Transdisciplinary medical education: Lifeworld system thinking approach
Sep 03, 2017
While moves towards Problem based education programme for medical and health care professionals become a pattern rather than just an event, the underlying paradigm that making this shift possible is rarely stated. I will demonstrate that thinking at the level of the paradigm can ensure transformative, sustainable reform which is compatible with the demands of 21st century skills and challenges. The paradigm that make integration of curriculum and Problem based learning methodology possible is complexity system thinking paradigm which manifested as transdisciplinary approach. Hence speaking about integration as a ladder is not possible if we take into consideration that integration is synthetic thinking, which is grounded in a different ontology and epistemology from that of the analytical thinking. Consequently, we have two ladders to practice science, linear, analytical ladder which disintegrate the parts from the whole and second one is non-linear, lifeworld system thinking ladder which is a vertical experience, lived as a bird or helicopter view in which the whole seen in the parts.
