Abstract:

Discipline appeared as a set of knowledge classification system in response to the development and differentiation of human knowledge. The development of science and technology imposes higher requirements on knowledge synthesis nowadays. The new knowledge production mode brings challenges to traditional discipline systems. But there is no fundamental change in the need for specialization in the process of knowledge production. Therefore, it will not make the discipline system out of date. However, the discipline operation mechanism and discipline construction methods must be reformed. It is very important to create an institutional environment conducive to the convergence of disciplines. It can help discipline to play a better role in scientific research, talent training and other activities in university.

Key words: discipline, disciplinary barriers, discipline convergence, discipline construction
