The key to the difference between interdisciplinary education and thematic teaching is that it can not only make up for the deficiency of thematic courses, but also wisely admit the rationality of thematic courses and promote the completion of comprehensive education and overall education tasks in a safe way. Judging from the orientation and expression of interdisciplinary theme learning in the new curriculum standards of various disciplines, there are different types of interdisciplinary theme learning in different classes.

We can classify interdisciplinary subject learning from two dimensions. One is based on the position of knowledge in interdisciplinary learning, and the other is based on the number of leading disciplines in interdisciplinary learning. The division of the first dimension is based on the knowledge orientation of interdisciplinary theme learning in the new curriculum standards of various disciplines.

It can be roughly divided into "using knowledge to solve complex problems" and "using interdisciplinary topics to learn knowledge". The classification of the second dimension is the dominant discipline based on practical operation, which can be roughly divided into "interdisciplinary thematic learning led by a single discipline" and "interdisciplinary thematic learning led by multiple disciplines".

With the wide implementation of interdisciplinary thematic learning, more dimensions will be observed and more types will be formed in educational practice.

The importance of interdisciplinary education;

1, broaden students' horizons, enhance their understanding of knowledge and enhance their comprehensive ability.

2. Broaden teachers' knowledge and promote their professional development.

3. Promote the communication and collision between disciplines and expand teachers' teaching horizons.
