Abstract

This study aimed to examine interdisciplinary practice within teaching management in a Higher Education Institution, located in the Brazilian state of Bahia. Quali-Quanti triangulation of research methods was employed on the sole case study. Data collected through questionnaires was analyzed using descriptive statistical measures and analysis of Cronbach’s alpha as a measure of reliability of the scale applied. Data from the interviews were analyzed using the
content analysis technique. The results show that teachers and students believe in the contribution of interdisciplinary teaching to improved learning processes, the development of students’ systematic, analytical and critical thinking, and a broadening of their technical and interpersonal skills. For the case in question, it was, therefore, concluded that even without an explicit proposal based on organizational policies, and with all the difficulties inherent to the
implementation process and structure required for the development of activities – interdisciplinary teaching shows itself as a tool able to improve student learning and performance, demonstrating the relevance of its use in higher education.
