Interdisciplinariedad es un término que expresa la cualidad de ser interdisciplinario. Un campo interdisciplinario es un campo de estudio que cruza los límites tradicionales entre varias disciplinas académicas o entre varias escuelas de pensamiento, por el surgimiento de nuevas necesidades o la elección de nuevas profesiones. En principio, el término «interdisciplinario» se aplica en el campo pedagógico al tipo de trabajo científico que requiere metodológicamente de la colaboración de diversas y diferentes disciplinas y, en general, la colaboración de especialistas procedentes de diversas áreas tradicionales. La interdisciplinariedad involucra grupos de investigadores, estudiantes y maestros con el objetivo de vincular e integrar muchas escuelas de pensamiento, profesiones o tecnologías, –aun con sus perspectivas específicas–, en la búsqueda de un fin común. La epidemiología del SIDA o el calentamiento global requieren comprender varias disciplinas para resolver problemas irresolutos. Otros autores han definido la interdisciplinariedad como un conjunto de disciplinas conexas entre sí y con relaciones definidas, a fin de que sus actividades no se produzcan en forma aislada, dispersa y fraccionada.

Interdisciplinarity involves the combining of two or more academic disciplines into one activity (e.g., a research project). It is about creating something new by crossing boundaries, and thinking across them. It is related to an interdiscipline or an interdisciplinary field, which is an organizational unit that crosses traditional boundaries between academic disciplines or schools of thought, as new needs and professions emerge. The term interdisciplinary is applied within education and training pedagogies to describe studies that use methods and insights of several established disciplines or traditional fields of study. Interdisciplinarity involves researchers, students, and teachers in the goals of connecting and integrating several academic schools of thought, professions, or technologies—along with their specific perspectives—in the pursuit of a common task. The epidemiology of AIDS or global warming require understanding of diverse disciplines to solve complex problems. Interdisciplinary may be applied where the subject is felt to have been neglected or even misrepresented in the traditional disciplinary structure of research institutions, for example, women's studies or ethnic area studies. Interdisciplinarity can likewise be applied to complex subjects that can only be understood by combining the perspectives of two or more fields. The adjective interdisciplinary is most often used in educational circles when researchers from two or more disciplines pool their approaches and modify them so that they are better suited to the problem at hand, including the case of the team-taught course where students are required to understand a given subject in terms of multiple traditional disciplines. For example, the subject of land use may appear differently when examined by different disciplines, for instance, biology, chemistry, economics, geography, and politics.
