Talk:Outline of academic disciplines

Computer & Video Games

I believe that Computer & Video games should be listed as a recognized academic discipline (as, for example, film and radio are included). There are now several dedicated degree-level courses covering various facets of the discipline (e.g. tools & technology, software engineering, 3D art & animation, design, production management) and a growing body of academic literature and journals. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.69.23.39 (talk) 26 December 2007

Difference between this list and ‘List of academic fields’? Merge?

Can anyone explain what the difference is between this article and List of academic fields? Should these two lists be merged? Why or why not? In the talk section of Outline of academic disciplines the words "fields" and "disciplines" are used interchangeably. What is the difference? If a reasonable difference can be stated, shouldn't a suitable rationale for each article be given in each article's opening paragraph, helping reader's understand why each article exists and how it is differentiated from the other? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryan Close (talk • contribs) 15:39, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

I would second this. Merging this page into List of academic fields. Jamzze (talk) 20:36, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Universal List of Academic Disciplines?

The outline uses Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP 2000), Australian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification and Complete JACS as points of reference for the list.

Is there no "universal" outline on academic disciplines made by "official" sources? Any attempts at making one?

Separating the Arts from the Humanities?

The methods and methodologies employed by the arts and humanities vary considerably - I would argue these should be separated and 'The Arts' be given their own disciplinary area to highlight this significance. Jamzze (talk) 20:00, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

For example, looking at Dr Katrin Niglas outline of the methodology continuum, the 'Arts' are a distinct discipline . Jamzze (talk) 20:14, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Psychomotricity/Psychomotor Therapy to the Outline of Academic Disciplines

Dear Wikipedia editors,

I am writing to bring to your attention a notable omission in the "Outline of Academic Disciplines" on Wikipedia. The current outline does not include psychomotricity or psychomotor therapy, which are recognized fields of study and practice in various parts of the world. Psychomotricity, also known as psychomotor therapy, is an interdisciplinary field that integrates principles of psychology, neuroscience, and physical therapy to address cognitive, emotional, and motor functions. This discipline is particularly influential in the contexts of child development, special education, mental health, and rehabilitation. The inclusion of psychomotricity/psychomotor therapy in the outline of academic disciplines would enhance the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the resource, reflecting its relevance and importance in the academic and professional domains. Thank you for considering this request.

I believe this addition will be valuable for those seeking a complete view of the diverse academic disciplines.
