Interdisciplinary Project to Build Teaching Skills: A Pedagogical Approach

The concept of “competence” includes the knowledge to be acquired, skills and attitudes. It is not enough for the professional to have a lot of knowledge, but it is necessary that he knows how to mobilize his knowledge in solving problems or in creating something innovative. The Interdisciplinary Project (IP) developed by higher education students at Virtual University of São Paulo State—Univesp (Brazil) is guided by Project-Based LearningLearningProject-Based Learning (PBL) and Human-Centered Design (HCD), in which the pedagogical action is based on the principle of the inseparability of the relationship between theory and practice. In this scenario, students develop at least six essential skills such as: Investigation; Problem Solving; CollaborationCollaboration; Communication; Professional; and Technological Practice. The aim of this chapter is to correlate the skills proposed in the teacher’s education at Univesp with the Future Skills proposed by Ehlers (2020). As a result, we assess that Univesp is a leader in this area and can train teachers with skills for a better education in the future.
