The objective of the course kit (12 teaching and hours) is to provide the students and other interseted parties with general information on the history of approaches to science and on epistemological and methodological evolution in scientific thought. The ultimate objective is to provide students with basic research tools for knowledge creation beyond and above disciplines in a constructive dialogue with all stakeholders, inside and outside of academia. The focus is on interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity with additional interest in post-digital transdisciplinary research.
The course kit provides a brief overview of scientific research and methods from empiricism and positivism through constructivism and collaborative, contextualized knowledge design and development. Understanding of concepts of monodisciplinarity, multidisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity. Development of critical approach to science and application of adequate methods in the construction of socially engaged interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research, with special focus, but not limited on, social sciences and humanities.
Razvoj moderne naučne misli: epistemologija i metodologija
Cilj didaktičkog paketa (12 nastave i časova) je da studentkinjama i studentima i drugim zainteresovanim stranama ponudi opšte informacije o istoriji moderne nauke i o epistemološkoj i metodološkoj evoluciji u naučnoj misli. Didaktički paket obezbeđuje osnovne istraživačke alate za konstrukciju znanja u transdisciplinarnom ključu u konstruktivnom dijalogu sa svim zainteresovanim stranama, unutar i izvan akademske zajednice. Fokus u razradi materijala je na interdisciplinarnosti i transdisciplinarnosti sa dodatnim interesovanjem za post-digitalna transdisciplinarna istraživanja.
Paket nudi kratak pregled naučnih istraživanja i metoda od empirizma i pozitivizma preko konstruktivizma i kolaborativnog, kontekstualizovanog razvoja i usvajanja znanja. Uključuje razgraničavanje i razumevanje pojmova monodisciplinarnosti, multidisciplinarnosti, interdisciplinarnosti i transdisciplinarnosti, kao i razvoj kritičkog pristupa nauci i primena adekvatnih metoda u izgradnji društveno angažovanih interdisciplinarnih i transdisciplinarnih istraživanja, sa posebnim fokusom, ali ne ograničavajući se na društvene i humanističke nauke.
