Full Description
Higher education is changing rapidly in response to the global challenges of the twenty-first century, but for disciplinarily trained lecturers interdisciplinary curriculum and course design is a time-consuming process fraught with difficult pedagogical choices.
This reader is the first book to bring together key texts on interdisciplinary teaching and learning, all drawn from a growing literature of peer-reviewed academic books and journals. As well as presenting extracts from these foundational texts, commentaries provide essential guidance on the relevant themes, helping lecturers to reflect on this fast-moving landscape.
This is an essential resource for those designing and teaching interdisciplinary courses.
