Ikaskuntza transdiziplinarra eta iraunkortasuna: Gradu Amaierako Lanak erronka konplexuen mesedetan

Abstract

Sustainable development raises complex problems that require close and committed collaboration between the different sciences, as well as the training of students from this perspective in their own degrees. Transdisciplinarity is the possible solution, but it is not easy to put it into practice. This research is part of an innovation project called "EHezi i3: for a better basque education" for the realization of Bachelor's and Master's Degree Final Year Projects of different degrees at the University of the Basque Country. In it, 16 BFP and 2 MFP have been carried out, with the help of the teaching staff, students, administration and services personnel and social agents (51 people in total). From the research point of view, we have tried to analyze the influence of this type of innovation projects on academic performance and student satisfaction, as well as to detect the critical points that occur within a transdisciplinary community. In order to achieve these research objectives, a mixed methodology has been used, the records of the coordination group and a questionnaire addressed to the participants. The results show that transdisciplinary learning broadens and reshapes the participants' perspectives and positively affects their academic performance and satisfaction. Participants go through different critical moments, from initial disorientation and controlled chaos to a common and associated step-by-step understanding. In general, the basic conditions can be created at universities today to initiate such experimental processes and bring about very positive results, but the effort and time required is not guaranteed.
