This essay aims at presenting conceptual reflections about the interdisciplinarity from the educational approach. It is a bibliographical research grounded on the educational literature. In order to delimit the discussion, we focused on the studies of Ivani Catarina Arantes Fazenda and Hilton Japiassu. Even though we understand that there is no closed concept in itself about interdisciplinarity in the field of Education, we conceive it as a new attitude towards knowledge. We defend that interdisciplinarity is effective in the movement of the school curriculum, while it contributes to the establishment of a dialogical relationship between teachers, students, knowledge and social reality. We emphasize that, in Education, the main objective of interdisciplinarity is to implement the human formation of the subject, which is based on its awareness of the world.
