Description
Summary:This research aimed to analyze the use of the term interdisciplinarity by students of the Graduate Program in Development and Environment of the Federal University of Sergipe from 2003 to 2014. To this it adopted the theoretical and methodological framework of French Discourse Analysis (ADF). The analysis demonstrates that the term interdisciplinarity in Master’s theses shows five main characteristics: the concept of interdisciplinarity is divergently used in the studies; the theoretical dimension of interdisciplinarity prevails; there are no specific methodological procedures regarding interdisciplinarity; sustainability is adopted as a matrix, reference and/or index to the interdisciplinary analysis; interdisciplinarity is employed as a criterion for measuring learning. Therefore, the results indicate that interdisciplinarity is taken consensually as a guiding principle in environmental sciences as well as it is still restricted to its theoretical dimension.
