Abstract

Based on documentary and bibliographic research, the text analyzes an interdisciplinary category in Rural Education, with a view to contributing through restructuring interviews of the Pedagogical Projects of the Rural Education Degree Course, at the Federal University of Maranhão, in Bacabal. In addition to a brief historical trace and a review of the literature, part of the criticism of disciplinarity and criticism of interdisciplinarity, the text follows a review of the Degree in Rural Education in its theoretical and political origins, placing the place of interdisciplinarity in the course curriculum, positioning itself in favor of the need for an interdisciplinary approach in the teaching of knowledge, using interdisciplinary skills and to obtain an understanding of the reality of the field as ears, placing knowledge and practical pedagogical approaches in practice. And it indicates as possible paths for Interdisciplinarity in Rural Education: research and work as educational principles and curricular organization through alternation, which are integrated from an activity plan that organizes interdisciplinary collective work, guided by representative integrators of individuals from public interest in the peasant reality, taken as an object of study and pedagogical intervention, through teaching, research and extension.
