergande, Bianca; Brune, Philipp – Cogent Education, 2022
Programming is an essential part of the curriculum of computer science non-major students. The motivation for the various elements of interdisciplinary degrees is often very low in computer science, which faces a gender gap as well. Differences between study courses and gender in confidence, attitude, student numbers, and motivation in computer…

Gammill, Linda; And Others – Journal of Education for Business, 1992
Coordinated assignments required undergraduates to use skills in three linked introductory courses: computer science, library research, and economics. First-year students achieved the same level of mastery as students in traditional sections of the courses, and they felt the courses enhanced learning. (SK)
