From my experiences I have found the importance of
incorporating knowledge from several disciplines; whether it’s working with
individuals in another field or learning a variety of subjects. I did not realize that my views on how
multiple disciplines interact were so narrow minded. My grasp of this subject was limited to
collecting knowledge though multidisciplinarity where I had a goal sought knowledge solely with the purpose of advancing a topic in my fiel
After this lecture I will trying to approach working with a
variety of fields with a pluridisciplinarity.
When studying a topic, if I was to consider multidisciplinarity,
transdisciplinarity, crossdisciplinarity, and interdisciplinarity interactions
I may be able to generate a better rational.
Using Dr. Vanegas’ definitions of the topics:
Pluridisciplinarity
- the study of a topic, not in only one
discipline, but in several at the same time.
Multidisciplinarity
- the study of a topic within one
discipline, with support from other disciplines, bringing together multiple
dimensions, but always in the service of the driving discipline.
Transdisciplinarity
- is concerned, at once, with what is
within, between, across, and beyond the different disciplines
Crossdisciplinarity
- the study of a topic at the
intersection of multiple disciplines, and with the commonalities among the
disciplines involved.
Interdisciplinarity
- the study of a topic
within multiple disciplines, and with the transfer of methods from one
discipline to another.
