Project title

interdisciplinarity: fundamentals, practices and research.

objectives

The project seeks to develop learning and research on Interdisciplinary in its foundations, Principles, methodological and practical procedures in Education and other Human Sciences.

Theoretical foundations

The studies are based on the theory of interdisciplinarity, in the epistemological dimensions, methodological and ontological; and in the theory of professional development, from the narratives and life stories, from the perspective of phenomenology.

Methodology

Research uses quantitative and qualitative approaches, with emphasis on the use of questionnaires for quantitative assessments (treated by statistical techniques), and observation journaling techniques, life stories and interviews for qualitative data collection (with treatment through content analysis). Studies of a phenomenological nature are allowed, case studies, beyond action research.
