ELEMENTS OF INTERDISCIPLINARY INSTRUCTION IN THE NATURAL SCIENCE CURRICULA

Summary/Abstract: Natural phenomena can not be treated and understood in the context of a single discipline. School projects in which students are engaged, developing content and working methods that do not involve strict barriers between disciplines. In addition, there are students capable of high performance, students which have formed interdisciplinary skills and skills transfer. For these students, interdisciplinary approach to content and physics phenomena represents the usual way of working. Interdisciplinary learning can be applied in the context of differential treatment of students and of the learning content respectively. Differential treatment of students is a necessity in terms of diversification of skills, learning styles, educational profiles and their future professions. Students learn to enjoy those parts of the curriculum that is close to areas where they are passionate. Therefore, the teacher is able to launch this challenge to students. Attracting students to science has multiple results, such as attending school curricula in good condition, getting school performance in this area, increasing the number of future specialists in natural sciences. Therefore, our article presents elements of the physics discipline integrated in an interdisciplinary treatment of the contents. In this context, we intend to show that is possible to developing the projects which have the objectives to build graphic user interfaces used in physics learning process, or to control a continuous wave laser beam by a simple electronic circuit. Also, our article presents some laboratory experimental subjects with extensive content that can be discussed in the differentiated treatment to physics discipline. We estimate that in terms of interdisciplinary process, physics learning is a positive factor which leading to the complete and unit educational products for school curricula.
