Assessing Student Attitudes and Understanding of Interdisciplinarity: Introducing the SATIS Survey

Educational systems still struggle to institutionalize cross-disciplinary collaboration among educators in post-secondary institutions.Furthermore, there is limited understanding of how exposure to interdisciplinary learning might influence students' epistemic beliefs.To address this gap, our team developed and piloted the Student Attitude Toward Interdisciplinarity Survey (SATIS).Preliminary findings reveal that while students acknowledge the importance of integrating multiple disciplines to tackle complex problems, it remains uncertain whether they independently apply knowledge from diverse courses to real-world challenges.
