Book Description

The isolated nature of academic disciplines restricts the potential for collaborative problem-solving and innovative approaches to teaching and learning. This fragmentation limits the effectiveness of educational outcomes and fails to prepare students for the multidimensional demands of the modern world. To address this pressing issue, Transdisciplinary Approaches to Learning Outcomes in Higher Education provides a comprehensive framework for transdisciplinary research in higher education. This book offers a systematic approach to transdisciplinary research and equips researchers, educators, and policymakers with the tools needed to break down disciplinary barriers and foster interdisciplinary collaboration. Through a series of case studies, theoretical frameworks, and practical guidelines, the book demonstrates how transdisciplinary approaches can lead to more effective teaching practices, curriculum design, and student engagement. It highlights the importance of integrating digital transformation, creativity, communication skills, and information technology tools to enhance learning outcomes in higher education.
