Interdisciplinary learning in education: A focus on physics and physical education

Sport Science
Journal · Vol. 9 · pp. 22-28
Abstract

This article concerns the literature review of interdisciplinarity as an approach used in teaching and learning. It not only includes contributions from different disciplines, but also focuses on theoretical as well as practical work from Physics and Physical Education. It is an attempt to cross the boundaries of the two disciplines involved. Future studies, based on this review, will consider the teaching and learning process between Physics and Physical Education in an attempt to examine how this method can be effective in student learning. © 2016, Univerzitet u Travniku.
