Recently, there has been a trend towards adding a multidisciplinary or multicultural element
to traditional monodisciplinary project courses in computing and engineering. In this article,
we examine the implications of multidisciplinarity for students’ learning experiences during
a one-semester project course for real customers. We use a qualitative research approach and
base our analysis on students’ learning reports on three instances of a project course titled
Multidisciplinary working life project. The main contribution of this article is the unified
theoretical picture of the learning mechanisms stemming from multidisciplinarity. Our main
conclusions are that (1) students generally have a positive view of multidisciplinarity; (2)
multidisciplinary teams enable students to better identify their own expertise, which leads
to increased occupational identity; and (3) learning experiences are not fixed, as team spirit
and student attitude play an important role in how students react to challenging situations
arising from introduction of the multidisciplinarity.

Open-Ended Projects Opened Up : Aspects of Openness
Nylen, Aletta; Isomöttönen, Ville; Daniels, Mats; McDermott, Roger (IEEE, 2017)Abstract—One of the most important areas of competence for professional engineers is the ability to function well in project work, in particular they need to be able to efficiently solve open-ended problems in different ... -
Student participation in peer interaction : use of material resources as a key consideration in an open-ended problem-solving mathematics task
Moate, Josephine; Kuntze, Sebastian; Chan, Man Ching Esther (LUMA Centre Finland, 2021)This study explores how students deal with material resources in their peer interaction when working in pairs in an open-ended problem-solving task. The productive use of material resources can be expected to support ... -
Threats to validity when using open-ended items in international achievement studies : Coding responses to the PISA 2012 problem-solving test in Finland
Arffman, Inga (Routledge, 2016)Open-ended (OE) items are widely used to gather data on student performance in international achievement studies. However, several factors may threaten validity when using such items. This study examined Finnish coders’ ...
