Interdisciplinary Learning


 

It is important to have a clear understanding of what interdisciplinary learning and teaching is, all while integrating areas of STEM into various content areas. Having a clear understanding of teaching in an interdisciplinary method will provide guidance in exploring how it varies from traditional teaching methods. 

Research and identify three strategies showing effective interdisciplinary learning.

For this assignment, create a brochure for K-8 parents highlighting the importance of integrating STEM across content areas, the importance of STEM learning in the elementary classroom, and how an integrated approach compares to traditional pedagogy and isolated content learning.

Please include:

  • A description of what interdisciplinary learning with STEM would look like in the classroom and how it compares to traditional pedagogy.
  • Three advantages of teaching in an interdisciplinary format.
  • Three strategies demonstrating effective interdisciplinary learning.
  • How interdisciplinary STEM teaching and learning encourages exploration, promotes project-based learning, and develops students’ knowledge and skills.

Support your brochure with two scholarly resources.
