“…The conventional structure of learning at institutions of higher education, such as universities and colleges is organised into academic disciplines, which in essence are sub-divisions of knowledge that characterise teaching and research. Daneshpour (2022) notes that the dominant approach in the current university and educational system continues to be based on this single-disciplinary style, while Fortuin & Van Koppen (2016) make the observation that various attempts and experiments have been conducted to shift education at these institutions towards interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary approaches in order to better meet real-world expectations. According to Appel (2018) a transdisciplinary view (or "transdisciplinarity") is defined as practice and research efforts conducted by academics from different disciplines working jointly to create new conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and transnational innovations that integrate and move beyond discipline-specific approaches to address complex problems.…”

Based on the shared expertise of two research entities at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) a transdisciplinary (TD) research approach was adopted to investigate whether Rooibos an indigenous South African plant with its unique bioactive compounds modulates oxidative stress and potentially acts as an ergogenic supplement. Due to the nature of this unique biotechnology and sport business collaboration along with support from the South African Rooibos Council (SARC) and associated academic stakeholders, various beneficial outcomes were anticipated, including: 1) to provide scientific findings informed by the innovative technologies that measure metabolic and gene-diet interaction responses to phenolic-rich Rooibos; 2) to assess the potential of Rooibos to modulate oxidative stress during exercise and underscore its anticipated ergogenic properties; 3) to utilize scientifically derived evidence to beneficiate Rooibos in the lucrative sport supplement market; 4) to provide rationale to optimize the equitable sharing of benefits derived from Rooibos to the relevant indigenous communities, and 5) to enhance sustainable economic benefits derived from various policy enactments including the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status. The findings from two randomized double-blinded placebo controlled intervention trials provide a strong indication that the unique bioactive compounds of Rooibos may have benefits for exercise performance and recovery and as a potential ergogenic supplement, which may have further positive ramifications for the Rooibos value chain in terms of beneficiating Rooibos. Additionally, the TD approach has acknowledged the importance of indigenous biological resources, and the commitment to share sustainable economic benefits with traditional knowledge holders in a fair and equitable way.

“…Colucci- Gray et al (2013) suggest interdisciplinary approaches to sustainability education. Pedagogical design, socio-efficiency and philosophy are the main themes in sustainable interdisciplinary education (Daneshpour & Kwegyir-Afful, 2022). Bateman, Steele & Sexton (2021) stated that students should work as "sustainability engineers" in science classes.…”

Environmental Sustainability in Science Education in the Anthropocene: A View from STEAM Education

Environmental problems in the age we live in require us to think differently, to question them, and to do something corrective. The role of science education in the transformation of education and its adaptation to the age is perhaps more than in previous periods. Because at the end of the day is the continuity of our planet. This article examines science education and higher-order thinking skills in the Anthropocene era and presents examples from studies on environmental sustainability as a prominent concept in this field. In addition, it argues that STEAM education is one of the ideal approaches that can meet this goal by presenting examples of what can be done with a holistic and interdisciplinary view of environmental sustainability within the framework of STEAM education. Suggestions are made through STEAM training, with the assumption that environmental sustainability in an intricately connected network structure rather than linear chains can only be understood with an interdisciplinary approach and solutions can be found only in this way.

“…Desde la disciplinariedad se suelen tomar como dadas las definiciones tradicionales y los procedimientos que establecen y definen el objeto y método de estudio, lo que limita los elementos de observación y las relaciones básicas (Daneshpour y Kwegyir-Afful, 2022;Lawrence et al, 2022;Yazdani et al, 2020). Esto suele suceder debido a que, pese a la superación de algunos mitos fundacionales y del supuesto debilitamiento del pensamiento binario, este persiste y se mantiene en el tiempo per se (Mead et al, 2021;Nguyen y Mougenot, 2022;Ortiz y Climent-Gil, 2021).…”

Introducción: las comunidades negras colombianas han sido sometidas diversos procesos de homogenización que, basados principalmente en lo fenotípico y lo supuestamente común en lo histórico, han invisibilizado sus trayectorias y necesidades particulares. Objetivo: el presente artículo tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre la concepción y producción de comunidades negras en Colombia, con sustento en la metodología cualitativa, el análisis documental, bibliográfico y temático. Reflexión: se logró establecer el proceso de conformación del Estado/moderno/territorial, haciendo evidente el hecho isomórfico que ha pretendido sostener una equivalencia entre territorio, comunidad y cultura. A su vez, cuestionar la noción homogeneidad de una comunidad étnica con diferentes historias y contextos. Conclusiones: se reflexionó sobre el pensamiento localizado, lo cual redunda en una comprensión de las dinámicas territoriales de los grupos étnicos y con estos, de la necesidad de su reconocimiento y de medidas de política que permitan mantener y preservar con garantías su existencia.
