Interdisciplinarity in speech language therapy: the teacher's conception

PURPOSE: to analyze the concept of interdisciplinarity among teachers of the speech therapy course at the University of Vale do Itajaí. METHODS: the research was guided by a qualitative approach, through a discourse analysis following the French model, using an in-depth interview as the data collection tool. RESULTS: following the analysis, different subject positions were identified, in which knowledge of interdisciplinarity, the possible pedagogical situations in which it occurs, and the obstacles to interdisciplinary practices, were identified. CONCLUSION: It was realized that there is still a lack of firmly-grounded knowledge on the subject of interdisciplinarity that can lead to a work model with sufficiently defined and consistent theoretical and methodological principles. Finally, this work reveals a need for greater investment on research that can support the principles of interdisciplinarity in the area of Speech Therapy, in order to expand the horizons of this professional who needs, above all, to understand him or herself as a health professional whose daily practice requires a plural perspective.
