For over a decade, Project Zero researchers at the Harvard Graduate School of Education have been studying interdisciplinary work across a range of settings. They have found interdisciplinary understanding to be crucial for modern-thinking students. [2] Developing a cognitive and social model of interdisciplinary learning is still a challenge. [3]
