us, but on the rules of Mathematics itself. That is the reason
why some theorems and rules
appear vague to us and we cannot understand its application. The research outcomes in
Mathematics add to the body of knowledge in Mathematics,
not every knowledge can be
applied to the world around us directly. Hence, pure disciplines refer to those disciplines
that tend towards fundamental research. There is systematic observation of phenomena
solely for discovering unknown facts which may develop into theories. The
product of
these disciplines is some kind of new knowledge. Simply put a pure discipline is a discipline
that involves study purely for the sake of knowledge and not for its application. Some
examples are Pure Physics,
Pure Chemistry, and Pure History and so on.
Applied Disciplines: Applied disciplines as the phrase indicates it relates existing knowledge
to real world situations. These disciplines make significant contributions
to the world by
articulating the theoretical foundations in their field of study. The Applied Disciplines use
knowledge from one or more disciplines as its sole purpose is Application to solve problems
related to the world around us. For example, Human Resource
Development is an applied
discipline that draws heavily from pure disciplines like Psychology and Sociology.
Engineering is an applied science dependent on the pure sciences of Mathematics and
Physics. Similarly, in Education we draw knowledge from
the foundation subjects namely,
Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology and History and focus our attention on applying the
knowledge to the field of Education. Hence, Education is an Applied Discipline.
