Nova abordagem para identificar conexões disciplinares usando mapas conceituais: em busca da interdisciplinaridade no Ensino Superior. Ciência educ. [online]. 2014, vol.20, n.02, pp.467-479.

Interdisciplinarity can be considered a different way to address the impact of the scientific knowledge explosion in education. Despite its importance, interdisciplinary activities in classrooms are rare due to planning and implementation difficulties faced by instructors. The literature does not offer a robust procedure to support instructors to identify possible connections between their courses. The present study explored concept mapping as a way to identify connections between two courses about Natural Sciences and Psychology, Education and Contemporary Issues. After four steps for developing and revising concept maps, it was possible to represent the interface between these courses, and identify the concepts technology, complexity and religion as the promising ones to foster interdisciplinarity. The procedures described are useful to characterize interdisciplinary connections among courses of any level of formal education.
