Geography and Social Sciences in Transdisciplinary Science

Abstract

Abstract:The subject of the paper is the status and relationships of geography, especially human geography, with the social sciences on the background of the evolution of science from multidisciplinary to transdisciplinary. Progressive hybridization of disciplines and specialties upset the identity of geography in modern science, but geography (human geography), as she was, so it is hardly accepted as a social science among scientists. An important role is played by the traditional assignment of the entire geography to natural sciences and greater isolation of human geography in fl ows of knowledge within the social sciences. The article presents the specifi cities of the social sciences in the classifi cation of the sciences, the impact of social sciences on past development of geography and contemporary impact of geography on spatial turn in the social sciences.

Cross Curricular Science in Elementary Schools in Greece - The Curriculum Factor

“…There are several units referring to the landscape, environment, flora and fauna, earth, sun, ecosystems, and climate. This is compatible with research that found that the teaching of environmental topics are opportunities for the integration of science and geography (Lisowski, 2011;Drake & Reid, 2018).…”

“…These are topics that can be linked to science subjects. Considering all these factors, Lisowski (2011) supports the claim that perhaps the teaching of geography can be a good opportunity for the integration of science subjects because it allows for a more holistic and realistic approach to them as it incorporates and approaches the topics through different fields of study.…”

“…However, there others that are justifiably less connected, such as history (Mason & Vasquez-Abad, 2006), religion (Barbour 2000), and politics (Lemke, 2010). Moreover, it seems that the teaching of topics, such as those on the environment, are considered as effective opportunities for integration with science since they actually help in connecting scientific knowledge with other disciplines and in their application (Lisowski, 2011;NGSS Lead States, 2013). Pang and Good (2000) along with Gresnigt (2018) claim that these conditions are beneficial for the involvement of actual applied teaching of scientific literacy.…”

Jaka geografia?- uwarunkowania i spojrzenie w przyszłość = What form of geography? – determining factors and future outlooks

“…Taka sytuacja wydaje się mieć miejsce obecnie i jest reakcją środowiska na zmiany systemu kształcenia oraz organizacji nauki w Polsce (Liszewski i inni, 2008;Bański, 2010;Kostrzewski i Roo-Zielińska, 2011) i wynikające z tego problemy związane z toż-samością geografi i (Lisowski, 2011;2012;Jędrzejczyk, 2011b;Wilczyński, 2011Wilczyński, , 2011a. Niestety dyskusja ogranicza się zazwyczaj do diagnozy i oceny stanu dyscypliny (Liszewski 2011;Kostrzewski i Roo-Zielińska, 2011;Suliborski i Wójcik, 2011;Lisowski, 2011), rzadko zaś tematem wiodącym jest przyszłość geografi i. W opracowaniach, które jej dotyczą, perspektywa geografi i jest na ogół rozważana w formie wniosków i rekomendacji wynikających z analiz historycznych i oceny aktualnego stanu (Liszewski i inni, 2008;Chojnicki, 2004).…”

“…Problem podziału naszej dyscypliny na dwie subdyscypliny był tematem wielu dyskusji w środowisku geografów na świecie (np. Harrison i inni, 2004;Hanson, 2004;Dolman, 2004;Pitman, 2005;Johnston, 2006) i wśród geografów polskich (Liszewski, 1999;Kortus i inni, 2000;Maik, 2004;Richling, 2000;Wilczyński, 2003;Lisowski, 2011). Dialog pomiędzy naukowcami koncentrował się na poszukiwaniu tematów badawczych integrujących obie subdyscypliny.…”
