Full textThis thesis aims at understanding the increasing complexity of research projects as one of the possible explanations for the fall in researchers’ productivity observed over decades. We conceptualize a research project as an idea and a team of researchers. Each idea is associated to a given knowledge production function that we suppose of the CES-form. Production factors are sub-team efforts, each one in a distinct field of expertise. We theoretically show that, at equilibrium, team outcome depends negatively on a synthetic index which characterizes its knowledge production function that we call disciplinary complexity of the research project. Though this index and its components are typically not observable in the data, we show that it is tied to the Hill index of factor contributions to the output, a standard interdisciplinary measurement in our application. This offers an opportunity to test empirically the increasing disciplinary complexity over time of research as an explanation of its decreasing productivity. We confirm those predictions on an original dataset of nearly four hundred thousand research projects over the period 1999-2013

It examines suggestions for integration and interdisciplinarity in education for digital libraries curricula using definitions of a discipline, interdisciplinarity, and the transdisciplinary structure of a university in order to discover how such integration may be successfully accomplished. A plan to use learning communities and develop an interdisciplinary curriculum for Knowledge Organization is briefly discussed.

Full textThis paper reflects on what is meant by interdisciplinary engagement in the context of two integrated urban water management research programmes in the UK and New Zealand. Different extents of interdisciplinary engagement in research teams are conceptualised on a continuum that ranges from rhetorical intentions to joint research. We discuss how interdisciplinary working in research programmes is shaped through the processes of bidding, research management and production of outputs. The paper concludes that if higher levels of interdisciplinarity are desired, they need to be specifically funded and planned for. In particular, funders may need to provide flexibility in relation to interdisciplinary outputs, which may be hard to specify at the start of a research programme.

Full textThis research work, lead by a designer-researcher embedded into the professional field, questions the conciliation between real-life practice and reflective hindsight. On this basis, it partly relies on the epistemological issue: what kind of specific knowledge can design research create? How does it fit into both academic and professional frameworks? In a more personal way, how can one conduct a poietic design approach that combines practice and discourse? How to reconcile it with working reality? Exploring the continuities, echoes or tensions between praxis, theories and social implications linked to design practice is a way to develop a dynamic knowledge, rooted in reality. When looked at with a focus on experience, these disciplinary axes become complementary. They overcome the conservative oppositions between theory and practice, facts and values, sciences and society, aesthetics and politics. A design theory cannot aim at seeking the absolute truth, but rather at anchoring practice in ethics that respects the uniqueness of each individual and situation. For the design researcher, that means starting by describing the relations between practice and thinking, in order to rearrange them according to one’s needs. Then, the reflexive practitioner evolves into a theorist and a broker of ideas

Full textThis text explores the significance of perspectives from the cognitive sciences for interdisciplinarity or cross-domain thinking in science, and particularly in geography.
First interdisciplinarity is examined, describing some of the central conditions that such ventures exist under. The interaction between different conceptual systems is identified as a core issue in interdisciplinarity. By focusing on our conceptual systems the dissertation aims to say something general about interdisciplinarity and science, as well as focusing on what may be considered specific to geographic ways of thought.
The conditions for scientific and cross-domain thinking are explored through an examination of the human mind. The problem of relating our mental microstructures to cultural and scientific phenomena is given particular attention. Evolution, it is argued, has given the human mind an ‘intuitive ontology,’ which has significance for science, especially since it incorporates deeply rooted boundaries between knowledge domains. While this is important, it is incomplete as a view of science or of a discipline. The thesis therefore seeks to supply this theory with as much context as possible in order to get a more complete understanding of scientific activities.
To establish some features of the geographical way of thought, the intellectual history of the discipline is explored. Three features are particularly emphasised, namely its focus on usefulness, on synthesis, and on visual analysis. These features, it is theorised, form important parts of the explanation for why geographers often have sought to transgress boundaries despite the above mentioned intuitive ontology.
The thesis is mainly a theoretical contribution, but has also an empirical component. The Department of Geography at NTNU, Trondheim is described with a dual focus on intellectual characteristics and socio-cultural characteristics. The purpose of this is to better understand the theory about human cognition and geography in light of the complexities of a concrete case. By treating the Department as a complex adaptive system, the many different factors found to be significant are sought treated within one, relatively unified conceptual system.

