Interdisciplinary Research and Its Impact on Learners Attitude

Abstract

Interdisciplinary research helps to turn bi-modal nature of phenomenon into success as interdisciplinary research ensures the synergy between two contrasting modes or forms. However, students attitude to interdisciplinary research has not been analyzed. The purpose of the contribution is to analyze students attitude to interdisciplinary research underpinning elaboration of a hypothesis on ensuring students positive attitude to interdisciplinary research within university studies. The meaning of the key concepts of interdisciplinary research and students attitude is studied. Moreover, the logical chain of analysis is shown: interdisciplinary research->students attitude->empirical study within a multicultural environment. Directions of further research are proposed. The novel contribution of the paper is the notion and phases of interdisciplinary research worked out by the papers authors.

Keywords: Interdisciplinary Research, University Studies, Students Attitude, Emotions
