Transdisciplinarity: A Look at University Education

Abstract

The purpose of this essay, of a documentary nature, is to make an approach to transdisciplinarity in university education as a process that facilitates the overcoming of the fragmentary perspective presented by the way of teaching and learning in the university. In this study, it is considered equally important to approach the concepts of disciplinarity, interdisciplinarity, multidisciplinarity and pluridisciplinarity as a preamble to the concept of transdisciplinarity, in order to clarify these points and have a better perception of the subject treated. It is considered that transdisciplinarity is the process that promotes the emergence of new fields of knowledge from the dialogue of disciplines. It is relevant to consider that the approach to transdisciplinarity entails critical scenarios on the university campus where teachers and students can act freely to express their questioning of the educational paradigms of today.
