Anderson; Chelsie Romulo – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2024
Interdisciplinary environmental and sustainability (IES) programs are different from other fields because they focus on a complex integration of humanities, social, and natural sciences concepts centered on the interactions of coupled human and natural systems. The interdisciplinary nature of IES programs does not lend itself to traditional…

James W. Paxton; Sandy Bardsley – History Teacher, 2024
Experimental archaeology is a vibrant and fascinating field that offers great opportunities for hands-on student learning in history. Although it is typically taught by archaeologists and anthropologists, it is certainly accessible and easily adapted to history courses. In addition to teaching "Introduction to Experimental Archaeology"…

Thompson, Katerina V.; Nelson, Kären C.; Sniezek, James; Marbach-Ad, Gili – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
Introductory courses in biology often lack sufficient emphasis on quantitative skills and interdisciplinary problem solving, leaving many students unprepared for more advanced biology coursework and hampering their ability to pursue biology research careers. MathBench Biology Modules were created to enhance the quantitative skills of biology…

R. Jabbour; R. K. Cook – Natural Sciences Education, 2025
Museums, long considered institutions of learning, offer a platform for the integration of art with science. In our work shared here, an introductory college-level agriculture science class collaborated with a university art museum. Our goal was to use art objects as a launching point for dialogue within our class, as well as a way that students…

Faulconer, E. K.; Wood, B.; Griffith, J. C. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
The "Next Generation Science Standards" and other educational reforms support the formation of deep connections across the STEM disciplines. Integrated STEM is considered as a best practice by the educational communities of the disparate disciplines. However, the integration of non-STEM disciplines is understudied and generally limited…

Tucker, Mary C.; Shaw, Stacy T.; Son, Ji Y.; Stigler, James W. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2023
We developed an interactive online textbook that interleaves R programming activities with text as a way to facilitate students' understanding of statistical ideas while minimizing the cognitive and emotional burden of learning programming. In this exploratory study, we characterize the attitudes and experiences of 672 undergraduate students as…

Our institution underwent a curricular revision to change the course approach for introductory anatomy and physiology courses from separate, discipline-specific human anatomy and human physiology courses to an integrated A&P I and A&P II course approach. Through a mixed-methods exploratory study, this research sought to determine…

Rocio Ramos-Rodriguez; Maria Calle; Garis Coronell; John E. Candelo Becerra – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Contribution: Team-based learning (TBL) with a transdisciplinary (TD) approach is applied in one introductory programming course with different cohorts. The approach reduces the failure rate in the course. In addition, the approach helped students understand the application of programming to different engineering professional areas. Background:…

Ma, Lili – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2021
This paper summarizes our experience of teaching undergraduate robotic courses in the past ten years. The objective is to introduce students to the fundamental knowledge in robotics. Lecture topics covered subjects in both Autonomous Mobile Robots and Robotic Manipulator. In the lab sessions, students work on physical robots to acquire basic…

Basu, Suchandra – Journal of Economic Education, 2021
Critical thinking skills are widely considered to be important transferable skills gained from taking college-level economics courses that are also highly valued by employers. Yet, the literature on intentionally teaching critical thinking skills in undergraduate economics classes is still relatively sparse. The author of this article outlines an…

Despite the intrinsic interdisciplinary nature of STEM, teaching interdisciplinarity in the classroom is difficult and students struggle to find the applicability of concepts and skills in different scientific disciplines. In this work we propose a micro-credential "badge" system called Demonstrated Understanding of Core Knowledge (DUCK)…

Payne, Brian K.; He, Wu; Wang, Cong; Wittkower, D. E.; Wu, Hongyi – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2021
This paper describes an interdisciplinary effort involving faculty from five different disciplines who came together to develop an interdisciplinary, open, general education cybersecurity course. The course, Cybersecurity, Technology, and Society, brings together ideas from interdisciplinary studies, information technology, engineering, business,…

Meyer, Josephine C.; Passante, Gina; Pollock, Steven J.; Wilcox, Bethany R. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Interdisciplinary introduction to quantum information science (QIS) courses are proliferating at universities across the US, but the experiences of instructors in these courses have remained largely unexplored in the discipline-based education research (DBER) communities. Here, we address this gap by reporting on the findings of a survey of…

Interdisciplinarity has been touted as a means to recruit more racially and gender-diverse students to computing. In this explanatory sequential mixed-methods study, we investigated demographic characteristics among a sample of undergraduate students pursuing interdisciplinary computing major and minor combinations at 15 institutions in the United…

A recent scientific discipline, bioinformatics, defined as using informatics for the study of biological problems, is now a requirement for the study of biological sciences. Bioinformatics has become such a powerful and popular discipline that several academic institutions have created programs in this field, allowing students to become…
