This thesis explores the use of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) as transformative tools for interdisciplinary learning. By merging multiple fields, such as science, technology, arts, and humanities, VR and AR offer immersive experiences that engage learners, enhance critical thinking, and promote collaboration. The study examines the theoretical foundations of VR/AR in education, their application in interdisciplinary teaching, and the challenges of implementation. Through literature reviews and case studies, this research highlights the potential of VR/AR technologies to break traditional subject boundaries and prepare students for complex real-world challenges.
