Interdisciplinarity: confluence of disciplines, issues, devices, obstacles and levers

In a context where academic research issues and practices are shaking up the boundaries between disciplines and where educational institutions promote interdisciplinarity and multiply interdisciplinary devices, this issue aims to present current research in science and technology teaching concerning the confluence of disciplines.

After a first part developing the evolutions of academic research and of the scholar institution, the introductory article shows how the issue of interdisciplinarity, the way in which the links between disciplines are seen, are linked to the aims assigned to science education, with two contrasting but not conflicting potential orientations for training : an epistemological and a citizen orientation.

The contributions of the thematic section of the review take different positions on these two orientations regarding the aims assigned to science teaching and in relation to the aims of interdisciplinarity. They articulate epistemological reflections and analyses of interdisciplinary devices in classroom and teacher training.
