“…The study was motivated by an issue which affects education internationally: the capacity of schools to adequately prepare students for some of the cross-disciplinary questions they are likely to encounter as future citizens and scholars (Lederman, Antink, & Bartos, 2014;Ratcliffe & Grace, 2003;Tytler, 2007). There are numerous important questions which in the view of many scholars should not be addressed from the perspective of science alone (McComas, 2002), and schools are under increasing pressure to give students more opportunities to ask and explore questions that bridge the sciences and the humanities (Dodick & Shuchat, 2014;Tytler, 2007). To illustrate why cross-disciplinary thinking is likely to become increasingly important in research and in public forums, we notice that many researchers studying human health and personality are now using cross-disciplinary frameworks to help them capture the range of factors that seem to be important (Rose, 2013).…”
