Researchers need to be free to follow a problem across disciplinary boundaries. They should be empowered to draw upon the concepts and methods of other disciplines to create new solutions to industry and societal issues. And they should ask how the creation of knowledge can positively impact our most pressing contemporary problems.

The ‘ultimate’ on the ‘integration continuum’ (see figure below). The transdisciplinary curriculum:

• Focuses on student-initiated questions and projects
• Emphasises world contexts
• Knowledge and skills are interconnected and interdependent – less emphasis on the subject area
• Knowledge and skills from different subject areas are the focus of student initiated projects
• The real life context is emphasised
• Subject-area knowledge and skills are acquired informally
• The students initiate and direct purposeful projects that are centred and connected to real life experiences
• The students initiative, imagination and creativity are enhanced

Students develop life skills as they apply interdisciplinary and disciplinary skills in a real-life context. Two routes lead to transdisciplinary integration: project-based learning and negotiating the curriculum.

This approach links concepts and skills through a real-world context. Inquiry is one of the biggest differences in this learning approach verses the others. Transdisciplinary learning objectives require students to find answers to questions not only and questions they might have about the content.]]> 2016-09-19 14:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/roygj/Transdisciplinary/wish/124757375 https://padlet.com/roygj/Transdisciplinary/wish/124758161 2016-09-19 14:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/roygj/Transdisciplinary/wish/124758161 ddoyle5984 https://padlet.com/roygj/Transdisciplinary/wish/124758601 Also called problem-based learning, or place-based learning.

Studies show that in project-based learning students go beyond the minimum effort and they make connections to other subject and apply what they learned to real-life]]> 2016-09-19 14:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/roygj/Transdisciplinary/wish/124758601 ddoyle5984 https://padlet.com/roygj/Transdisciplinary/wish/124762295 student questions form the basis for curriculum. based in personal growth and social issues.

Teachers, when effectively using this approach, do not compartmentalize learning,  but rather explore content within the context of inquiry. For instance, in a non-PYP school children who are learning about the math strand Data Handling may take a 40 minute lesson to have tally marks and graphs explained and then practice on their own through worksheets or extension activities. Children in a PYP context would explore the same content but within a different modality. While inquiring into themselves in the theme, Who we are, the students may notice that they all come from different countries. Teachers would grasp that moment and investigate Data Handling by helping the students create a survey in order to observe, collect and record data about the nationalities represented within in their community.]]> 2016-09-19 14:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/roygj/Transdisciplinary/wish/124766455
