Hello, I am required to ask a question and evaluate this article for a class I am taking, so here is my question. As I was reading I thought of how this information could be relevant to high school students. As a future educator and from personal experience, deciding on a focused major can be filled with anxiety. This is because students in high school learn a little bit of everything and are not taught the importance of being experts on any subejct. How can we introduce academic discipline in a high school setting? Especially in classes such as chemistry, biology, or physics?

Evaluation The article was well written and based on what needed to be fixed, for example: add more references to back up information has been added. I would not say there is good as is. P.f.n96 (talk) 19:21, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Philosophy is metadisciplinary rather than cross-disciplinary

Philosophy has various subareas that can be about other disciplines in some sense, e.g. philosophy of physics, philosophy of art, philosophy of biology, philosophy of psychology. But this isn't quite like applying physics to music, so cross-disciplinary as defined in the entry doesn't seem the right term for this. Philosophy raises questions about the fundamental assumptions of other disciplines, in which capacity it acts as a discipline about other disciplines. Hence the term "metadisciplinary" would be more appropriate (cf. metaethics, metalogic, metalanguage). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.76.94.35 (talk) 2011-06-21T16:04:10 (UTC)

Major revision needed

This article near completely lacks references. All sections without reference should be removed - it reads like a baseless personal opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.188.175.199 (talk) 02:40, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

This article was using made up words. I removed those. It also had a completely wrong definition for transdisciplinary (which is still not a word according to the Oxford but is on dictionary.com so I kept it) StevenHickson (talk) 03:25, 24 March 2012 (UTC)Steven Hickson

<These categories explain how the different academic disciplines interact with one another.> I am confused as to the interactions portion of the document. What purpose does it serve for the article? Elizabethhadams (talk) 21:23, 18 November 2019 (UTC)Elizabethhadams

Why was this moved to Discipline (specialism)?

 Fixed

The word specialism isn't even used once in the article. We were going to merge everything to Academic discipline. Now we have this strange title. The title should changed back to Academic discipline. If we really have to have a parenthetic title it should be Discipline (academic) like Tenure (academic) Bhny (talk) 03:55, 24 November 2012 (UTC).

I fixed this a while ago by moving it to "Discipline (academia)" Bhny (talk) 18:12, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Credibility

I would say the article is well-developed but could use some fixes such as including more sources for more credibility. I think more sources need to be incorporated throughout the text. Tyetenekian1 (talk) 04:22, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

I wonder about whether interdisciplinary should be included under the Interactions section. This thought occurred to me, since the term is mentioned frequently in other parts of the article, but not here. Beck Woollen (talk) 16:40, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Discipline (academia) → Academic discipline – Per WP:NATURALDISAMBIG Rreagan007 (talk) 02:30, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

• Support more natural. buidhe 05:32, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
• Lean Oppose Although the proposed title may sound better, I think it may be less clearer. Academia has a strong collegiate connotation, but academic can also apply to secondary schooling. ~ HAL333 20:01, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
  • There is a strong preference to avoid using parenthetical disambiguation in article titles if possible. In this case, the article already uses the term "academic discipline" for this topic, so that's what the article title should be. Rreagan007 (talk) 07:18, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
• Support. Natural disambiguation, more commonly used than "discipline" alone and clear primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:05, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
