Abstract


This study explores innovative teaching practices in higher education to align with emerging trends in teacher education. It presents a multidisciplinary project implemented in the Business Administration program at the University Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid, Spain. The project involved three professors from finance, law, and business disciplines across two faculties, collaborating to design a practical, problem-based activity that bridges theoretical knowledge with real-world application. Inspired by Scandinavian pedagogical models, this approach fosters active learning, critical thinking, and creativity. Findings reveal significant improvements in students' knowledge acquisition, motivation, and engagement, highlighting the effectiveness of interdisciplinary collaboration in enhancing both academic and professional competencies. The results demonstrate the potential of this replicable model to contribute to the advancement of teacher education and prepare students for dynamic workplace challenges.
