Abstract:
Interdisciplinary methods are typically utilized when removing disciplinary barriers is essential, or when reaching a shared consensus across disciplines is required to handle a difficult or multi-faceted subject. The goal of interdisciplinary methods is to get academics to think differently and identify new ways to solve issues that were previously thought to be insurmountable. The increasing need for interdisciplinary research may present both possibilities and challenges to higher education institutions with a new or emerging research culture. In higher education, interdisciplinary studies are those that allow students to experience “other ways of knowing” from their main or favoured areas. To satisfy this apparent demand, several universities have begun to create interdisciplinary programmes or disciplines. Interdisciplinary research is a synthesis of various disciplines that is very dynamic and adaptable to a fast changing market environment. Interdisciplinary studies can help students develop their creativity, flexibility, adaptability, critical thinking, teamwork, and other skills. Students can gain a better understanding of the complex interconnectivity that exists in real world by exposing them to two or more interrelated fields. Complex challenges transcend traditional disciplines, necessitating interdisciplinary investigation and collaboration among scholars and research groups in higher education in order to develop knowledge that is more than the sum of its parts.
