What does discipline integration mean?

Discipline integration refers to the activity of constantly breaking the boundaries of disciplines and promoting the mutual infiltration and intersection between disciplines on the basis of recognizing the differences of disciplines.

1. The differentiation of disciplines is the inevitable result of the deepening and refinement of academic research, and it also strongly promotes the development of science.

2. The boundaries of disciplines have been re-divided, and some interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research fields have begun to appear in large numbers, and the legitimacy of disciplines has gradually been established in universities. It can be seen that the development of disciplines is moving from "integration" to "differentiation" and towards a new round of "integration".

3. The meanings of these two "combinations" are very different. On the basis of recognizing the differences between disciplines, they constantly break the boundaries of disciplines and promote the activities of mutual infiltration and intersection between disciplines.

4.1901-During 2008, interdisciplinary research achievements accounted for 52% of the total number of Nobel natural science prizes, and this proportion has reached 66.7% in the last eight years.

5. The integration of disciplines requires scholars to carry out interdisciplinary research regularly at the boundaries of disciplines, and scholars with multidisciplinary knowledge backgrounds are more likely to cross knowledge and produce innovative ideas.

Measures of subject integration:

1. Building an interdisciplinary research organization is an important measure to promote the integration of disciplines and cultures. The development of modern science needs multidisciplinary knowledge to study complex problems, but the formal discipline organization of universities is divided by discipline classification and pursues the specialization and deepening of a single discipline.

2. Interdisciplinary organizations are established based on interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research topics and fields, reflecting the relationship and role between disciplines.

3. On the one hand, colleges and universities adjust the existing discipline organizations and integrate the subdivided departments, so that a large college has multiple departments, including a wide range of disciplines, in order to eliminate the barriers between narrow discipline organizations, on the other hand, they flexibly establish various forms of interdisciplinary research centers.
