Learning challenges, student strategies, and the outcomes of education in interdisciplinary thinking
consequence of the T-M approach, four disciplinary knowledge connections are possible between the technology and management-related disciplines. The arrows in Figure 5.2 illustrate these four connections, which are between (1) food dynamics and human dynamics (fd–hd), (2) food dynamics and administrative conditions (fd–ac), (3) technological conditions and human dynamics (tc–hd), and (4) technological conditions and administrative conditions (tc–ac). Broad IDT learning outcomes in FQM should demonstrate these four kinds of connections.
