Resumo(s)

The concept and the role of interdisciplinarity in the 21st century teaching-learning process should aim to overcome the rigid compartmentalization of individual syllabus and thus contribute to a more global and integrative education. The formal structure of academic curricula reflects an over-specialization of knowledge that causes an undesirable disconnection of contents between disciplines and, sometimes, within a single discipline. The interdisciplinary approach presupposes a break from more traditional teaching methods. It poses a challenge and requires a behavioural resetting of faculty and students, teacher training, the implementation of new educational policies, and a consequent redesign of syllabuses and curricula. Adequate governance policies, financial incentives, and marketing policies are essential. Though the interdisciplinary approach may seem complex due to the integration of diverse syllabus, disciplines, and individuals from both academia and community, it is a motivating and advantageous pedagogical strategy. The methodology used in this article is to review the literature on this topic, providing a theoretical / scientific framework for the account and analysis of positive experiences conducted and/or observed by the author - a teacher in higher education.
