La inclusión de la interdisciplina en los planes de estudios de las carreras de la Facultad de Información y Comunicación

Abstract

There is a modern perspective for higher education that promotes comprehensive actions and strategies and with it the inclusion of interdisciplinarity to, according to Follari (2002), face overcoming disciplinary limits. However, it is noted that the inclusion of interdisciplinarity is not always pertinent and necessary and Follari (2002, p. 163) expresses it clearly when he warns that disciplinarily working an issue that requires the disciplinary combination is as negative as the pretension of an interdisciplinary approach in what requires a disciplinary requirement. Thus, says the author, it is not correct to assume a priori the convenience and benefit of appealing to interdisciplinarity considering it as a benefit without considering the subject to be treated.

This article presents the preliminary result of an investigation on the inclusion of interdiscipline in the careers of the Faculty of Information and Communication. Starting from the assumption, manifested by Follari (2014) and Nieto Caraveo (1991), regarding that there is no interdisciplinary discipline and without accompanying the statement of Follari (2007) which refers to that approach with simplicity the question of interdisciplinary is problematic, the following is the analysis of the curricula where the integration of knowledge seems favorable and necessary while, by definition, it is constitutively interdisciplinary fields of knowledge.
