monosubject

Monosubject is a term sometimes used in academic or research contexts to describe a focus or study that concentrates on a single subject or topic. It implies a deep dive into one area of interest, as opposed to a multidisciplinary approach that examines a subject from various angles or incorporates multiple disciplines. In education, a monosubject curriculum might emphasize mastery of a particular field over breadth of knowledge. In research, a monosubject study would typically involve investigating a single variable, phenomenon, or entity in great detail. This approach allows for thorough exploration and potentially a more profound understanding of the chosen subject. However, it can also be criticized for lacking the wider context or comparative insights that a broader perspective might offer. The term is not as widely established as terms like "multidisciplinary" or "interdisciplinary" and its usage can vary depending on the specific field or institution. Its core meaning, however, remains consistent: a singular focus.
