Abstract

In the Call SEB/MEC 35/2021, the UFABC-USP-UniSantos network approved a project to create Interdisciplinary Degrees in Sciences (PLIC/USP), based on studies and prospecting conducted by the Alfredo Bosi Chair. At USP, directly linked to the Office of Undergraduate Programs, the PLIC/USP will open as a pilot program in the second semester of 2022. This experimental stage, lasting four years, will be subject to continuous monitoring and evaluation, with a view to adjusting the prototype to the demands and adaptations necessary for the success of the implementation process. With this aim, this implementation research project is proposed in four dimensions: conceptual, curricular, pedagogical, technological. This implies evaluating the process of design, prototyping, and implementation concomitantly, with evaluation of efficacy, effectiveness and (short-term) impact of elements constituting the proposed intervention, in its curricular, pedagogical, and technological aspects. The set of studies envisage, in a general plan, to articulate concrete demands of educational institutions, integrating (and subsuming) the binary Quality-Equity in public education. As organizational structure, the project comprises the following lines of research: 1) Archeogenealogical and pragmatic explorations of conceptual questions of innovation in education; 2) Description and validation (micro-experimental) of the specific effectiveness of innovations and curricular arrangements of PLIC/USP; 3) Registration and evaluation of pedagogical procedural innovations applied in the project; 4) Prototyping of emerging technologies (meta-presence and immersive co-learning environments) of PLIC/USP. Multi-method studies will be carried out to evaluate efficacy, effectiveness and (short-term) impact of conceptual, curricular, pedagogical, and technological elements constituting the intervention implemented. Study results will be articulated into a perspective of Translational Transdisciplinary Research and will serve as subsidies for the creation, expansion and improvement of interdisciplinary undergraduate teaching degrees, producing information crucial for the management of educational systems, especially in the state of São Paulo.