Full textThis PhD dissertation is about interdisciplinarity for climate change: a research dynamic that has found a very broad expression in the literature, especially since the 1980s. This PhD tries to better understand how cooperations across disciplinary boundaries emerge and develop. More specifically it proposes an emphasis on reflexivity, in the sens of individual and collective scrutiny of the personal as well as disciplinary assumptions, motivations and interests, to facilitate innovative and authentic interdisciplinarity. Beyond this pragmatic objective, the exploration of interdisciplinarity for climate change allows for critical discussions on the role and organisation of science for this issue
DONINA, DAVIDE. "The Impact of Higher Education Reforms in Italy: Governance, Funding, and Interdisciplinarity." Doctoral thesis, Università degli studi di Pavia, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/11571/1203347.
Full textThe dissertation analyses how reforms from 2010 to 2015 have affected governance, funding, and interdisciplinarity into the Italian higher education sector. A post-positivistic stance is adopted, through mixed method strategy, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques, and using multiple sources of evidence. Data generated from intertextual and qualitative analysis of the contents of official policy documents and university statutes are analysed and triangulated with statistical data retrieved from publicly available national databases, from ministerial decrees as well as from reports on the Italian higher education system. The first three articles analyse the governance at both systemic and institutional levels, the forth article addresses the public funding issue, while the last paper inspects the governance of interdisciplinarity into the Italian higher education system. Research contributions highlight the value of taking a more holistic perspective on policy and governance issues. The first article aims to evaluate Italian higher education reform according to broader public management narratives. In order to do this, it bridges the public management reform narratives to a model widely employed in higher education literature to evaluate the governance regime of higher education systems, devising thus a new analytical framework to assess higher education reform trajectories within public management narratives, and employs it to position the Italian case. The analysis shows that the public management narrative that complies to explain the Italian reform is the neo-Weberian one rather than new public management. This result brings out a gap in current higher education literature as it challenges the widely shared assumption that the Italian system is being reformed according to new public management trajectory. Concurrently, the article stresses that new public management is not the only way forward governments are employing to reform their higher education systems and further narratives can benefit higher education research. The papers on institutional governance confirm previous result, showing divergent interpretations of supra-national and national policies at governmental and institutional levels. The comparative paper with Portugal highlights divergences in organizational choices of universities in both countries with respect to the institutional governance model driven by new public management concepts, while the article focused on Italy shows that dissimilarities arise even when a unitary national regulation is implemented, and clusters Italian state universities into groups that made similar choices. Other research contributions also support the value of taking a more holistic perspective. Article on funding allocation reform shows that the analysis of a policy change alone can be misleading since it can fit within more public management reform narratives, while the article on the governance of interdisciplinarity stresses that it is the interaction of policies into several governance domains that is crucial to achieve a policy target. Policy and managerial implications of the findings are also discussed.

Full textAnecdotal evidence suggests interdisciplinary ideas receive significant, positive press. The prevailing commentary details the promises and theoretical benefits of interdisciplinarity, yet countervailing viewpoints are noticeably absent from the conversation in major media sources. Moreover, there is a lack of empirical data exploring the values associated with the term, interdisciplinary. The study examined what ideological assertions are supported through interdisciplinarity in undergraduate education discourse published in The Chronicle of Higher Education from 1993-2013. Employing a critical framing, the study utilized document analysis to examine ideological building blocks (i.e. values, assumptions, symbols, and ideographs) in 177 articles over a 20-year period. Exploring the evolution of interdisciplinarity in the discourse provided an opportunity to present a rich, contextualized meaning of an important higher education concept. The findings suggested a positive, solution-orientation are associated with the term, and offered evidence for an emergent micro-ideology in the higher education community.
Thiault, Lauric. "Social-ecological vulnerability : from assessment to action." Thesis, Paris 6, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA066352/document.
Full textContemporary sustainability science and practice must embrace the complexity of social-ecological systems and capitalize on the lessons learned from the recent theoretical and applied advances made in various disciplines. This can be accomplished in particular by incorporating this extensive knowledge into management and decision making through integrative and operational frameworks. Based on contrasting but complementary case studies (coral reef fishery in Moorea, French Polynesia; artisanal benthic fishery in Chile and global food systems), and drawing from the recent development in social-ecological science, we extended the use of the social-ecological vulnerability framework by (1) mapping human-nature dependencies in the context of resource-user interactions, (2) integrating the temporal dimension, (3) accounting for multiple drivers of change and (4) their impact on diverse entities of the system considered. This interdisciplinary work provided the foundation to represent key linkages in social-ecological systems, understand the underlying sources of unsustainability, and address these through a set of targeted and context-grounded management interventions and policy actions. This thesis provides a new perspective on human-nature linkages and has a number practical implications for managers, conservation planners, and policy-makers that seek to incorporate a social-ecological perspective to tackle sustainability issues from local to global scales

