Imaging Dynamic Concept

I think there's a symbiotic relationship, and hence direct correlation, between the two: as collective intelligence goes up or down, transdisciplinarity goes up or down, and vice versa.

The “scientific revolution” that emerged in the mid-1900s transformed thinking about the nature of reality and ways of thinking about it. The current view is that because reality is complex, contextual and dynamically changing, it should be studied from as many perspectives as possible, using multiple theoretical frameworks, methods and settings. Further, the realization that narrow disciplinary research conducted in controlled conditions has not been effective in addressing complex problems like climate change, poverty or global security has catalyzed efforts to integrate and apply knowledge across disciplines and societal sectors. Such “transdisciplinary” approaches that link diverse researchers, practitioners and policy makers are improving scientific inquiry and its application to benefit society.

These radical changes in scientific thinking and problem-solving strategies have prompted recommendations to increase transdisciplinary training in higher education and professional development. This is difficult to achieve because university education has become increasingly fragmented into disciplines and sub-disciplines that are not well aligned with societal needs. In this chapter, we discuss the scientific foundation of transdisciplinarity and the benefits and challenges of integrating it into university education. We describe two examples of transdisciplinary university education: the Doctor of Public Health program at the University of California, Berkeley (USA), and the TdLab in Environmental System Science at ETH Zurich (Switzerland). We provide recommendations to advance transdisciplinarity in higher education and professional development.
