MULTIDISCIPLINARY STRATEGY: TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM

Abstract

The multidisciplinary strategy is a special technique in education programs. It is a novel approach to curriculum integration that uses different subjects to highlight a theme, subject, or problem. A curriculum that is multidisciplinary uses different disciplines to study the same subject or body of knowledge. It is an effective teaching strategy that transcends disciplinary or curriculum borders to improve and enrich the subject matter. This strategy is incredibly helpful and pertinent for integrating teacher education programs and improving their acceptance and quality. As a result, the nation's multidisciplinary approach to teacher education has gained momentum thanks to the National Education Policy-2020. In many fields of study, including the arts, sciences, humanities, commerce, social sciences, professional and vocational, and other fields of education, multidisciplinary approaches to teacher education programs will undoubtedly produce well-rounded people with essential 21st-century skills. In order to use this strategy to improve and expand classroom learning, teachers must acquire nearly all of the necessary skills and knowledge. Thus, with particular reference to NEP-2020, this article outlines the various benefits and drawbacks of a multidisciplinary teacher education program and offers pertinent recommendations
