QUESTION 1
Define the following:
Curriculum transformation
Curriculum transformation is the process of creating new courses and curricula in all
disciplines based on critical examination of knowledge about race, class, gender,
disability, religion, class, sexual orientation, gender expression, and nationality.
Emerging as a systemic educational change strategy, curriculum transformation
addresses both content integration and classroom pedagogy and contributes to diversity
initiatives aimed at institutional transformation. Curriculum transformation also calls for
the development of inclusive perspectives within interdisciplinary fields such as
women's studies, ethnic studies, and disability studies.
Multidisciplinarity
A multidisciplinary curriculum is one in which the same topic is studied from the
viewpoint of more than one discipline. Education is not limited to a particular discipline.
For instance, a student of Engineering can take a subject from humanities.
Multidisciplinary approach is a method of curriculum integration that highlights the
diverse perspectives that different disciplines can bring to illustrate a theme, subject or
issue. In a multidisciplinary curriculum, multiple disciplines are used to study the same
topic.
Pluridisciplinarity
Pluridisciplinarity requires two or more disciplines to combine their expertise to jointly
develop and deliver learning and teaching outcomes appropriate for a subject area.
, Pluridisciplinarity alone is a sterile process, as it does not bring any cultural enrichment
but is necessary for the organization of knowledge. In fact, it only identifies information
related to several disciplines that converge on a single theme. Therefore, from the point
of view of pluridisciplinarity, each subject collaborates for its own part to analyze a
theme by determining a common field of different areas without defining the
constitutional laws among the elements.
Interdisciplinarity
Interdisciplinarity refers to a method or mindset that merges traditional educational
concepts or methods in order to arrive at a new approaches or solutions.
Interdisciplinarity is an increasingly important concept within both academic research
and the private sector, as it allows both a rigorous and nimble approach to subjects of
both great nuance and complexity.
Transdisciplinarity
Transdisciplinarity is generally defined by the inclusion of non-academic stakeholders in
the process of knowledge production. Transdisciplinary learning is important because it
helps create these connections by getting the same idea across various subjects and
explaining it in a practical way, which is easy to understand. It is so important nowadays
that students learn to solve problems creatively.
