Abstract

Abstract Interdisciplinarity is a vital topicality in contemporary education and science. In general education of Latvia, the concept ‘integrated learning’ is traditionally used. The question is, if interdisciplinary teaching/learning differs from conventional approaches, or it means something completely new in terms of study content organisation and a pupil’s self-regulated learning. In order to find it out, the article analyses the concept of interdisciplinary teaching/learning in comparison with the integrated learning and identifies their common and distinctive features.
