CRUZ, ELISABETE  and  COSTA, FERNANDO ALBUQUERQUE. FORMS AND DEMONSTRATIONS OF TRANSDISCIPLINARITY IN THE ACADEMIC-SCIENTIFIC OUTPUT IN PORTUGAL. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2015, vol.20, n.60, pp.195-213. ISSN 1413-2478.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S1413-24782015206010.

This paper is part of a research project that seeks to help clarify the meaning attributed to the introduction of transdiciplinary areas within a basic education curriculum. Assuming the characteristics of an exploratory research, the analysis focused on the forms and demonstrations of transdisciplinarity in the academic-scientific output in Portugal. The results of this analysis point out five key ideas, connected with an holistic understanding of social phenomena, that characterize the transdisciplinarity as: (1) a place of escape from daily routine; (2) a pathway to social equity and human values; (3) a new intellectual framework; (4) a new organizational model for the areas of school content; and (5) an ideal team model.

Keywords : transdisciplinarity; academic-scientific output; Portugal.
