Methodology of Science and the Epistemological Context: An Integration of Multidisciplinary Perspectives

Abstract

This study discusses the methodology of science in the context of integration and multidisciplinary epistemology. This approach combines various disciplines to understand complex phenomena in a holistic manner. Such integration can broaden perspectives and strengthen the validity of research by combining different viewpoints. The discussion emphasizes the importance of a coherent framework of thinking when integrating related fields of knowledge, so that the resulting research becomes more relevant and applicable in real-world contexts. For example, in health research on diseases, it is important to combine medical data with socio-cultural factors present in remote communities. Multidisciplinary research offers great potential, but it also presents significant challenges, such as communication barriers, differences in scientific cultures, management coordination, and the need for understanding and appreciating other perspectives, among others. A multidisciplinary approach is the process of combining multiple disciplines to collaboratively address specific problems. The main goal is to create a more comprehensive and holistic understanding, especially in the field of education.
