A INTERDISCIPLINARIDADE NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

Abstract

The interdisciplinary approach has been used in many ways and at all levels of education. From childhood to graduate school, interdisciplinary studies are becoming increasingly popular. This type of study allows the student to learn by making connections between ideas and concepts across different disciplinary boundaries. Students who learn in this way can apply the knowledge acquired in one discipline to another different discipline, to deepen the learning experience. The effective approach to interdisciplinary study allows students to build their own interdisciplinary path, choosing courses that make sense to them. One of the greatest barriers to achieving true interdisciplinary study in educational settings is the need for educators to collaborate. This can be difficult to achieve, but not impossible. The academic system is still very structured in the concentration of specific specializations as disciplines and the integration of interdisciplinary studies have become uncommon in traditional fields of study. Interdisciplinary teaching and learning is maximized when professionals from different disciplines work together to serve a common purpose and to help students make connections between different disciplines or subject areas. This interaction supports the constructivist paradigm, which allows the construction of new knowledge and a deeper understanding of ideas than disciplinary study.
