Desarrollo de estrategias para la integración del pensamiento complejo, inter y transdisciplinariedad, en el contexto universitario, por parte de líderes educativos

Abstract

The unique demands of a global society in the 21st century require that we find new ways to address the continued fragmentation of knowledge into disciplines. Edgar Morin's ideas about complex thinking and complexity provide us with the theoretical framework to develop strategies that may be used to confront the challenges we face. Education, as one of the pillars of society, should promote an integrated model of knowledge through the use of innovative teaching-learning strategies and the concerted efforts of administrators and educational leaders. In this manner, the university will begin to respond to the needs of its own social context with strategies based upon interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches. This paper proposes a series of strategies to encourage the necessary changes in the direction of a new paradigm, away from the frameworks that have fragmented and distorted the role of education in the present society.
