An Interdisciplinary Model to Implement General Education.
Hursh, Barbara; And Others
Journal of Higher Education, v54 n1 p42-59 Jan-Feb 1983

The works of Dewey, Piaget, and Perry provide the theoretical framework for an interdisciplinary model that takes cognitive development as the primary goal and disciplinary exposure as a by-product.
