(Inter)disciplinarity and transversalities: UFABC's higher educational program

Abstract:

Interdisciplinarity is one of the main statements that identifies the curriculum of the Bachelor of Science and Technology (BC&T) of the Federal University of ABC (UFABC) whose courses are steadily becoming molecular and molar. We sought to understand how to provide curricular relationships in this project and to see which regimes of truth are presented in the design and implementation of such project when it comes to interdisciplinarity. A historical survey of speeches was made and discourse analysis from a Foucauldian perspective from semi-structured interviews, official documents (pedagogical projects, normatives and legislation) and graphs drawn from the summaries of courses was carried out. We realized that interdisciplinary in its attitudinal derivation, and is an integrator of knowledge. This differs from the logic that can be established in the exercise of a flexible curriculum that escapes the norms and produces curricular singularities.
