Using a model for utilising crises-related issues to facilitate transdisciplinary outdoor STEAM education in business corporate communication in Tanzania colleges

Abstract: This study demonstrates the application of the Utilising Crises-related Issues (UCIs) model to facilitate Transdisciplinary OutdoorSTEAM learning. Originally developed to support outdoor learningin contexts with limited access to digital tools such as MathCityMap, the model was tested in a Business Communication Skillscourse for first-year students at one of the colleges in Tanzania.Using convenient sampling, data were collected through documentanalysis of 10 student-submitted video clips and 30 reflective jour-nals. Thematic analysis revealed that the UCIs model enhancedstudents' communication skills, transdisciplinary thinking, problem-solving abilities, and awareness of Sustainable Development Issues(SDIs). However, time management was reported as a challenge.The findings suggest that the UCIs model is a pedagogical approachthat fosters Education for Sustainable Development in low-resourcesettings. Educators are encouraged to explore its use further, andfuture research should expand on these findings to provide broaderand more diversified evidence of its impact.
