Transdisciplinarity in Citizenship Education

<p>This edited volume provides a thorough theoretical reflection and practical application of the concept of transdisciplinarity crucial for understanding and effectively addressing contemporary complex socio-scientific issues and in fostering robust social and civic competencies. From this viewpoint its seven chapters reveal that such competencies can be developed through didactic-disciplinary areas that at first glance may seem removed from the traditional focuses of scientific education.</p><p>The volume not only presents evidence of the necessity for cross-disciplinarity and the importance of integrating various disciplines into the educational process but also details specific didactic approaches based on holistic and contextualized learning. These approaches especially beneficial for pre-service and active teachers in primary and secondary education enable a more effective response to current challenges promoting an educational model that prepares students to act as informed critical and engaged citizens in an increasingly complex and globalized society.</p>
