The Role of Computational and Al-Assisted Tools in Interdisciplinary Teaching
(Bentham Science, 2026) Anushka Pandey, Anukriti Pandey, Tahmeena Khan
In response to the growing complexity of global challenges and the evolving demands of the workforce, interdisciplinary education has emerged as a crucial pedagogical approach. This chapter explores the transformative role of computational and Al-assisted tools in facilitating interdisciplinary teaching and learning. It outlines how technologies such as intelligent tutoring systems, Al-powered simulations, natural language processing tools, and data analytics platforms foster integrative learning experiences by bridging disciplinary divides, personalizing instruction, and enhancing learner engagement. By enabling modelling, data visualization, language translation, and collaborative problem-solving, these tools support the development of critical thinking, creativity, and systems-level understanding. Real-world case studies demonstrate the application of Al in collaborative student projects across domains like. public health, climate change, and smart city planning. The chapter also critically addresses ethical considerations, including algorithmic bias, data privacy, inclusivity, and digital literacy. It concludes by emphasizing the need for informed and ethical implementation of Al in education, calling for collaborative efforts among educators, institutions, and policymakers to realize the full potential of these technologies in shaping a more connected and adaptive educational paradigm.
Environmental Studies: An Interdisciplinary Approach
(Bentham Science, 2026) Saman Raza, Tahmeena Khan, Manisha Singh
Environmental pollution and degradation have become a looming crisis in recent years and threaten to endanger the Earth and all life on it. Climate change, pollution, natural disasters, extinction of species, behavioural changes in living things, etc., are all pointing towards a huge environmental catastrophe. The only solution is the combined effort of people, governments, and nations to protect the environment, and this needs mass mobilization, which can be achieved through educating people. Environmental studies is a subject that plays an important role in spreading awareness about and finding solutions for environmental issues. This is an interdisciplinary subject that integrates disciplines like biology, chemistry, physics, geography, economics, political science, engineering, sociology, etc. Together, learners and professionals of these disciplines contribute towards bringing about positive changes in the environment. This chapter explores the interdisciplinary nature of Environmental Studies and highlights its importance.
Bridging Disciplines with a Particular Emphasis on Chemistry
(Bentham Science, 2026) Kulsum Hashmi, Tahmeena Khan, Manisha Singh, Saman Raza, Seema Joshi, Abdul Rahman Khan
Abstract: Interdisciplinary education has gained considerable attention in higher education institutions. The focus of interdisciplinary education is to integrate diverse perspectives and methods to solve complex real-life challenges. By integrating insights, methods, and knowledge from multiple academic fields, interdisciplinary teaching provides students with a comprehensive and integrated learning experience. Interdisciplinary learning is a highly complex area in modern education that, despite its importance, has not been sufficiently theorized or researched. The conventional teaching model limits students' development of comprehensive qualities and fails to fully engage students' interests. Several challenges are also presented by interdisciplinary education, despite its potential benefits. Integrating multiple disciplinary perspectives into a cohesive curriculum is one of the main obstacles. Faculty members are required to collaborate across departments and create innovative pedagogical approaches to bridge the gaps between disciplines. Integrated interdisciplinary teaching models have gradually emerged as effective strategies to address these challenges as a result of the continuous evolution of modern educational concepts. This paper investigates the aids and methods of interdisciplinary teaching, including project-based learning, problem-based learning, competency-based learning, and thematic learning. This study aims to explore the effects of interdisciplinary science learning on sustainability-focused education, with a particular emphasis on chemistry's inherent relationship to other disciplines. The integration of sustainable development concerns in teaching presents a productive opportunity as well as a challenge for chemistry education to strengthen its societal dimensions.
Interdisciplinarity Traditional Boundaries in Education: Beyond
(Bentham Science, 2026) Manisha Singh, Waseem Zahra, Arbind K Jha, Tahmeena Khan, Saman Raza
Progress in education is best achieved by using the best of every discipline. A field such as education can never progress in isolation. This chapter emphasizes several key points, including the concept of interdisciplinary, the differences between related terms such as interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and bridging disciplines. The chapter highlights the impact of an interdisciplinary approach in school and higher education. Further, it highlights the benefits of an interdisciplinary approach among two major stakeholders: students and teachers. Additionally, the chapter explores the characteristics of a multidisciplinary approach and the strategies, such as contextualising, conceptualising, and problem-centred teaching, employed in interdisciplinary teaching. The primary objective of this chapter is to provide insight into the concept of interdisciplinary education and its various dimensions.
