La Interdisciplinariedad en los centros privados del Bachillerato Internacional: dificultades para su implementación desde el punto de vista de los Coordinadores Académicos.

摘要

In 2014 the International Baccalaureate publishes the “Next Chapter”, a revision of the curriculum of the Middle Years Program (IBMYP), whose main novelty is the introduction and promotion of interdisciplinary teaching and learning in response to a growing need for transform education in a response to the challenges posed to students through a complex and increasingly globalized and interrelated world. The implementation of these interdisciplinary projects should allow students to face and find solutions to problems of various kinds through the integration of concepts, knowledge and methods from two or more subjects. Integrative and based on disciplines, interdisciplinary learning is shown as an obvious methodological and pedagogical advantage but also as a logistical challenge for Academic Coordinators when trying to respond to the various needs and demands it poses. Using a mixed research process, we collected data and seeked to explain the how, the reason for a fact and how it is experienced by its protagonists; an extensive study (surveys) and intensive (case study) conducted through schools attached to IBMYP around the world has allowed to obtain answers from Academic Coordinators regarding the difficulties encountered in the implementation of interdisciplinary projects. Results that focus on aspects of a temporary nature, the most felt difficulty being the lack of collaborative planning and evaluation (50%). This work, in addition to analyzing these difficulties, raises possible solutions to address them and promote an improvement in the process of curriculum integration.
