This study aims to explore the patterns of interdisciplinary learning among university students and their career choices, analyzing the initial timing of engagement in interdisciplinary learning, the proportion of interdisciplinary credits taken, its impact on their performance in their major, and post-graduation career trends. The data for this analysis consisted of 2,860 responses from the Graduate Trajectory Survey for the years 105-107, coupled with detailed records of courses taken, credits, and grades during their studies. The findings are fourfold: (1) A minority of students begin interdisciplinary learning upon entering their first year, while the majority engage during their sophomore and junior years; (2) Students with different levels of interdisciplinary involvement vary in their commitment to their major or interdisciplinary credits during their studies; (3) Students heavily engaged in interdisciplinary learning do not see their performance in their major negatively affected and often outperform those with no or light interdisciplinary involvement; (4) Students heavily involved in interdisciplinary learning show a higher inclination towards employment, while others are more likely to pursue further studies, reflecting different focus and dynamic changes in interdisciplinary learning during their university years. Based on empirical evidence, this research offers recommendations for teaching environments, learning communities, and future studies, serving as a reference for educators and researchers. |
