Abstract

Interdisciplinary approaches aim to reduce the fragmentation of teaching in universities, strengthening students' skills and abilities, by relating content, subjects and the labor market, thus supporting an interdisciplinary approach to teaching. This research seeks to identify the interdisciplinary practice of teaching courses in the specific disciplines of Accounting Science at the University of Rio Grande do Norte. For this we used a questionnaire with open and closed questions, completed by 65 teachers, representing 90% of the population. The analysis shows that interdisciplinarity is practiced in part through the relationship of the content of courses taught primarily in history, and conditions the interdisciplinary approach concerned with the integration of research and its extension to education, as well as associates the content to the possibilities for application in the labor market.
