“…Multidisciplinary forms of integration retain the emphasis on the individual disciplines, while interdisciplinary integration mixes all the subjects in a way that they can't be easily separated and the boundaries among subjects get blurry (Wang, Moore, Roehrig, & Park, 2011). The process of interdisciplinary teaching and learning should begin in elementary school (Carrier, Faulkner, & Bottomley, 2016) and gain complexity as learners get older. This will require teachers to shift their thinking and practice in order to prepare children with the authentic inquiry-oriented experiences needed to make interdisciplinary learning possible (Carrier et al, 2016;Feiman-Nemser, 2001).…”
