A interdisciplinaridade no contexto dos programas de pós-graduação em Ciência da Informação no Nordeste

Abstract

Considering the multiple academic intelligences (AMI) as a set of knowledge that tend to be interdisciplinary, the objective is to map the AMI of postdoctors working in postgraduate programs in the area of Information Science (PPGCI) in the Northeast of Brazil. . The research is characterized by the exploratory and descriptive level and adopted the quantitative and qualitative method. It is a documentary, exploratory and descriptive research, based on data collection in the Lattes Curriculum about postdoctors and on the Sucupira Platform regarding PPGCIs. It identifies 17 postdocs in a total of three PPGCIs, namely: UFPE with four postdocs, UFPB with eight postdocs, UFBA with five postdocs. The results demonstrate the post-doctoral IAMs in Information Science, from the construction of a mandala that represented the interdisciplinarity of these intelligences built by postdoctors during their academic career. From the variables academic background, courses taken, lines of research, thematic axes and scientific productions, the Communication and Information area emerges (40%), followed by Computer Science (15%), Literature. / Linguistics (13%), Administration (12%), Education (11%), Arts (5%) and History (4%). Thus, it is concluded that there is a need to confront the expansion of postdoctoral interest in disciplines that promote changes in their theoretical and practical fields, starting from the incorporation of the results and theses produced about Information Science, as well as the concern with the formation and performance of its researchers always emphasizing an interdisciplinary dialogue, but without losing the sense of dialogue, interaction and reciprocity between areas and disciplines.
