Interdisciplinaridade no contexto do ensino superior brasileiro: uma pesquisa exploratória

Abstract

This work proposed the study of interdisciplinarity in the context of Brazilian higher education, with the general objective of analyzing its importance in the configuration of contemporary education, seeking elements that contribute to the formation of students of university courses in Brazil. In this perspective, during the execution of the work, a bibliographical research was carried out to understand the concepts related to interdisciplinarity and, subsequently, an empirical study was carried out based on the students of the Interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science and Technology course at the Federal University of Pampa - Itaqui Campus; in this stage, themes related to Interdisciplinarity as focused on in the course were approached using a questionnaire with objective and discursive questions. Initially, data were collected about the students' profile and finally their perceptions about interdisciplinary practices and the Course's Pedagogical Project. The analysis of the collected data took place in a qualitative way and according to the results presented, it was possible to verify that Interdisciplinarity is a positive aspect in the formation, adding knowledge and making teaching more flexible.
