Abstract

This chapter provides a dynamic approach to preparing science teachers for practice. It includes two parts: One is related to defining the key concepts of discipline, intradisciplinary, multidisciplinary, cross-disciplinary, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and convergence approaches. Another is related to their practice in science. Thus, readers differ to first all key concepts from disciplinary to convergent approaches. This chapter will give inspiration to science teachers as they move from study into the classroom. This chapter aims to show a transdisciplinary approach to teach science to create a classroom for engagement with scientific thinking, problem-based approach in real world context. The authors also present some examples related to interdisciplinary STEM project and transdisciplinary STEM project. Although all these subjects are categorized under a single discipline, the science course consists of interdisciplinary studies encompassing physics, chemistry, and biology.