Full textThe Berre Lagoon is an ecosystem historically disturbed by strong industrial discharges and significant freshwaters inputs from both natural and anthropogenic (EDF hydroelectric power station) origins. While rehabilitation policies initiated in 1994 are already showing some success, the introduction and proliferation of Mnemiopsis leidyi since 2005 could limit their effectiveness. The originality of this study is to associate oceanography and sociology in order to estimate the impact of M. leidyi on the functioning of this socio-ecosystem. We were able to show that the population of M. leidyi is maintained within a large range of temperatures (3 °C-28 °C) and salinities (10-30), with a quantity of carbon available ~ 3 mg C L-1 or more, temperature being a determining factor in population dynamics. The absence of this ctenophore on during cold events and its recurrence several months later suggests either the existence of an external source or the presence of a refuge zone that has been determined (Vaine lagoon) favourable to the maintenance of the ctenophores. The strong proliferation of M. leidyi in the Berre lagoon mainly affects professional fishermen. The clogging of nets, the mutilation of catches, the accelerated degradation of the material and the increase in the strenuousness induce an annual economic loss estimated at 50 %. Here in our interdisciplinary framework, the understanding of the biological and the anthropogenic interactions has shown that Mnemiopsis is tempering with the implementation of the rehabilitation efforts

Full textThis study aimed at researching the existence of the interdisciplinary attitude manifestations between the teachers and their relations with human development in high school environment. It was justified by the basic concepts clarification that supported the research and that were presented as fundamental nowadays interdisciplinarity and human development , connecting them to show that if the teacher lives the interdisciplinary attitude, this generates positive transformations for himself/herself and for those who are surrounded him/ her. This investigation was based on bioecological theory of human development, thought by Urie Bronfenbrenner, and the phenomenological interdisciplinary, whose the main representative is Ivani Fazenda. From their perspective, the dialogue with other authors begins in the theoretical bases construction. Turning these concrete thoughts, it was used the qualitative research with Ecological Engagement as methodological instrument. Its link to the theoretical ideals places it as a clear choice, because it sees the environment which influences in the person as the bioecological theory asks, besides of value the participating and the researcher subjectivity as the interdisciplinarity wants. The results showed that the teachers who answered the research had a partial idea about interdisciplinarity, without presenting some reference of its different perspectives and principles and without some practice realization. Nevertheless, some attitudes guided by dialogue, respect and othernesse overcame these theoretical differences, appearing as interdisciplinaries. These attitudes, from the moment that they recover, update and potentiate persons identity and values and put them as preciput element of the mutual relation with the others and with the environment, show as generated of human development.

