Transdisciplinaritatea – un model integrat de abordare a instruirii

Abstract

This article focuses on identifying possibilities to achieve the essential elements entailed by transversal, transdisciplinary learning, through classic subjects. Transdisciplinarity in science is a model for reuniting scientific concerns, especially through their methodological dimension. In the case of education, this is possible mainly by reuniting the predominant types of learning (and action) activities, which are broadly similar for all educational domains. Building on the model imagined by D’Hainaut, a new model was elaborated, with 30 predominantly transversal learning activities. Their number could be greater, and each predominant activity comprises identifiable internal components. In relation to fields of study, it suggests a link between each learning activity and the specific opportunities of the subject. An ideal model of transdisciplinarity should organize the learning activity according to these transversal categories, content offers being selected in relation to their needs. On the short term, such a model is difficult to apply. In this sense, the solution is to develop transversal learning activities through current school subjects. A model for a school subject emphasizes the outstanding variety of application possibilities, in the current context.
