An assessment of methodology of modern interdisciplinary researches in social sciences (Sosyal bilimlerde modern disiplinlerarası metodoloji üzerine bir değrlendirme)

Abstract

Abstract: With the second half of the 19th century, interdisciplinary research becomes gradually high specialization in modern science. In other words, this research emerges as a reaction against the scientist incarcerating themselves in a narrow field. With the development of technology, it is seen that interdisciplinary used to be incompatible in the past, but now a days, it is more aliasing. Interdisciplinary research is defined as enhancing the intellection which is fulfilled by individuals or groups, solving the problems which remain out of the single discipline or research application field. It is also a research style which integrates the data, methods and techniques, tools, perspectives, concepts and theories from the two or more disciplines or from specialized knowledge fields. Even though many literatures develop intellection of interdisciplinary research, it still remains a difficult and indefinable concept. The polysemy of interdisciplinary concept becomes more and more remarkable with the augmentation of differences in the organization of science. In order to avoid this situation, in addition to general interdisciplinary research terms, a number of new terms are also used. These are listed below: to establish cooperation between science or science issues which are more or less unrelated to each other it is called "multidisciplinary" research; to put into practice a mutual axiomatic for a range of scientific research is called "transdisciplinary" research. After the Second World War, interdisciplinary research statement, including the meaning of teamwork, is now widely used. All research related to creativity and innovation show that new ideas come from different perspectives. In this study, "interdisciplinary research" concept is widely addressed.
