Description
Summary:enThis article describes the application of the principles of interdisciplinarity and problem-solving strategy in the context of an interdisciplinary Master's degree and more particularly through its Practical Application Project (PAP) module. Principles of integration, collaboration and non-disciplinary synthesis/conception of reality are at the heart of the skills that students must develop through their work related to the module, which is based in particular on experiential learning in the context of projects focused on solving real world issues. After presenting the theoretical elements and their application in the PAP, we detail the elements and results of an empirical study designed to collect the evaluations of students who have experienced the pedagogical approach of the PAP. These evaluations aimed to determine students' interest and motivation in the PAP, their perception of the quality of supervision, their understanding of expectations, their perception of the integration of the PAP into the study plan, their achievement of objectives, their perception of the module evaluations, their perception of the strengths, weaknesses and improvements to the PAP. These evaluations thus sought to evaluate the relevance of the development of interdisciplinary principles among students. Results indicated that the evaluations were mostly positive, indicating a positive vision of the PAP and the achievement of learning goals. These results were then discussed with particular attention to the opportunities for improvement identified by the students as well as the possibility of a fusion between the various strategies in order to optimize pedagogical practices.
