Assessing the Impact of Interdisciplinary Education on Student Engagement and Achievement

Abstract

Interdisciplinary education is increasingly recognized as a crucial approach to enhancing student engagement and achievement. This paper explores the impact of interdisciplinary educational methodologies on student outcomes, focusing on engagement levels, academic performance, and the development of critical thinking skills. By integrating multiple disciplines, educators can provide students with a more holistic understanding of complex topics, fostering a deeper connection to the material and promoting higher-order thinking skills. This study employs both quantitative and qualitative research methods to assess the effectiveness of interdisciplinary education in various educational settings across Pakistan. The findings reveal that interdisciplinary approaches significantly improve student engagement and achievement, with implications for curriculum development and instructional strategies in diverse educational contexts.
