초록

In the contemporary academic landscape, there is a notable shift from purely information-driven approaches to those emphasizing convergence, creativity, and innovation. This study examines the principles and characteristics of interdisciplinary education in premier educational institutions. Through in-depth interviews, field visits, literature reviews, and case analyses, we analyzed representative interdisciplinary programs. Our findings reveal that successful interdisciplinary education requires: (1) broad disciplinary convergence, (2) the establishment of independent educational institutions and specialized programs, (3) collaboration between faculty and practitioners from diverse academic backgrounds, (4) physical spaces that facilitate active communication and collaboration, and (5) effective operation of workshops and systems that support students' creative ideas. These insights offer fundamental parameters for designing and implementing interdisciplinary education programs and serve as a crucial reference for future academic and pedagogical endeavors.