Full textEl primero capitulo de mi tesis, "Incentives for Interdisciplinary Research", es (hasta el momento y según mi conocimiento) el primero trabajo que caracteriza formalmente la investigación interdisciplinar a través de complementariedad en la producción y desventaja innata en los costes para el desarrollo de una nueva área científica. Mi trabajo demuestra que cuando los objetivos de la investigación son suficientemente exigentes, la investigación interdiciplinar es preferible a la investigación especializada.
En el segundo capítulo de la tesis, "Business-Science Research Collaboration under Moral-Hazard", analizo cómo las características de acuerdos de colaboración son el resultado de un contrato óptimo entre las partes contratantes. Además, el tipo de acuerdo puede ser un importante instrumento de incentivo cuando algún (algunos) de los recursos importantes para la colaboración no son contratables. El análisis se hace en dos dimensiones: de la estructura del gobierno del acuerdo (descentralizada o centralizada), y de los problemas de información que esa estructura enfrenta. Aunque una estructura descentralizada siempre elije proyectos que están más cercanos a los intereses de la parte gobernante, las dos estructuras podrán utilizar el proyecto como mecanismo para reducir el efecto de riesgo moral.
El tercero capítulo de la tesis, "Patents and Business-Science Research Partnership" (escrito en conjunto con Walter Garcia-Fontes), presenta un estudio empírico que relaciona las características de patentes con el proceso de investigación que las precedieron. Utilizando datos de patentes europeas, los resultados de este capítulo están de acuerdo con las predicciones teóricas del capítulo anterior de esta tesis: la identidad institucional de las organizaciones que hacen la investigación se hacen visibles en las características de las patentes.
The research of my PhD dissertation focuses on the study of organizational problems, in the context of collaborative relations. In particular, the dissertation is composed by three chapters, in which I analyze incentives problems in interdisciplinary research and in collaboration agreements between firms and universities.
The first chapter of the thesis, "Incentives for Interdisciplinary Research", is (up to the moment and to my knowledge), the first article that formally characterizes interdisciplinary research: through the presence of complementarities in the production and through an innate cost disadvantage, when developing a new scientific area. My work shows that when the goals for the research are sufficiently demanding, interdisciplinarity is preferred to specialization.
In the second chapter of the thesis, "Business-Science Research Collaboration under Moral-Hazard", I analyze on how the characteristics of a research agreement can be the optimal outcome of a contract between the parties. Furthermore, the type of project can also be an importance incentive tool when some of the resources that are important for the success are non-verifiable and non-contractibe. The analysis is developed in two dimensions: the structure of partnership governance (decentralized and centralized), and the informational constraints that such structures may face. Even if a decentralized structure chooses a type of project that is closer to the interests of the governing party, both structures may optimally use the project as a mechanism to reduce the impact of moral-hazard.
In the third chapter of the thesis, "Patents and Business-Science Research Partnership" (jointly written with Walter Garcia-Fontes), I present an empirical study that relates the characteristics of the patents with the research process that lead to the inventions. Using data from the European Inventors Survey, PatVal-EU, the results of this chapter are aligned with the theoretical predictions of the previous chapter of the thesis: the institutional identity of the research organizations are associated with different basicness levels of the patens.

