Moving toward Transdisciplinary Oriented Research-Based Learning (TRBL) Approach Using Multimedia Technologies in Higher Education

Abstract

The rapidly changing economy requires a higher education centre to introduce new methods to facilitate graduates to compete in the job market. Job proficiency in the 21st century is crucial in enhancing graduates' marketability. Thus, transdisciplinary is a potential field of completing the boundaries between academic and practical disciplines. Transdisciplinary learning can create new knowledge to answer and solve complex problems while simultaneously combining multiple disciplines. By applying the TRBL (Transdisciplinary Oriented Research-Based Learning) model in the teaching and research aspects of the students, it provides added value in shaping and enhancing student's soft skills as well as producing a young generation of skilled catalysts and drivers of the state.

Developing Transdisciplinary-based Material Design for Akidah Akhlak Learning

“…This strategy was developed to address basic societal problems that cannot be effectively resolved by standard academic approaches and discourse alone (Geres-Smith, 2020). By incorporating transdisciplinary-based learning model to teaching process, it contributes to the improvement of students' soft skills (Kamrozzaman et al, 2019) as well as beneficial for society (Nair & Suryan, 2020).…”

Improvement of Learning Performances With Increased Guidance in Research-Based Learning

“…Employers look for features among new graduates such as the ability to analyze issues and solve problems, critical thinking, and effective communication, all of which are exercised through RBL initiatives (Justice et al, 2009). In developing these skills, RBL employs a transdisciplinary learning approach, in which students from diverse backgrounds analyze issues from multiple perspectives (Kamrozzaman et al, 2019).…”
