A abordagem da interdisciplinaridade nos livros didáticos de ciências do PNLD 2020

Abstract

The term interdisciplinarity is used in several contexts in our society, among these contexts, we have the area of education and teaching materials. In the educational context, we find the approach of interdisciplinarity in an epistemological, methodological or educational conception. In this work, we seek to identify and discuss the interdisciplinary concepts of the five textbook collections, indicated by PNLD 2020, in the discipline of natural sciences, elementary school – final years. They present in their material, trying to answer the question: "How do natural science textbooks approach interdisciplinary work and what concept of interdisciplinarity is adopted? We use as a methodology, the documental qualitative analysis, because the textbooks deal with written materials, they can be characterized as documents. We analyzed the teacher's manual in the book, the activities identified as interdisciplinary and the guidelines given to teachers for carrying out the activities. The results showed that although we have interdisciplinarity with epistemological, methodological or teacher training approaches, in the collections we find only the focus of the methodological design on interdisciplinary activities, in addition to the existence of some activities presented as interdisciplinary, but which actually have characteristics of activities multidisciplinary.
