In the
previous post I discussed about the discipline in detail. Here I will discuss
about different forms of academic discipline:-
Basic
Discipline:
Those disciplines which have their own logical structure of knowledge are
called basic disciplines. Each discipline in this category has its own network
of concept which is distinctive and unique in nature. They are studied purely
for the sake of knowledge and aim towards fundamental research. There is
systematic observation of phenomena solely for discovering unknown facts which
may develop into theories. Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, History, and
Sociology etc are basic disciplines. For e.g.:In Mathematics we solve problems,
find facts and answer questions; that do not depend on the world around us but
on the rules of Mathematics itself. The research outcomes add to the body of
knowledge in Mathematics. Every knowledge cannot be applied to the world around
directly.
Applied
Discipline: As the
phrase indicates, the applied disciplines are those, wherein, the knowledge of
basic disciplines is used. They make significant contribution to the world by
solving problems around us. For Eg: Engineering is an applied science dependent
on Mathematics and Physics. Next, we have Medical Science, Bio-Technology,
Space Science and many more.
Multidisciplinary
and Interdisciplinary: Multidisciplinary draws on knowledge from different disciplines to
create a new field of study. The disciplines make separate contributions to
redefine problem and reach solution based on a new understanding of the complex
situation. For eg: Environmental Education is a multidisciplinary which is
formed by the contribution of Biology, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Geology
and Education.
Interdisciplinary
analyses, synthesizes and harmonizes lines between disciplines into a
co-ordinated and cohort whole. Hence, one discipline serves as the principle
organizer and other disciplines acts as supplement to it. For eg; A child
development problem may be studied by interdisciplinary approach consisting of Psychologist,
Educator, Sociologist and Doctor.
