Students from both interdisciplinary and disciplinary programs at UiO are recruited to compare results across programs. Each semester start, students in the various programs receive a survey. The survey is based on Schijf et al. (2022)[1] and Lattuca et al. (2013)[2] questionnaires, which have been tested and validated to measure students interdisciplinary understanding. The feedback and responses from students in this survey are crucial for examining the relationships between current educational programs and the development of students' interdisciplinary competence. The project will extend over a period of four years, during which we will monitor several study programs.
