Abstract

This work describes the result of a research that investigated mind maps as an instrument for the analysis of teachers' understanding of interdisciplinarity after the participation of a workshop’ interdisciplinary projects in Environmental Education. The workshop was developed during the Collective Pedagogical Work Activities (CPWA) meetings and had eleven meetings. The research had a qualitative approach and as a methodological procedure the action-research. Fifteen teachers from different areas of knowledge from a state school in the interior of São Paulo participated in this workshop. The mind maps were analyzed based on the criteria proposed by Buzan (2019). In this work we present the analysis of four mind maps involving interdisciplinarity, interdisciplinary projects and interdisciplinary projects in environmental education. The observed results showed that they can not only be used for the analysis of understanding of a given theme, in this case, interdisciplinarity and interdisciplinary projects in environmental education, but also its construction provided a new tool for teachers to use in their classes or even to study, since for its construction they removed the main ideas from the text and put them in the form of keywords, thus developing the ability to abstraction and helped in the systemic view of interdisciplinarity.
