This article presents a historical-educational study of the formative education of Ângela Maria Paiva Cruz - teacher, researcher, and manager of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte - in the time span between her first schooling (1964) and the concluding stage of her doctoral course (2019). The theoretical formulations used to analyze the corpus of the research (interviews, educational legislation, school documents, etc.) come from the classic thinkers Émile Durkheim, John Dewey, and Anísio Teixeira, especially in relation to the precept of pedagogical renewal of school education and the principle of construction and reconstruction of formative experiences in line with socio-educational contexts over the course of school life. The main conclusion resulting from this research is that this precept and principle were part of Ângela Maria Paiva’s formative and interdisciplinary education.

Keywords : Formative education; Interdisciplinary education; Pedagogical renewal of school education; Reconstruction of formative experiences.