Full textFrom the historical point of view, the industrialization process in Friuli Venezia Giulia consists of a close intertwining of various kinds of productions developed in different local areas and based on the syncretism of different production systems – cottage industry, handicraft and industrial production – and also on the multiple activity pattern of peasants living in the countryside to cope with the difficulties deriving from the seasonal character of their work.After the Second World War the local systems made of small and medium-sized enterprises – called industrial clusters – developed in Friuli Venezia Giulia as in the Centre and the North East of Italy. Such a development took place because the local context was characterized by the close intertwining of work and family, the feeling of belonging to the local area, a value system based on work, a common technical language and often an epos, namely a history, a myth of the origins.The last thirty years starting from the 80’s have been marked by epoch-making changes as the growth of IT and the following quick development of transnational production networks, the growth of international trade, the increasing international integration of international financial markets that amounts to a real time global network at world level and a “great transformation” characterized by the shift of the world economic centre of gravity.This work focuses on the analysis of the transformation processes that have taken place in two industrial clusters of the Region Friuli Venezia Giulia: the chair cluster and the cluster of Maniago to understand the relationship between the transformation processes brought about by globalization and community identity and the ability of production communities to adapt to change, opportunities and prospects. From the methodological point of view, this means adopting an interdisciplinary approach to describe the social, cultural and economic transformation processes occurred.The research consists of four parts. The first part describes the theoretical approach, the object identification and the research methodology. The second and the third part concern the study of the two identified production communities, namely social morphology, ethnography and provide an interpretative reading of transformation processes. They comprise the analysis of historical and statistical data at national, regional and provincial level. These quantitative analytical methods, mainly of economic and demographic nature, are then matched against qualitative analysis of socio-anthropologic nature carried out on the ground in order to identify the value system characterizing the communities under scrutiny. The strengths of ethnography are the study of the enterprise-family, of the division of work on the basis of gender, of material culture and cooperation at public and private level. The fourth and last part makes a benchmarking of the two production communities analysed. The contact points and the differences observed together with the analysis of a much wider context – the Italian context – contribute to the hermeneutics of production communities connecting social facts that are separate only on the surface and to highlight some cultural peculiarities that otherwise would have gone unnoticed
Nella regione Friuli Venezia Giulia, storicamente, il processo d’industrializzazione è costituito da un fitto intreccio di esperienze produttive sviluppatesi nei diversi contesti territoriali locali, fondate sia sul sincretismo dei diversi modi di produzione, lavoro a domicilio, artigianale e industriale, che sul modello della pluriattività dei contadini nelle campagne per rimediare alle difficoltà derivanti dalla stagionalità. Nel secondo dopoguerra anche nella regione Friuli Venezia Giulia, analogamente a quanto verificatosi nel Centro e nel Nordest dell’Italia, si svilupparono i sistemi locali di piccole e medie imprese denominati distretti industriali. Tale sviluppo fu reso possibile da un contesto locale caratterizzato da una stretta interpenetrazione dell’attività produttiva con la famiglia, dal senso di appartenenza al territorio, da un sistema di valori basato sul lavoro, da un linguaggio tecnico condiviso, e spesso da un epos, una storia, un mito delle origini. L’ultimo trentennio a partire dagli anni Ottanta è contraddistinto da cambiamenti epocali, quali la crescente informatizzazione determinata dalle nuove tecnologie e il conseguente rapido sviluppo di reti di produzione transnazionali, la crescita del commercio internazionale, la crescente integrazione internazionale registrata sui mercati finanziari ovvero una rete globale in tempo reale su scala mondiale, una “grande trasformazione” caratterizzata dal cambiamento del baricentro economico mondiale. In questo lavoro si analizzano i processi di trasformazione di due distretti industriali della Regione FVG, il distretto della sedia e di Maniago, per capire la relazione esistente tra i processi di trasformazione indotti dalla globalizzazione e l'identità della comunità, la capacità di adattamento delle comunità produttive al cambiamento, opportunità e prospettive. Dal punto di vista metodologico si tratta quindi di adottare un approccio interdisciplinare in grado di caratterizzare i processi di trasformazione socio-culturali ed economici intervenuti.La ricerca è articolata in quattro parti. La prima parte riguarda l'approccio teorico, l’identificazione dell’oggetto e la metodologia della ricerca. La seconda e la terza parte riguardano lo studio delle due comunità produttive individuate, cioè la morfologia sociale, l'etnografia e una lettura interpretativa dei processi di trasformazione. Si tratta di di analizzare le fonti storico-statistiche nazionali, regionali e provinciali, e di affiancare a questi modelli di analisi quantitativi, principalmente di tipo economico e demografico, delle analisi qualitative, svolte localmente, di tipo socio-antropologico finalizzate ad individuare il sistema di valori caratterizzante le comunità indagate. I punti forti dell'etnografia sono costituiti dallo studio della famiglia-impresa, della divisione sessuale del lavoro, della cultura materiale, e della cooperazione sia in ambito pubblico che privato. La quarta parte conclude il presente lavoro con l’analisi comparativa delle due comunità produttive indagate: i punti di contatto e le differenze registrati e l'analisi di un contesto molto più vasto, quale quello italiano, hanno contribuito all'ermeneutica delle comunità produttive correlando fatti sociali solo apparentemente distinti, e facendo emergere alcune specificità culturali altrimenti ignorate

Full textIn regards to the concerning of the accounting education quality in Brazil, this study allowed to establish that the current Curricular Lines of the Accounting Course have a vision to prepare the pupils to face the fast changes of the market. Moreover the study benefits the evidence that in accordance with this vision the term interdisciplinarity is quoted many times in the document. It observes that the concept is complex and it is understood in different forms by the authors of the educational area. It verifies that there are the ones that understand the concept as a type of research, the ones that defend as a level of relationship among the disciplines and the ones that assume to be an attitude. The general aim of the work was to verify the existence of interdisciplinary characteristics in the education and in the research of the Accounting graduation courses. The research was divided in three parts: in the first one, it was searched, compiled and argued by means of a review of the educational bibliography the concept of interdisciplinarity in education and in the research; in the second, it was searched, compiled and argued by means of secondary data the characteristics of the education and the accounting research in Brazil; in the third, a census of the coordinators of the Accounting superior courses of Sao Paulo city that took part of the 2003 National Examination Courses became fulfilled contrasting the primary data with the concepts found on interdisciplinarity. The two hypotheses of the research for the analyzed population were proved, in other words, there are signs that the level of relationship among the disciplines are low and the inexistence of interdisciplinary characteristics in the education and in the accounting research. It recommends larger attention on the part of the institutions for these characteristics, increasing the organized forms of incentive to the research in the graduation level, bringing together the pupils of different courses, creating logics of distribution where the subject be more or so important as the fulfillment of the contents. For future researches suggestions are offered: (i) an extension of this research to other Cities, States or even for Brazil as a hole; (ii) the choice of a deepening analysis for one of the blocks analyzed; (iii) the use of other techniques for data collection; (iv) the analysis of the Conclusion Course Works of the graduation level in Accounting; and (v) a comparative picture between Brazil and some other country. (United States for example).

