Although some people have a more analytical style of learning, even they benefit from making their own connections, seeking their own patterns, and organizing and synthesizing the information they receive in their own way. The way in which information is presented should not impose an arbitrary structure. Rather, it should allow for students to give it a structure appropriate for them in order to make it more personal and meaningful. By approaching teaching from multiple perspectives that encompass several subjects, students are free to make their own conceptual connections and thereby enhance their learning. Interdisciplinary learning enables them to see the interrelationships between concepts across subjects that they would normally find more difficult to understand.
Teachers can team up to approach a single concept from the perspective of their various disciplines.
Teachers also can present lessons based on broad themes that span across various disciplines. This means more than simply correlating two subjects, but rather building learning experiences and tasks that grow out of the investigative process. For example, a biology experiment can also create an opportunity for the development of communications skills through writing. An art project that asks students to design a new product package can also serve as the basis for teaching marketing principles. Technology can enhance the use of interdisciplinary teaching by facilitating the production of student presentations that are non-linear, multimedia, and integrated.
