- Abstract
The concept of interdisciplinary education was proposed as early as 1926, and now the interdisciplinary setting of programs has been widely used in universities from all over the world. In recent years, many scholars have conducted in-depth research on the cultivation method of interdisciplinarity in combination with relevant factual cases. On the basis of systematically summarizing the results of existing literature of interdisciplinary researches, this paper focuses on two points: First, the rationality in the development of interdisciplinary education, and second, the obstacles faced in the development of interdisciplinary education in China. The research finds that the rationality is as follows: one is the drawbacks of the traditional division of disciplines, and the other is the increase in the society’s demand for compound graduate talents. The obstacles faced in the development of this kind of disciplines can also be summarized into two points. The first one is the scope of interdisciplinary programs is more ambiguous than the general disciplines, which creates cognitive problems within such disciplines, and the second one is the institutional problem in constructing interdisciplinary programs, causing a shortage of educational resources for such disciplines.
