Answers from the Holistic Transdisciplinary Paradigm to the Contemporary Challenges in Education: The Subject Awakening and Integration among Sciences, Tradition, Wisdom and Experiences
The present days are marked by deep technological changes, the
introduction of media and interaction resources. At the same time, these days
faced different crises worldwide which were induced by pollution, irresponsible
misuse of natural resources, by the social inequality maintenance and great
abysms in the human development. One of the greatest challenges in the educational
process is to follow these changes and to respond to them integrally,
responsibly and in a way implied to results from human actions. Thus, the
educational and formative processes need to overcome the knowledge exchange
model and work with different ways of apprenticeship. The current paper aims to
analyse the author’s trajectory in a stricto
sensu formation centred in holistic and transdisciplinary approaches. The autobiography
was the method employed to allow the analysis of experienced change and its
impacts on the author’s training course. Results show that formation allows individual development in different
levels and it connects them to society and nature, it becomes possible
integrating sciences, knowledge and traditions to the construction of
relationships and to the production of practices in different action fields,
which are sensitive and awake for knowledge integrity.
