First, define succinctly the global challenge of education and learning as you understand it, based on your own findings and those of the group. Provide a statement, rather than a question.
• You may use your own ideas or ideas generated by the group as they were presented in the team discussion; alternatively, you can redefine this challenge based on your evolving understanding of it.
Next, evaluate three distinct disciplinary perspectives.
• Choose three disciplines from your Discipline Map and those presented in this week’s team discussion, along with posts made within the discussion forum.
• Describe how each of the three disciplines you have chosen offers a specific perspective on the challenge, with reference to specific examples.
• Evaluate how, individually, these distinct disciplinary perspectives are useful, yet not adequate for addressing the complexity of the global challenge, with reference to specific examples.
Finally, apply interdisciplinary approaches.
Integrate the three disciplines you have evaluated by using specific theories supportive of interdisciplinary approaches to produce a more comprehensive understanding of the global challenge as you have defined it.
• Explain how at least two theories supportive of interdisciplinarity as found in this week’s readings can overcome the limitations of the three disciplinary perspectives you have examined.
• Assess the utility of using methods and perspectives associated with the interdisciplinary approaches outlined this week in addressing the global challenge you have defined.