Resumo: Este trabalho de pesquisa aponta para possibilidades de integração curricular do Ensino Médio, em uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, a partir de experiências vividas e narradas por professores das disciplinas, Biologia, Química e Física, no contexto de um projeto, do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID), Ciências da Natureza: Integração Curricular no Ensino Médio. A questão formulada para essa pesquisa, a qual se constituiu em um referencial em torno do qual o trabalho se configurou, foi: Como uma experiência de um projeto de integração curricular interdisciplinar, no Ensino Médio, mobiliza identidades docentes ligadas às comunidades disciplinares? Foram fontes para este estudo, além das narrativas docentes, alguns textos de documentos oficiais e outros textos acadêmicos, analisados no intuito de perceber como professores podem ser interpelados sobre interdisciplinaridade e entendendo que tais textos, embora sejam significativamente marcados por intenções vindas de macro contextos, permeiam e são permeados por vozes vindas do micro contexto do cotidiano escolar. O andamento para produção desse trabalho, entre histórias e textos, foi realizado, metaforicamente, com olhar de um flâneur, um solitário que anda pela cidade em meio à multidão, sem se preocupar com as intencionalidades modernas do cenário urbano, consome o caminho a sua maneira, no seu tempo, vivendo experiências. As narrativas dos professores foram utilizadas como princípio, em uma perspectiva que privilegia a memória, inspirada em Walter Benjamim. Essas histórias contadas são adensadas em mônadas, compreendidas como uma forma de comunicação que ressignifica no presente, o papel das narrativas do passado, de comunicar experiências vividas. Nelas estão presentes marcas de conflitos nas identidades docentes e desafios, indicando as disciplinas como lugares de pertencimento e a interdisciplinaridade como objeto de choque. Esses professores especializados e que trabalham em um espaço-tempo distribuído em grades de horários, de acordo com cada uma das disciplinas, tiveram que, concomitantemente, se mobilizarem no sentido de inventarem outro espaço-tempo que possibilitasse um currículo integrado, para produção do projeto interdisciplinar. Em outras palavras, professores, como membros pertencentes às comunidades disciplinares, ao se chocarem com a interdisciplinaridade, experienciaram um momento de paralisação do que vinha acontecendo, rotineiramente, e tiveram oportunidade de mudar suas percepções sobre esse momento e sobre acontecimentos seguintes
Abstract: This research points to opportunities for curricular integration of high school in an interdisciplinary perspective from experiences narrated by teachers of disciplines, Biology, Chemistry and Physics in the context of a project, the Scholarship Program Initiation to Teaching (PIBID), Natural Sciences: Curriculum Integration in High School. The question formulated for this research was: As an experiment of a project of interdisciplinary curriculum integration, in high school, mobilizes teacher identities linked to disciplinary communities? It constituted a framework around which the work is set. We sought to also examine how teachers are challenged on interdisciplinarity in some texts of official documents and academic, understanding that such texts although significantly marked by welcoming intentions macro contexts, permeate and are permeated by voices from the micro context of everyday school life. The walk to produce this work, between stories and texts, was performed, metaphorically, with the look of a flâneur, a loner who walks the city in crowds without worrying about the intentions of the modern urban setting consumes the way your way, in his time, living experiences. The narratives of the teachers were used as a principle, in a perspective that prioritizes memory, inspired by Walter Benjamin. These stories are densified in monads, understood as a form of communication that rescues at present, the role of narratives of the past, to communicate experiences. In these markings are present conflict in the identities of teachers and challenges, indicating the disciplines as their places of belonging and interdisciplinarity as an object of shock. These specialized teachers and working in a space-time distributed scheduling in grids, according to each discipline, who had concomitantly mobilize in order to invent another space-time that would enable an integrated curriculum for production design interdisciplinary. In other words, teachers as members belonging to the disciplinary communities, to collide with interdisciplinary, experienced a moment of stoppage of what was happening routinely and had the opportunity to change their perceptions about this moment and on the following events

