Interdisciplinary Work for the Elaboration of Formative Research: Student-Teacher and Teacher-Teaching Staff

Abstract

The article shows a solid proposal that aims to find out whether formative research is developed through interdisciplinary work between teacher-teachers. In order to guide the research process, the following scientific question is proposed: How does interdisciplinary work influence the elaboration of formative research among teachers of the different careers of the Faculty of Educational Sciences, Humanities and Technologies? This work is descriptive in nature, the following analytical-synthetic and phenomenological research methods were used, working from a mixed approach (Sampieri, 2014). From the random online survey applied to the teachers, 88 responses were obtained, which allowed us to characterise the professional experiences with respect to the subject of formative research. The results have allowed a closer look at the development of the formative research project during the academic period April - August 2022, showing that this work is carried out on an individual basis. There is an interest on the part of the teacher in working in an interdisciplinary way, bringing together the various subjects of a semester to obtain a quality product. Meanwhile, the obstacles in the development of interdisciplinary formative research are due to factors of time, communication, lack of knowledge and limitations that have had a negative influence on its action, being a necessity.
