Student Capability Development and Assessment in Interdisciplinary Graduate Education

Abstract

This study examines the practices of interdisciplinary graduate education in China and Singapore to assess its impact on students' critical thinking, innovation abilities, and teamwork skills. By analyzing and comparing educational models in both countries, the research aims to reveal effective teaching and assessment strategies and to develop a framework suitable for evaluating the effectiveness of interdisciplinary education. The findings indicate that while interdisciplinary education significantly enhances students' comprehensive abilities, several challenges persist in its implementation and assessment, including the complexity of curriculum design and the need for appropriate assessment tools. The study emphasizes the need for educators to innovate and adapt curriculum and assessment systems to ensure the effectiveness and adaptability of educational activities.
