Handbook of Interdisciplinary Teaching and Administration. Questo articolo non è disponibile.Handbook of Interdisciplinary Teaching and Administration

Championing an emerging global community of scholars, this Handbook provides a detailed examination on how to successfully integrate interdisciplinarity into education programs. A comprehensive look into the current landscape of the field, it emphasises the importance of interdisciplinary teaching and administration in the development of creativity, citizenship and information literacy.

Addressing the philosophy of interdisciplinarity and its relationship to learning theory, this Handbook examines issues of curriculum, course design and pedagogy. This practical approach is built upon in subsequent chapters on the diversity of interdisciplinary teaching, specifically in study abroad programs, hybrid structures, and graduate contexts. Ultimately, experts discuss the challenges of introducing interdisciplinary pedagogy into a largely disciplinary teaching environment, and provide step-by-step advice on how to develop truly innovative, integrative education within existing university structures.

This accessible Handbook is an invaluable resource for both new and seasoned instructors of interdisciplinary studies. It will also appeal to students and scholars of political science, sociology, economics, and education policy.
