A Systematic Review on Multidisciplinary Technological Approaches in Higher Education

Abstract

Multidisciplinary has become increasingly popular in higher education, especially in the digital era. However, the different focus of the existing literature, which indicates the effectiveness of applying multidisciplinary technological approaches, has not been sufficiently discussed despite its profound significance in the higher learning setting. To fill such a gap, the PRISMA guidelines and two supporting databases, Scopus and Web of Science, were employed to examine recent studies conducted over the last decade. Significant findings from the 19 selected articles indicate the issues of sustainability, student employability, complex thinking, pre-service teacher training, and teaching innovation were the five key themes that prove the benefits of multidisciplinary technological methods to improve the quality of higher education. This review holds significant implications for educational practitioners, policymakers, and researchers, offering valuable insights that may guide the adoption and implementation of multidisciplinary technological approaches in higher education.
