Transdisciplinarity as a factor of change in modern educational work, starting from the epistemic positions of Edgar Morin and Basarab Nicolescu

Abstract

In this essay an approach is made to the concept of transdisciplinarity managed by the chosen authors: Edgar Morin and Basarab Nicolescu. An effort is made to define a general concept of what transdisciplinarity means, rescuing its importance to cope with the multiple challenges that the current world involves to those who practice teaching, as well as the student body. Likewise, a comparison (not exhaustive) is explored in this essay, based on the identification of coincident and divergent points between both authors, about the subject under analysis, as well as the influence that they consider that this practice has exerted and exerts on the training processes and academic demands. Finally, a brief account is made of the possible impacts of this, in the learning experiences and its relevance in the daily life of the educational process.
