Interdisciplinary Seminar II

Not applicable

The seminar will be taught by teachers of Port., Mat., Social Sciences, Nat. Sciences, Didactics and Pedagogical Practice of ECE. The SI1 is aimed to be a space of mobilization and integration of knowledge, allowing the establishment of connections between content developed in connection with the Educational Practice, since internship in a daycare setting will offer opportunities to identify problems and issues that can be reflected in the depth within this seminar. The methodology articulates the theoretical and practical components allowing the construction of integrated knowledge. It includes presentation of specific content, study visits, group work aimed at developing interdisciplinary intervention projects, and their respective analysis, discussion and reflection.

Evaluation: Interdisciplinary intervention projects in daycare settings (80%) + class participation (20%).

At the end of the CU students are expected to be able to:
– Identify what is professional knowledge connected with working in early childhood settings
– Adopt a transdisciplinary, systematic and coherent perspective among the current social purposes, educational aspects and pedagogical and didactical actions in the early childhood education.
– Mobilise specific knowledge of the different domains and content areas, in analysing aspects of the ECE.
– Infer educational intervention and research clues from interdisciplinary analysis and articulation that provide integrated learning.
– Reflect on the action developed into a systematic and formative perspective.

The specific syllabus in Didactics of Portuguese, Math, and Social and Environmental Studies will be developed from an integrated and transdisciplinary perspective take into account the training needs identified by students from their experience in the practicum in daycare settings.
