Uma possibilidade de formação diferenciada: o caso do Bacharelado Interdisciplinar em Ciência e Tecnologia da Unipampa - Campus Itaqui

Abstract

This project addresses the Interdisciplinary Bachelors (BI), undergraduate courses that propose an interdisciplinary training perspective, aiming to reduce the fragmentation of knowledge and transform higher education. The case of the Interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science and Technology (BICT) at Unipampa - Campus Itaqui-RS, which was created in 2012 and is currently experiencing the implementation of a new Course Pedagogical Project - PPC- 2023. We sought to investigate the structuring elements of the proposal and its reception in the course community, focusing on the changes made in relation to the former PPC. This study is justified by the felt need for greater knowledge about the course and its characteristics, as it proposes to provide a differentiated and innovative training. The importance of an Interdisciplinary course in our region was addressed and how it contributes to academic and professional performance, because due to its thematic diversity it allows a look based on the interaction between the different areas of knowledge. The investigation was carried out based on a bibliographic review on interdisciplinarity and the framework developed for the BI, supporting an understanding of the object of study; in a second moment, the document of the new PPC is analyzed, identifying the main elements that configure a differentiated formation; the analysis was complemented with the application of interaction with the BICT students, so that the knowledge of the potentialities of the BICT in providing a differentiated formation and the challenges faced are known to the whole community.
