Interdiscipline

What is it?

It uses a design and study methodology that is not limited to a particular field and requires the use of perspectives and skills from the disciplines involved throughout multiple phases of the research process (Christensen et al, 2021).

It is understood as the integration of perspectives, information, data, techniques, tools, concepts and/or theories of two or more disciplines, which not only gathers knowledge and contributions thereof, but also synthesizes them through an interaction, interrelationship, dialogue and collaboration for a more global understanding of the world (Moirano, R. et.al 2020 citing Perignat et.al, 2019).

Promotes an interdisciplinary learning

It is understood as the teaching-learning process in which people work collaboratively in building new knowledge, based on their know-how and experiences, integrating methods, approaches and knowledge from different disciplines.
