The co-authors created a six-week interdisciplinary module, introducing students to refugee and migrant rights, experiences, and challenges from two disciplinary pedagogical and substantive…

The purpose of this article is to explore how college health practitioners, counseling center staff and student affairs professionals are coming together to launch brand-new integrated approaches to health, behavioral health, wellness and learning on today's campuses--that is, to explore how and why you will now find college counselors embedded in…

Transdisciplinary invention projects based on traditional and digital fabrication technologies engage young people in designing and making complex artifacts and constitute a central aspect of future-oriented education. In Finland, comprehensive school students (aged 7-15) from all over the country can practice their inventive skills in the annual…

This paper examines how purposeful cross-curricular choices for students, notably Emergent Bilingual students, create a rich learning environment and opportunities for students to thrive. It examines the intersection of U.S. History Studies Since 1877 and American literature, which often converge in Grade 11, and proposes the implementation of the…

When a campus welcomes hundreds--and more likely thousands--of new students to campus each year, it is easy for those on the front lines to lose sight of how radical and novel this change is for our students. Many students experience significant transitions before college as they navigate identity formation and grapple with unforeseen disruptions…

This study aims to (1) analyze learning-management innovations in religious studies in international contexts; and (2) propose approaches to developing religious-studies learning management for the Thai higher-education context. This study employed a qualitative documentary approach analyzing 85 peer-reviewed sources from 12 countries (2017-2025).…

This research aims to conduct a fixed-effects meta-analysis to unpack the causal role of music interventions on mathematics achievement. Findings indicated that music interventions had a small to moderate positive effect on mathematics achievement (N = 77,595, k = 245, g = 0.36, p < 0.01, 95% CI [0.34, 0.38]). Mathematics skills, instructional…

Society is currently experiencing a wave of misinformation and disinformation spread through social media and other means. Widespread false information threatens our social relationships and our democracy. A shift toward inquiry learning in PreK-12 education can both improve student learning in general and teach students to assess the validity of…

The purpose of this cross-case analysis is to understand how mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) educators integrated social justice (SJ)-oriented computer science (CS) instruction into middle school classrooms. An integrated curriculum synthesises content and methods from two or more fields to teach curricular concepts and solve complex…

Capstone courses, where students work on a large group project at the end of their degree, are common in computing. Many accreditation and industry bodies explicitly require or recommend them.

This chapter describes a cross-disciplinary peer teaching consulting program and how graduate student programs and consultant training activities are integrated and aligned around core areas of practice.

Design methods and processes are now commonly used across disciplines as an approach to gain deeper and more connected understanding within complex or wicked problems. However, little research exists on the use of Design to facilitate and grow interdisciplinary research culture within higher education institutes. This paper discusses how and why…

Undergraduate engineering education must train students to not only solve design challenges that transcend disciplinary boundaries, but also communicate, transfer knowledge, and collaborate across technical and non-technical boundaries. One approach to achieving this goal is teaching bio-inspired design (BID) in an engineering curriculum. In…

Reviews of literature are conducted within academia to summarize and highlight gaps in findings and research approaches associated with a particular line of inquiry. Identifying sources to be included in reviews in rigorous ways can be challenging for interdisciplinary research topics, as relevant articles may be found in a wide variety of…
