This is partly due to the current curricular arrangements and, more fundamentally, to the vertical, compartmentalised ordering of knowledge which is typical of our university syllabi. Even the so-called liberal education programmes are merely patchwork made up from disparate disciplines.
A proposal is here made for an attempt to review and reconstruct our knowledge maps from an integrated multi and inter-disciplinary perspective. This opens up channels for new and refreshing curricular designs. |
