Inter-Disciplinary Learning (IDL)

Inter-Disciplinary Learning (IDL) refers to an educational approach that combines various academic disciplines to establish a more detailed and holistic comprehension of a specific topic or subject in early childhood education. Instead of teaching each topic independently, IDL:

  • Encourages students to investigate the connections between different fields of study
  • Guides them to develop a more intricate and sophisticated understanding of the world that we are living in

The implementation of IDL can take different forms, such as project-based learning (PBL) that integrates multiple disciplines or courses taught by a team of experts from various fields. PBL offers numerous advantages, including:

  • Cultivation of creativity and innovation
  • Promotion of critical thinking and problem-solving abilities
  • Encouragement of a more interconnected perspective on the world

One key benefit of Inter-Disciplinary Learning is its ability to demonstrate the interrelation of different areas of study and to foster an appreciation for the complexities and nuances inherent in real-world problems.

By engaging with multiple disciplines, students have the opportunity to explore diverse perspectives at our early childhood education centres.
