Resumo

This study analyzes the movement for interdisciplinary approximation among specialists in different fields of knowledge, taking into consideration their epistemological and pedagogical aspects, from the perspective of a wider understanding of reality, perceived as a dynamic and complex whole. The analysis was undertaken within a Unit of Research in Science´s Teaching, originally made up of science teachers at different levels of formation, along with professors involved in Teacher Formation at the School of Civil Engineering. Four State Schools and a Federal Center of Technology also participated in the project. In this context, this study proposes to discuss the possible dimensions of the relations and interactions between specialists in science teaching and civil engineering, in order to understand the epistemological way of building interdisciplinarity into the teaching of the sciences. The unit held fifteen meetings, during which science teachers at different levels participated undergraduates, Master students, engineering professors and student engineers. From among the fifteen meetings, all filmed in VHS and transcribed, six were selected for analysis. Methodologically, this study is considered a participative research. For analytical purposes, the reflections obtained were grouped into three categories: i) the conceptions of interdisciplinarity of the different groups which make up the unit; ii) the approximation dynamics between the teaching of the sciences and civil engineering; iii) the contribution of this approximation. Considering the complex epistemological nature of interdisciplinarity and the need for renewal in the teaching of the sciences, this analysis points towards the need to promote new dialogues, based on a broad understanding of the foundations of sciences, at the different levels of production and appropriation of science. It was also seen that the analysis of a certain problematic, from an interdisciplinary perspective, generates a broader view of the ways and possible strategies needed for overcoming these difficulties, by providing indications and solutions that are more global than those obtained from an individualized approach to the object in question. On analyzing the nature of the relations referred and the building of interdisciplinarity from epistemological, pedagogical, historical, political and social aspects, this study is, therefore, justified by the character of its propositions and by the critical reflective task of understanding the dynamics of the thinking which underlies such integration.
