This study examined the concept of transdisciplinary curriculum development and the development of instructional design to create a transformative framework for education in this era. These days, with the rapid advancement of social, technological and environmental issues traditional discipline-based curricula are often insufficient to deal with complex real-life challenges. This study seeks to investigate the theoretical foundations, instructional design principles and integrative frameworks which aid transdisciplinary education. The study takes a qualitative, descriptive style and relies on secondary data (scholarly articles, books, research papers, and educational reports). Based on literature review, document analysis, the research examines the historical progression of curriculum models from multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary methods to a transdisciplinary framework. Results suggest that the transdisciplinary curriculum design improve the integration of knowledge across disciplines and, hence, learner-centered, experiential, collaborative, and knowledge construction. These approaches encourage students to develop critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills while connecting their academic learning to practical situations. However, the execution of transdisciplinary curricula faces obstacles, including institutional inflexibility, insufficient teacher readiness, and challenges in preserving depth within specific disciplines. Thus, the study also concludes that flexible curriculum structures, collaborative teaching practices, and continuous professional development are necessary in modern-day transdisciplinary education implementation.
