Interdisciplinary pedagogy can enhance Introduction to Psychology curricula. We developed an interdisciplinary project to make meaning in a learning community (LC) clustering Introduction to Psychology with Introduction to Criminal Justice. Our purpose is to describe the project as a model and report on students’ evaluations of the project and their academic progress. We collected questionnaire data about students’ experiences completing the project. Results were positive with most students valuing make meaning, feeling more connected to psychology and expressing satisfaction. We measured student learning using project grades and final grades in the psychology course. Participants performed satisfactory on the project and outperformed a comparison group in the Introduction to Psychology course. Findings demonstrate the value of interdisciplinary pedagogy in psychology curricula.

跨学科教学法可以增强“心理学课程简介”。我们开发了一个跨学科项目，以在学习型社区（LC）的基础上将心理学入门和刑事司法入门结合起来。我们的目的是将项目描述为一个模型，并报告学生对该项目的评价及其学业进展。我们收集了有关学生完成项目的经历的问卷数据。结果是积极的，大多数学生都重视有意义，感到与心理学联系更紧密，并表示满意。我们使用心理学课程中的项目成绩和期末成绩来衡量学生的学习情况。参与者对该项目的表现令人满意，并且在“心理学概论”课程中的表现优于对照组。
