Transdisciplinary in Education

Summary/Abstract: Our study highlights the importance of developing a transdisciplinary model for education in the postmodern (contemporary) era as related to general educational values (the moral good, the scientific truth, the utility of applied scientific truth, beauty, and psychophysical health). This model, which is promoted by UNESCO, educationally engages five general goals, defined in terms of psychological competences – learning: a) to know; b) to do; c) to live next to others; d) to be; e) to become (in the perspective of continuous education and self-education). It is based on these goals that transdisciplinary contents and the methodology of transdisciplinary education are designed in curricular terms. In terms of epistemology, the transdisciplinary value framework has been historically shaped during the transition from the scientific pre-modern model to the modern and postmodern (contemporary) one. The postmodern (contemporary) scientific model promotes a paradigm of complexity, as reflected in postmodern (contemporary) education, which approaches education at a global and open level through “unifying theories” (the general theory of education; of instruction; of the curriculum), these theories being at the root of all education sciences (and involved in increasing the depth of research in the object of study, normativity, and research methodology that are specific to education, with a multilevel social impact).
