Summary/Abstract: In ancient Greece, knowledge was not neatly contained in distinct disciplines and leading scholars moved freely among different fields. The influence of reductionism, which began with Aristoteles and has continued ever since, created disciplines with precise boundaries. With such disciplinary approach, each field evolves independently as a specialized set of tools of analysis. The question arises: are these boundaries still necessary nowadays or must we look on the teaching/learning process more transdisciplinary? In this contribution, one of the possible ways will be shown and evaluated, how to model and apply an appropriate solution.
