Interdisciplinaridade na prática versus políticas públicas para a educação básica: a realidade da escola pública

Abstract

Interdisciplinarity is expensive and demands more resources and investment in comparison to traditional education and this is a great challenge for its realization in practice. The problems of our current society are presented in a complex and challenging way that need a vision beyond the fragmented dimensions. Interdisciplinarity is presented as a teaching and learning tool capable of solving this issue and meeting the need for significant knowledge. That is why this theme appears in the educational context, but its insertion in practice is still far from the school reality. This work aims to demonstrate that the realization of an interdisciplinary teaching that in fact fulfills its purpose of establishing connections between scientific knowledge and phenomena, requires more investment in public schools and improvements in the career plan of teachers so that human and physical resources are available. according to what is recommended in the documents guiding education for the implementation of interdisciplinary teaching. The performance of interdisciplinary teaching in public schools should not be solely the responsibility of the teacher, because the responsibility for adequate structures and working conditions is a function of the government. Through questionnaires sent to teachers and pedagogues of state schools in the municipality of Porto Barreiro I was able to conclude that both schools and the current working conditions of teachers do not meet the needs of interdisciplinary teaching.
