Abstract

Our work aimed to investigate how the academic productions have approached discussion of the relationship between interdisciplinarity and science education. The focus of analysis were dissertations and doctoral thesis produced Brazilian postgraduate programs. For this, resorted sources of Brazilian academic papers database of Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) and the Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD) - Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia (IBICT). The search in these virtual environments was made using as descriptors: science education and interdisciplinary. We observe a reduced nomber of work with this thematic, and the most concentrate in institution of the Brazilian South and Southeast regions. We realize also, what the work discussing the interdisciplinary in science education focusing on practice and teacher training. While interdisciplinarity is a important aspect of the educational practice and in the dissertations and thesis analyzed, we observe what the authors do not present a depth discussion. In face of this results we perceive the existence of a researchs gap, which, in our understanding, are important in the thematic context. Thus, we detach the necessity in studies what investigate and discuss interdisciplinarity linked the perception of students, textbook, and curriculum of teacher training, over there look for practicing teachers who train future teachers.
