Multidisciplinary and Transdisciplinary Design to Teach Problem Solving Skills

Science as a field of science that investigates the universe is closely related to natural phenomena. Natural phenomena exist holistically, not independent, and interrelated. Why is integrated science learning so important? This multidisciplinary learning method can train students to think multidimensional, or holistic. This holistic mindset of learners will be used as a life skill in solving problems in their life. This paper will discuss students' ability to design thematic integration and transdisciplinary approaches in science. The ability to design is done in the development research of learning model: thinking, working, scaffolding, sharing (TWSS). The result of research thinking phase 46% student attitude excellent and 46% good. The five groups were able to design thematic integration, in which the two groups were able to design transdisciplinary integration. Through various assistance in the TWSS model phase, students can do the assigned tasks.
