About the Book
As universities increasingly offer courses that break the confines of a single subject area, more students are enrolling on interdisciplinary programmes within multidisciplinary departments. Teaching and learning within interdisciplinary study requires new approaches, including an understanding of the critical perspectives and frameworks and the rearranging of intellectual and professional boundaries.
Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching in Higher Education explores the issues and tensions provoked by interdisciplinary learning, offering helpful information for:
-Staff development
-Distance learning
-Mass communication courses
-Interdisciplinary science courses
Grounded in thorough research, this collection is the first of its kind to provide practical advice and guidance from around the world, improving the quality of teaching and learning in interdisciplinary programmes.
Balasubramanyam Chandramohan is a Senior Lecturer in Academic Development at Kingston University, England.
Stephen Fallows is Research Coordinator for the Centre for Exercise and Nutrition Science in the University of Chester, England.
