RESUMO

Discussions on interdisciplinarity are not new and, although that are controversies how much to its meaning, it is widely disseminated and accepted in the scientific and pedagogical ways, at the universities and schools, since the last decades it century XX, being proposal as one them basic pedagogical-scientific principles in many courses and/or curricular reforms in the brainstorming for a variety of educational problems. Despite this, remain doubts concerning how it has been understood by the education professionals, in what way has been practiced. From there, the objectives that guide this research are: to understand the place of the interdisciplinarity in the Course of School Management (CEGE) promoted by the College of Education of the Unicamp, specifically in the Sciences curricular component; to analyze the interpretation that the head teachers possess about the potential to interdisciplinary of the Key Ideas disclosed by this curricular component; to identify and to discuss the manifestations and representations of interdisplinarity contained in the speech of head teachers participating Course. This is a study predominantly quantitative, covering a sample of 186 works of completion of Discipline "School Management, Curriculum and Culture", where the head teachers had been requested to visualize the curriculum of their schools so interdisciplinary, from one of Key Ideas of the Sciences curriculum. As categories of analysis, were adopted themselves seven key Ideas of the Sciences curriculum presented in the Course, being four of matrix predominantly programming and three predominantly methodological. Also they had been created, based on the theoretical reference adopted, some categories that reflected increasing degrees of integration curriculum, and other auxiliary that expressed different forms of "resistance" to the task requested. Data analysis showed that: despite the Sciences curriculum presented in CEGE have clear interdisciplinary potential, most managers failed to make an integrating proposal, have been highlighted the multidisciplinary proposals (single or articulated), and only a very small number reached interdisciplinary proposals. Overall general of the work examined, the head teachers identified greater potential integrator / interdisciplinary in the methodological Key Ideas, with special emphasis to "Stimulating the development of critical thinking and divergent of the student", which does not represent a specific guideline of Science education. Moreover, although the second key idea favored by most head teachers "Environment in transformation, interaction, integration and dynamic balance" ? with programming features, was clearly marked that its potential interdisciplinary was not exploited by the vast majority of head teachers that the chosen, and neither was tapped its original meaning. It was concluded that although the interdisciplinary are strongly present in the speech of head teachers as one practical basic one to the current education, the Sciences curriculum focused in the CEGE was not configured satisfactorily, to the eyes of the participant head teachers, as na articulator element of the interdisciplinarity in the curriculums, in general, of the schools where they act. Doubts remain about the origins of the problems identified: if are derivatives of the conditions offered by CEGE, of the shortcomings of your previous training or of the traditions rooted organization of curriculum.
