Livro interdisciplinar interativo: perspectivas docentes

Abstract

The present work is situated in the field of studies on the Teaching and Learning process. It aims at developing a product to the first segment of Basic Education: an interactive and interdisciplinary book. This is qualitative and collaborative research, with a formative character, as it aims to contribute to teacher education since they contributed to the elaboration of the product by answering a questionnaire, participating in a conversation circle and at the final process by answering another questionnaire in order to validate the product. Eleven teachers from the Municipal Education Network of Rio de Janeiro participated in this research. To discuss the limitations of disciplinary teaching and work and possibilities of interdisciplinary work, as well as its possible obstacles, this work relies on the contributions of Japiassu (2006). Fazenda (2012), in turn, discusses how the topic emerged in Brazil and presents a historical overview of interdisciplinarity in the country, and Klein (2017), distinguishes between the two generic terms: Multidisciplinary (MD) and Interdisciplinarity (ID). The author analyzes the methodological and theoretical paths of construction and reconstruction of bridges and identifies instrumental and critical choices on the subject. She also analyzes transdisciplinarity (TD) in the current context and ends up reflecting on the emergence of new typologies. The results show that half of the interviewed group understands the concept of interdisciplinarity as being multidisciplinarity or pluridisciplinary, even considering that they have already worked or still work in an interdisciplinary way. Regarding possible obstacles, 80% of the group see obstacles and 20% of the group do not see obstacles in working in an interdisciplinary way. As for the product, several contributions were made by the researched group on what could not be missing from the Interdisciplinary Interactive Book. After the Book was made, the product was validated by the participating teachers who approved it and gave their last contributions.
