THE IMPACT OF TRANSDISCIPLINARITY ON SIGHT TRANSLATION TRAINING IN SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL DOMAINS

Oct 15, 2026

The paper explores how interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity influence sight translation training in scientific and technical domains. It distinguishes “weak” transdisciplinarity from “strong” transdisciplinarity and examines educational outcomes using observations in sight translation classes with 80 future translators/interpreters. Competence levels (high, medium, low) support quantitative and qualitative analysis. The study applies theoretical and practical methods, generalization, and mathematical statistics, showing a positive effect on professional identity and cross-sectorial training opportunities.

The authors concentrate on the distinctive features of transdisciplinarity and explain the concept of "weak" (used as a practical means) and "strong"transdisciplinarity (complex impact through several levels of reality) . 80 future translators/interpreters took part in the research. The results of educational process observations during sight translation classes are presented. Three levels of competences in translating and interpreting (high, medium and low) are identified to conduct the quantitative and qualitative analysis of experimental data during sight translation training. The theoretical and practical analyses, generalisation and mathematical statistics methods were used to stipulate the impact of transdisciplinarity on sight translation training. This research has clearly shown that application of a transdisciplinary approach gives future translators/interpreters opportunity to receive cross-sectorial training in specific fields. Transdisciplinary in sight translation trainings has a positive impact on the development of students’ professional identity. Keywords: future translators/interpreters; sight translation training; scientific and technical domains; transdisciplinary approach; transdisciplinarity; competence. Introduction The level of international communication has risen due to the rush development of transport, information and communication, cultural and educational life of society. Nowadays Excellent Science is oneof the priority directions in international cooperation. Its aims are to support constructive ideas, to provide researchers from developing countries with the access to up-to-date research infrastructure, and to finance research collaboration in order to implement promising scientific and technological innovations. Modern scientists are ready for mutual cooperation as far as it helps in searching the ways and means of solving global problems. The fact that global issues in scientific and technical domains can be effectively resolved with international efforts is a powerful stimulus for the development of sight translation training in scientific and technical domains. Taking into account the facts mentioned above, sight translation plays the important role not only in the scientific but political and cultural life of every country. The information about cutting-age technologies in the scientific and technical fields is spreading through the translation from one (source) language into the other (target) language. Therefore in some cases, the process of sight translation conducting in scientific and technical domains became a way of categorisation and vision of reality. As a result in recent years, scientists have begun to understand clearly that the main difficulties in translation and interpreting are not only the differences in the rules of grammar, functional language and terms in specific technical field, but the differences in the transferring and perception of scientific and technical information in different countries. It means that requirements and accuracy of translation have been growing. When making sight translation in scientific and technical domains, professionals cannot be satisfied with the adequacy of the sight translation "in general", they are tobe sure about the uniform impact of the target text on all participants of the process. How to reach such an effect? The answer can be found in the origins of a transd

FAQs
