Subject Oriented and Interdisciplinary Teaching and Learning on Higher Education – What Can We Learn from Each Other?

In March 2010 the 4th Dortmund Spring School for Academic Staff Developers took place at TU Dortmund in cooperation with the German Association for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (dghd). The main question of the conference was: What can we learn from subject oriented and interdisciplinary practitioners when we reflect, design and develop teaching and learning, pedagogical strategies and learning as well as teaching methods? The conference did reflect the relation between subject-oriented and interdisciplinary academic development in higher education. In this special issue papers from the conference focused on empirical findings and practical experiences are published regarding what requirements of subject-specific and interdisciplinary development affect concepts of continuing education.
