摘要

目的/目的:日益复杂的商业环境和业务流程以及大数据现象对当今人类活动的各个领域都产生了影响。这种新的现实对传统狭隘的专业教育的有效性提出了挑战。新的能力领域作为多个知识领域的协同作用而出现-跨学科。信息科学和数据科学只是我们可以确定为跨学科的前两个新领域。大学正面临着教育学生适应这些新现实的挑战。背景:本文的目的是分享作者在信息经纪专业培养信息科学学士课程和数据科学硕士课程的设计经验。方法论:设计跨学科课程需要学术界和产业界获得的各种专业知识,并经过几个阶段——确定目标、概念化课程模式、确定内容和发展教学重点。贡献:分享我们在设计跨学科项目方面获得的经验,将有助于从狭隘的专业教育向应对21世纪挑战的转变。研究发现:分析能力,结合各类所谓“软技能”的训练,对于学生在跨学科活动领域的成功职业生涯做好准备至关重要。给从业人员的建议:现在建立一个既鼓励分享又鼓励密切合作的工作环境是必不可少的。对研究人员的建议:培养能够在跨学科环境中取得成功的专业人员有两个方面:鼓励相互尊重和发展创新思维。对社会的影响:高等教育转型的一种方式,以迎接当前的挑战。本研究的下一步是收集这两个专业毕业生的职业发展反馈,并相应地调整课程设置。

Challenges in Designing Curriculum for Trans-Disciplinary Education: On Cases of Designing Concentration on Informing Science and Master Program on Data Science
Aim/Purpose: The growing complexity of the business environment and business processes as well as the Big Data phenomenon has an impact on every area of human activity nowadays. This new reality challenges the effectiveness of traditional narrowly oriented professional education. New areas of competences emerged as a synergy of multiple knowledge areas – transdisciplines. Informing Science and Data Science are just the first two such new areas we may identify as transdisciplines. Universities are facing the challenge to educate students for those new realities. Background: The purpose of the paper is to share the authors’ experience in designing curriculum for training bachelor students in Informing Science as a concentration within an Information Brokerage major, and a master program on Data Science. Methodology: Designing curriculum for transdisciplines requires diverse expertise obtained by both academia and industries and passed through several stages - identifying objectives, conceptualizing curriculum models, identifying content, and development pedagogical priorities. Contribution: Sharing our experience acquired in designing transdiscipline programs will contribute to a transition from a narrow professional education towards addressing 21st-century challenges. Findings: Analytical skills, combined with training in all categories of so-called “soft skills”, are essential in preparing students for a successful career in a transdiciplinary area of activities. Recommendations for Practitioners: Establishing a working environment encouraging not only sharing but close cooperation is essential nowadays. Recommendations for Researchers: There are two aspects of training professionals capable of succeeding in a transdisciplinary environment: encouraging mutual respect and developing out-of-box thinking. Impact on Society: The transition of higher education in a way to meet current challenges. Future Research The next steps in this research are to collect feedback regarding the professional careers of students graduating in these two programs and to adjust the curriculum accordingly.

期刊介绍: The academically peer refereed journal Informing Science endeavors to provide an understanding of the complexities in informing clientele. Fields from information systems, library science, journalism in all its forms to education all contribute to this science. These fields, which developed independently and have been researched in separate disciplines, are evolving to form a new transdiscipline, Informing Science.
