Abstract(s)

In this chapter, the authors present and assess, in the context of , the process and results of the implementation of an interdisciplinary didactic sequence on environmental and mathematics education, developed to promote preservice teachers research-based interdisciplinarity. The data were gathered, using participant observation and the reports produced by the preservice teachers' groups. The collected data were treated using content analysis techniques. The results of the participant observation and the analysis of the preservice teachers report validated the research-based interdisciplinary didactic sequence on environmental and mathematics education. The critical and research-based activities, reflection, and assessment, developed by preservice teachers, allowed the production of knowledge to improve practices in higher and basic education contexts.
