Interdisciplinaridade e formação inicial de professores: uma proposta metodológica

Abstract

This work describes a qualitative research whose. Have objective was identify the contributions of an initial teacher training strategy for the development competences to plan interdisciplinary didactic interventions in the teaching of physics at the intermediate level of by future physics teachers. Our work is based on the ideas of the HistoricalCultural Theory developed by Lev S. Vygotsky and, when the field of interdisciplinarity is concerned, theoretically and methodologically, on the approach proposed by Gérard Fourez, mainly in the concept of Interdisciplinary Rationality Island. A set of ten meetings with the academics was designed to help them build the concept of Interdisciplinary Rationality Island around the development of a project centered about the theme of "burnings". In order to collect data, we made use of three instruments: the audio recording of the encounters, the activities performed during the meetings and the complementary activities, and finally the material about burnings and a guide for the teacher of the basic education. In order to gather information about the evolution of the academic’s ideas about interdisciplinarity, we made the analysis of the speeches of the academics applied on the transcriptions of the recorded meetings audios and the two products of the project, a folder about burnings and a guide for high school physics teachers about the development of interdisciplinary activities, were analyzed, searching for concepts linked to interdisciplinarity. It is concluded that the scholars involved in this work were able to internalize the concepts of interdisciplinarity and construction of the island of interdisciplinary rationality, even at different levels of its proximal development zones, some with indications of concepts in the real development zone.
