• Definition:– “The term interdisciplinary is
used to describe an approach to learning and knowledge that integrates and benefits from the understanding and application of the approaches of different subjects and disciplines.”
– In other words, mixing two or more courses to make another.
1. What is Interdisciplinary Studies?
(Source: The Ontario Curriculum: Grades 11 and 12. Interdisciplinary Studies. MOE. Page 4.)

• Three course codes approved by the MOE:– IDC3O– IDC4O– IDC4U (prerequisite: any 3U course)
• Course code rules– Trillium accepts only unique course
codes• Students can only take a maximum of three
IDC courses (that can be recognized as a part of their diploma)
Interdisciplinary Studies Rules
Financial Securities

Interdisciplinary Studies and Business StudiesMichael A. Goldberg, #GD2B, February 15, 2013
• All three course codes (courses) have three strands:
1. Theory and Foundation2. Processes and Methods of Research3. Implementation, Evaluation, Impacts,
and Consequences
• The expectations from these strands are combined with the expectations from the contributing courses to form units of study
Interdisciplinary Studies Rules

Why Offer an Interdisciplinary Studies Course?
• The courses (Business or otherwise) offered are much more attractive to students than traditional course offerings– Financial Securities– Sports and Entertainment Marketing– “real world” comment!
• Focus on research (ie. Thinking) sets students up for post-secondary study
• IDC courses (in Business) tend to ADD SECTIONS to Business Studies departments– Eg. Financial Securities was the most popular
grade 12 business course at MCI this year

Why Offer an Interdisciplinary Studies Course?
• IDC courses (in Business) tend to ADD SECTIONS to Business Studies departments– Eg. Financial Securities was the most popular
grade 12 business course at MCI this year– At MCI when we first offered Financial
Securities we gained two sections!• IDC courses make your department (and
school) look more attractive– I’ve had students transfer from IB programmes
to take a wider variety of courses (like Financial Securities)
• ‘U’ Course (Financial Securities) in Business Studies!

Interdisciplinary Studies Course - Challenges
• IDC courses often have no text book – teachers must be very resourceful
• It takes a while to develop a solid course• You need the right person teaching it• Teachers (and students) need to be
flexible– The course often runs in different ways than
a traditional course (may confuse students)– Lots of projects, less focus on tests!
