<strong>THE NEW UNIVERSITY PROJECT IN BRASIL AND IT’S FOCUS ON INTERDISCIPLINARY CURRICULUM</strong>

Abstract

This work has the purpose of discussing the theoretical fundamentals of the interdisciplinary curriculum based on the analysis of the pedagogical project adopted by Universidade Federal do ABC, which is innovative for its peculiarities in Brazil. The research focuses its study on the classical theory principles related to syllabus questions; it makes a system of quality indicators for the continuous evaluation of possible results that the project can reach. The field of evaluation of quality associated with the theory of the curriculum was chosen because it represents the ideas which have been coming out of educational changes that have been taking place in the present century. These emergent ideas originate reference proposals which will be able to result in the appearance of an effective interdisciplinary school organization. The work leads to the conclusion that there are basic problems to be solved in the analyzed pedagogical project and shows how an inadequate curriculum practice turns ineffective the intended educational quality.
