In Interdisciplinary Courses and Team Teaching: New Arrangements for Learning, James R. Davis explains the benefits and pitfalls of interdisciplinary, team-taught courses and provides current, practical information on how to design and conduct them. Using examples from existing courses, he presents a convincing argument that team-taught, interdisciplinary classes are an improvement over the traditional disciplinary structure. Dr. Davis uses these examples to construct an "ideal" template for college teachers and administrators interested in implementing this innovative teaching method. Dr. Davis includes a listing of nearly 100 interdisciplinary, team-taught courses currently being offered at colleges and universities in North America. The course entries are arranged by general categories, such as general education, women's and gender studies, professional and technical programs, and electives. Each entry includes course title, offering institution, intended audience, disciplines, personnel, a general description, distinctive features, and a contact person with address and phone/fax numbers.

Interdisciplinary teams and themes: A grounded theory case study on the humanitas model in urban high school settings Among an array of programs or pathways offered in secondary education, including interdisciplinary programs in STEAM, STEM, and VAPA, the adoption of one particular high school program has focused on teacher practice and curriculum development. The Humanitas model, which originated in the early 1990s, offers a program where students and teachers are put on teams and tracked to follow student academic growth and development of teacher practice. This qualitative, grounded-theory case study aims to explore how collaboration in interdisciplinary programs shapes teacher practice, curriculum, and instruction. This study looks at two high schools that are currently implementing the Humanitas teaching model. Through the interviews of on-site teachers, administrators, and counselors involved in the Humanitas program, this study aims to uncover how participation in this program shapes how teachers do their work. From data analysis, five themes emerged: (a) curriculum ownership, relevance, and academic freedom from the perspective of the participants; (b) teacher perceptions and their identity; (c) the team dynamic within the interdisciplinary Humanitas Model; (d) the professional roles on the team and how to navigate the various emotions, egos, and feelings on that team; and (e) communication with all stakeholders in order to create a balance within the program. Recommendations focus on continuing to research in the field of the Humanitas Model, expanding Humanitas education at more school sites to consider how other schools can promote social justice and adopt dimensions of the Humanitas program, ensuring that there is common planning time in order to have conversations to work on curriculum and instruction for the interdisciplinary-thematic part of program, and promoting team teaching across disciplines for heightened collaboration.

The style of leadership in an interdisciplinary collaboration is an existing gap in collaborative literature. Studying the leaders in an existing interdisciplinary collaboration provided a description of the leadership style of the collaborative leaders of three behavioral health teams in New York City. This qualitative phenomenological study used structured interviews of interdisciplinary disciplines to describe the leadership style of the collaborative leaders within a team environment. The data collection and analysis were conducted using codes to identify dominant themes. The themes presented perceptions and experiences of three teams interacting collaboratively. The coding process identified five major themes that are unique components of leadership that suggests new methods of building collaborative leadership within the interdisciplinary team dynamics.

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects and impact of interdisciplinary teaming on teacher practices and efficacy. This study revealed the perspectives of eight 7th and 8th grade teachers, who teach one of the core disciplines (English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies) and the school principal by interviewing them for this case study in an Essential Elements School-to-Watch in Nassau County, New York. It included perceptions from the other 7th and 8th grade teachers on interdisciplinary teams through focus groups and observations during team meetings. Document analysis was performed on artifacts that were collected during the observations. Data were triangulated in order to reveal emerging and prevalent themes regarding the perceptions of teachers about interdisciplinary teaming. There is a need to explore effective interdisciplinary teaming and its effect and impact on teaching practices and teacher efficacy in a middle school environment. Proponents suggest that teachers on interdisciplinary teams in middle schools will have a strong sense of belonging and that their teaching practices will be changed and influenced by each other. In addition, teachers and students feel part of this small community team, which will lead to success for both groups. The National Forum, National Association of Middle Schools, and Essential Elements Schools-to-Watch believe that interdisciplinary teaming is a middle school best practice. Therefore, this study explored the impact of different factors that contribute to a successful interdisciplinary team that emerge through the teachers' perceptions regarding practices and efficacy.

This collection stems from the International Association of Societies of Design Research (IASDR) congress in 2021, promoting the research of design in its many fields of application. Today's design finds itself at a critical moment where the conventional ‘modes’ of doing, thinking and application are increasingly challenged by the troubled ideology of globalisation, climate change, migration patterns and the rapid restructuring of locally driven manufacturing sectors. The volume presents a selection of papers on state-of-the-art design research work. As rapid technological development has been pushing and breaking new ground in society, the broad field of design is facing many unprecedented changes. In combination with the environmental, cultural, technological, and, crucially, pandemic transitions, design at large is called to fundamentally alter its modes of practice. Beyond the conventional models of conducting research, or developing solutions to ‘wicked’ problems, the recoupling of design with different modes should be seen as an expression to embrace other capacities of thinking, criticisms and productions. This selection of proceedings papers delivers the latest insights into design from a multitude of perspectives, as reflected in the eight thematic modes of the congress ; i.e., [social] , [making] , [business] , [critical], [historical/projective], [impact], [pandemic], and [alternative] with design modes. The book benefits design researchers from both academia and industry who are interested in the latest design research results, as well as in innovative design research methods. In presenting an interesting corpus of design case studies as well as studies of design impact, this comprehensive collection is of relevance to design theorists and students, as well as scholars in related fields seeking to understand how design plays a critical role in their respective domains.
