Interdisciplinary Bachelor Degrees in Federal University of Bahia: a review of the Project implementation
Abstract
We discuss conceptual framework, operational perspective and political-institutional features of the Interdisciplinary Bachelor Degree (BI) implementation in the Federal University of Bahia, between 2009 and 2012, as compared to existing university education models which, until then, only offered disciplinary professional courses. We analyze narratives of key agents of the process, three UFBA teachers who performed administrative functions, and a BI student, engaged in the student movement. We have concluded that the perspective for the BI to become the first cycle at UFBA is on hold; support and resistance movements have accompanied it, suggesting large institutional challenges. However, the experience has led to a vigorous revision of rules and regulations naturalized for a long time and enabled reflections on the traditional concept of university education in Brazil.Keywords
