“La interdisciplinariedad es algo excelente si se sustenta firmemente en la disciplinariedad. Cada

asignatura se debe considerar una herramienta eficaz, no un fin en sí misma. Debemos mantener su identidad y, sobre todo, su propia metodología. Solo

de esta manera podremos construir una verdadera interdisciplinariedad. De lo contrario, solo

lograremos confundir a nuestros alumnos y abordar las materias superficialmente.”

Gérard Renaud, 1989

“La comprensión interdisciplinaria es la capacidad de integrar conocimientos y formas de pensar de dos o más disciplinas para crear una nueva perspectiva ... una nueva comprensión ... no sustituye a la enseñanza disciplinaria, sino que la amplía.”

Verónica Boix Mansilla, miembro del equipo Harvard Project Zero
