Interdisciplinarity also includes an ability to recognize the strengths or weaknesses of one‟s own disciplinary perspective, but also recognize the shared assumptions, skills or knowledge among disciplines.”20The research design and methods of this study were influenced by specific qualities ofinterdisciplinary understanding at the collegiate level21-22. Boix Mansilla and Duraisingh (2007;2009) worked to determine a comprehensive definition of what constitutes a student‟sinterdisciplinary understanding based upon faculty assessment of student interdisciplinaryresearch.

Beginning in the 1970’s, education researchers and educators began to identifyconceptual shortcomings in students and the propensity for students to carry with them strongly-held misconceptions describing how the world around them worked.1 Based on this perspective,Halloun and Hestenes developed the Force Concept Inventory (FCI), an instrument to measurestudents’ fundamental conceptual understanding of Newtonian mechanics.2,3 The FCI led to atransformation in physics education in which a renewed focus on conceptual understandingreplaced some of the emphasis on routine problem-solving.As the positive effect of the FCI on physics education has become more widely known, ConceptInventories have emerged in many science

In the first step, thetarget directory structure is built followed by appropriate target files, make files, andhook files. In the next step, the appropriate Target Language Compiler (TLC) files andS-functions of each block are created.

Trust is defined by Avolio et al., (2000) quoting (Mayer, Davis, & Schoorman , 1995, p.712) as “the willingness of a team member to be vulnerable to the actions of other teammember(s) based on the expectation that the other(s) will perform a particular action important tothe trustor, irrespective of the ability to monitor or control other team member(s).”Trust is critical in virtual work since direct supervision, similarity in backgrounds, andexperience and a common form of social control in traditional workforce are not feasible. Hence,leadership in virtual workforce should facilitate the formation of trust building in a virtualworkforce context. As a result, the effects of leadership on trust should not be underestimated.Since
