Um conto e vários encontros

Abstract

This project became real due to the researcher's interest in new approaches to teaching and in implementing a transdisciplinary teaching proposal. In this case, the proposal consisted of a reading assignment, under different perspectives, of a Machado de Assis's short story. The project was based on Edgar Morin's ideas of the complexity of knowledge of different subjects, and traditional school's simplistic approaches to learning, were questioned. Contextualizing and integrating were the objectives of the work developed by teachers of Reading and Writing Texts, Philosophy, Sociology, Psychology, History , subjects that together with Academic-Scientific and Cultural Activities, are part of the freshman year of the School of Pedagogy at "Faculdade de Ciências Aplicadas e Tecnológica do Litoral Sul/FACSUL". Transdisciplinary projects of such kind may be applicable at any school level, aiming to create a valuable dialogue between areas of knowledge, and also to achieve a more significant and contextualized learning.
