Inteligências e interdisciplinaridade no Programa de Pós-graduação em Ciência da Informação da UFPB

Abstract

Considering multiple academic intelligences (AMI) as a set of knowledge that tends to be interdisciplinary, the study maps the AMI of doctors working in the Postgraduate Program in Information Science at the Federal University of Paraíba (PPGCI/UFPB). Its methodological scrutiny is characterized by an exploratory and descriptive research with a quanti-qualitative method. It is a documental research, using as data collection sources the Curriculum Lattes, the Program website and the Sucupira Platform. The corpus is the PPGCI of UFPB and the subjects are defined as the active professors in this Program. Data collection and analysis procedures occurred through their categorization through the CAPES Knowledge Table, represented in tables and graphs. The results present the characterization of this Program, from the year of foundation, areas of concentration and lines of research. The active professors were characterized according to the variables of academic education, courses taken, lines of research, topics of interest and scientific production, as well as the identification of Librarianship in the profile of these professors. It demonstrates the AMI of Information Science teachers, based on the construction of a mandala that represents the interdisciplinarity of these intelligences built in tracing their academic trajectory. It verifies that the Communication and Information area is evident in the five researched variables, being transcendent in all of them and highlighting the intelligences from the following correspondence: 82.00% in the research lines; 76.00% on topics of interest; 72.00% in academic production; 63.00% in academic training and; 35.00% in courses taken. The areas that present interdisciplinarity in IAM are: Education, Languages/Linguistics, Law, Computer Science, Sociology, History, Anthropology/Archaeology and Interdisciplinary area. Compared to the general data of the Lattes Curriculum of the analyzed professors, Librarianship corresponds to 35.06% of academic training, present in 3.45% of the courses taken, 1.30% of the lines of research presented and 5.88% of the themes of interest identified. It is concluded that academic training and performance is directly related to the interdisciplinarity of the PPGCI faculty at UFPB.
