This study presents a conceptual framework for embedding interdisciplinary learning approaches in a postsecondary science program in order to foster interdisciplinary science habits in students. The framework was developed through the lens of a multi-year interdisciplinary postsecondary science program that encompasses a series of courses in which…

This paper proposes the theoretical context for a course development framework to address the specific needs and challenges of teaching and learning in interdisciplinary studies (IDS). User-centred design (UCD) principles are used for this development process. Traditional course development frameworks provide a helpful guide in terms of setting…

The development of multidisciplinary education requires people to communicate, learn, and design beyond the boundaries of their own domains.
