Cross-disciplinary problem-solving takes place when the student uses information, methods of thinking, and/or rules from one discipline and applies it to another.  Cross-disciplinary problem-solving is an element of critical thinking because it displays that the student sees the infinite realm of knowledge and that the student can reach more areas of it when she applies one discipline to another.

Examples of disciplines include language, music, mathematics, history, science etc.
