This type of consensus requires collaborative problem framing (Defila & Di Giulio, 2015, p. 125). In P. Gibbs (Ed.). Brown, V. A., Harris, J. The research project or transdisciplinary enterprise culminates in a synthesis of reprocessed, related and brought together contributions emergent during the team work. Interdisciplinary curriculum reform in the changing university. Those engaged in such work can benefit from the results of conceptual literature reviews, which contain synthesized data from selective literature. Human Resource Development Review, 10(1), 6-25. Transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to teaching and learning offer occasions to consider the same issue from different disciplinary perspectives. Methodology of transdisciplinarity-Levels of reality, logic of the included middle and complexity. Sue L. T.

(2006) Three strategies for interdisciplinary teaching: contextualizing, conceptualizing, and problemcentring. Multiple disciplinary teamwork has both benefits and drawbacks. Advantages of the Curriculum Based Method: It's highly structured approach to learning gives new and uncertain home educators a solid framework to rely on. McGregor, S. L. T. (2009). Transdisciplinary teaching and learning that leads students along a pathway to convergence has many different names that you may be familiar with alreadyphenomenon-based learning, problem-based learning, place-based learning, project-based learning, civic engagement, inquiry-based learning, entrepreneurship education, and applied learning. Polk, M. (2015). Key aspects of collaboration. Integrated learning is the most rudimentary level of collaboration across disciplines. Transdisciplinarity: Joint problem solving among science, technology, and society. In their 2020 Future Work Skills report, The Institute for the Future think tank emphasizes the need for the skills transdisciplinarity develops: Many of todays global problems are just too complex to be solved by one specialized discipline (think global warming or overpopulation). In G. P. Hampson & M. Rich-Tolsma (Eds. Integral Leadership Review, 9(2). All rights reserved. Day. Beyond these abstract initiatives, transdisciplinarity is now being implemented in practice, including research, policy development, practical (on-the-ground) problem solving, curriculum development, and entrepreneurial initiatives (e.g., Du Plessis, Sehume, & Martin, 2013; Hirsch Hadorn et al., 2008; Klein et al., 2001; Leavy, 2011; Pohl & Hirsch Hadorn, 2007; Shrivastava & Ivanaj, 2011). The main purpose of transdisciplinary work is to bring reflexivity into processes of knowledge production. It can happen on three levels (Wickson et al., 2006). The Smithsonian and other federal agencies that support STEAM teachers are here to help. The recursive approach to integrating or synthesizing knowledge is based on learning to be reflexive together, that is the people who pose the problems, those who are implicated in the problems and those who help deal with them (p. 117). In the future, other scholars should conduct similar reviews to help build a richer map of the transdisciplinary collaboration terrain. Futures, 65(1), 1-9. 134-146). They serve as much needed summaries and time-savers for researchers, professionals, practitioners, and academics because they produce a central resource, a point of reference, for future work on the topic (Close et al., 2005). 2 Department of Psychology, Anna Maria College, Paxton, MA, United States.