Full textThis thesis aims at the interpellation of the literary approach as an object of investigation, revealing, through the geographic view, social and cultural aspects contrasted by the landscape category. The objective is, establishing a dialogue between Geography and Literature in order to articulate the knowable reflections representative of reality through the tenuous line separating between fiction and the real, to perceive the geographical landscapes by the textual fabric of the poetics of João Cabral de Melo Neto described along the Capibaribe River and in the city of Recife. For that, it is necessary to present formalizing elements by showing the approach of literary interpretation through of research. It can reveal to the researcher the social, economic, cultural, historical and physical aspects of the research object and he does so in order to counteract the real and/or fictional landscape. Every narrative is a landscape and the landscape narrates, in this sense, analyzing the landscapes through Literature, it is possible to explore various possibilities of study in the meanders of interdisciplinarity. This interdisciplinary analysis is possible because it traces the (dis)similarities revealed between the landscapes perceived by the readers and the subjective load surrounded in the mimetic scenes of realities described in the literary texts. The methodological procedure is proposed from an analysis of the perspective of literary criticism as contextual aim for the production of knowledge, this resource gives the researcher several possibilities to present a solution to a given problem. The search starts from the poetics readings with approaches to a dialogue between Geography and literature. Especially, studying the landscape category as a way of constructing the imagery of the cabralina scenes of Recife and the banks of the Capibaribe River. The writing casts a fictional literary content, this poetic framework can, also as a historical source, offer experience, approaching reality and leading us to flagrant relationships in the plots that give us support to read and perceive the landscape, whether real or fictional. The poet\'s descriptions leave imprinted marks that show scenes of social and environmental issues, they can be seen in the poems Morte e vida severina, O rio: ou a relação da viagem que faz o Capibaribe de sua nascente à cidade do Recife and O Cão sem plumas, indicating to the researcher new looks to observe the world. In this sense, it is that this paper traces a theoretical course on the landscape to unveil the perceptions of the relations described in the cabralinos poems. Thus, the researches that establish the dialogue between Geography and Literature contribute to the understanding of spatial dynamics.

Full textInterdisciplinarity and interprofessionality are essential components of gerontology and teamwork in elderly health care. However, difficulties can arise for the real implementation of these concepts in gerontological practice. This study aims to raise the perceptions of a team of professionals who work in an outpatient clinic specialized in gerontological care regarding interdisciplinarity and interprofessionality in their training and daily work with the elderly. It is a descriptive research, of qualitative nature, under the influence of some assumptions aligned to the Gadamerian hermeneutics. The instrument used for data collection was a semi-structured questionnaire developed by the researcher and the accomplishment of a focal group. The data were categorized by means of the content analysis technique proposed by Minayo. Twenty-one professionals from different training areas participated in the study, who answered the questionnaire that contained questions about their perceptions and about the contact they had with the concepts in their academic and professional training. Among these professionals, 12 experienced the focus group to discuss the theme. The main results pointed out that these professionals can see the importance of interdisciplinarity and interprofessionality in their professional performance, even though some of them have difficulties in defining the concepts and those who manifested such difficulty had a longer experience in gerontology. They also pointed out that 48% of them revealed contact with the concepts in their graduation and 80% had during their postgraduate studies. Participants also flagged barriers and facilitating factors to apply the concepts in practice, presenting aspects of the relationship with other professionals and institutional issues. In view of these results, it was noticed the need for closer observation of the practice of these professionals in order to verify if in fact the concepts covered in the theory are present in the care given to the elderly. It is emphasized the importance of the institutional role in the permanent education of these professionals and the ethical commitment and responsibility of these professionals to keep up to date of the central themes of gerontology and teamwork

Full textThis research studied art and fashion trying to relate the two areas of knowledge through interdisciplinary theories. The main part of the research focuses on the interdisciplinary study of three acts occurring among contemporary artists Stephen Sprouse, Takashi Murakami and Vanessa Beecroft produced in collaboration with Marc Jacobs, creative director of Louis Vuitton. These cases were selected taking into account the encounter between fashion and art that emphasizes the beneficial action of the art in fashion product and fashion in art. From these cases are raised issues pertaining to the fields of art, design and fashion, showing the exchange between them, in which permeate the complexity that demands an integrative process. There is interest in investigating which type of interdisciplinarity meets every act and study them under a philosophical, sociological look and also under some theories of art. It is understood that the interdisciplinary study of fashion related to other areas contributes to formalize research in this field.
