Critically analyze the different perspectives of discipline
Answers
(1) Basic Discipline: Discipline is a form of learning that is structured in terms of a single type of truth criterion and a determinate methodology that is derivative from it. Each discipline has its own network of concepts, which are distinctive and unique in nature.
(2) Applied Disciplines or Fields: The applied areas are those wherein the knowledge of basic disciplines are used. For example, scientific and industrial knowledge is used in technological applications. The areas of bio-engineering, bio-technology, applied physics, environmental biology and medical sciences are some of the examples of applied areas.
(3) Multidisciplinary and Interdisciplinary Areas: A more recent approach is to utilise one discipline or several disciplines as a centre for organizing curriculum.
