This article details the construction of the discipline "Readings and reflections in Philosophy, Science and Art", which is part of a project developed by the Program of Graduate Studies in the Teaching of Sciences of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute/Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (IOC/FIOCRUZ), linked to the line of research entitled "Science and Art as a motivation strategy for education in science and health", whose objective is to create pedagogical tools to bring together science and art in the teaching of the health sciences. The discipline's proposal is to identify possible theoretical frameworks that might help to reflect about the interface between these two areas; to identify elements that demonstrate the potential of such dialogue for the teaching-learning process; to value imagination, creativity and intuition; to stimulate the creative drive to "re-create teaching"; to produce a systematic reflection about the complex interaction between teaching and learning, between instructing and sharing knowledges; and also to point toward the perspective of thinking critically and carefully about the artistic and scientific processes. The central aim of the discipline is to identify and contrast different theoretical frameworks, and to reflect upon the patterns of interaction between Education, Art and Science in the field of Health.
