Luminous Science: Teachers Designing for and Developing Transdisciplinary Thinking and Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Finch, Lila; Moreno, Celeste; Shapiro, R. Benjamin – Cognition and Instruction, 2021
Creating learning environments that integrate arts, sciences, and computing in education can improve learning in these disciplines. In particular, transdisciplinary integrations of these disciplines can lead to expansive alterations or dissolutions of epistemological, ideological, and methodological boundaries. We wish to support teachers in the…
