INTERDISCIPLINARY AND TRANSDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES FOR FUTURE SKILLS AND CURRICULUM TRANSFORMATION IN THE 21ST CENTURY

John Dewey (1929) observed that separation from other fields was one of the primary difficulties in making education a science. Therefore, fundamental reform of the traditional single-discipline education system is necessary to integrate knowledge. As a result, special importance is currently placed on interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches in education. The study aims to understand interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches, their differences, and future skills for curriculum transformation. The researcher adopted the thematic analysis technique for this study. Data were collected from various secondary sources, such as journal articles, e-content, web resources, and blogs. The study reveals the understanding of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches, how they function, and the differences between them. This study also shows that some future skills are required to manage these modern approaches, such as critical thinking. creativity, collaboration, adaptability, and systems thinking. This study identified strategies for curriculum transformation through interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches, such as project-based learning, curriculum redesign, stakeholder collaboration, and teacher training.
