It’s All Connected
Multidisciplinary—two or more subjects are organized around a common theme or topic such as "pioneers"; or different disciplines may be viewed as "lenses" to explore a problem or issue. There is an attempt to make explicit connections across subject areas.
Interdisciplinary—interdisciplinary skills (process skills such as literacy, research, or numeracy skills) are the organizing center for two or more subject areas. Connections are also made with content through teaching concepts that cut across subject areas.
Transdisciplinary—there is a real-life context. An instructional unit puts the focus on the issue and assumes that the embedded disciplines will come into play as needed or desired throughout the unit. Project-based learning is one example of transdisciplinary curriculum.
Interconnected, interrelated, & relevant. Your education at Finding the Good will feel a bit like weaving an intricate web of ideas, where concepts and theories overlap each other, as well as find relevance in daily living situations. Learning happens within, between, and across multiple disciplines simultaneously.
