Transdisciplinarity in Basic Education: a reflection from the concept of Edgar Morin

Abstract

This article addresses the theme of transdisciplinarity in basic education. The theme is justified by the need for teaching that values the integral and global education of students, contributing to them having a "complex" view of the reality and the world in which they live. Thus, the reflection was based on the following problem: "how is transdisciplinarity, in the Morinian conception, present in basic education and what are its challenges?", having as a general objective to investigate transdisciplinarity in basic education, from the Morinian theory of complexity. To this end, the specific objectives were structured as follows: to conceptualize transdisciplinarity in the light of Edgar Morin; report transdisciplinarity with basic education; and discuss the need for an integrative teaching of knowledge in basic education.  As for methodological procedures, this is a bibliographic study with a qualitative approach. Through this research, it is inferable that reflections on transdisciplinarity are fundamental to organize knowledge in basic education schools, so that those involved in the educational process can understand the contemporary world through a vision of the interconnections of phenomena to understand and face the challenges posed by contemporaneity.
