fächerübergreifendes

Fächerübergreifendes, meaning interdisciplinary or cross-curricular, refers to educational approaches that connect knowledge and skills from different academic subjects. Instead of teaching subjects in isolation, fächerübergreifendes learning aims to demonstrate how concepts and methodologies are related across various disciplines. This can involve projects, thematic units, or problem-based learning scenarios that require students to draw upon and integrate information from, for example, science and history, or mathematics and art.

The goal of fächerübergreifendes education is to foster a more holistic understanding of the world and to equip students with the ability to think critically and solve complex problems. By seeing the connections between different areas of study, students can develop a deeper appreciation for the relevance of what they are learning and how it applies to real-world situations. This approach can also enhance engagement and motivation by making learning more dynamic and contextually rich. It encourages students to transfer knowledge and skills acquired in one subject to another, promoting a more flexible and adaptive learning process. Implementation can vary, from informal links between subjects by teachers to formally structured curricula designed around interdisciplinary themes.
