The Role of Transdisciplinary Education in Addressing Complex Societal Issues

Abstract

Transdisciplinary education integrates multiple disciplines to address complex societal challenges that single disciplines alone cannot resolve. This research explores the efficacy of transdisciplinary approaches in educational settings, examining how they prepare students to tackle multifaceted issues such as climate change, public health crises, and social inequality. Through a comprehensive literature review and qualitative analysis of case studies, this study identifies key strategies and outcomes associated with transdisciplinary education. Findings indicate that such educational frameworks enhance critical thinking, collaborative skills, and real-world problem-solving abilities among students. The study concludes by recommending the adoption of transdisciplinary curricula in higher education institutions to better equip future leaders for the intricate demands of modern society.
