Human development and interdisciplinary education: The confluence between psychology and occupational therapy courses

Abstract

This article documents the experience of interdisciplinary education focusing on the confluence between psychology and Occupational Therapy courses in relation to human development. The account emphasizes the dynamics of the confluence between the two subjects and course planning, strategy and evaluation. The experience reveals possible confluences that arise under an interdisciplinary teaching approach. Through interconnected planning and joint activities, the integration of different areas of knowledge has gained prominence, as has the articulation of theoretical and practical dimensions based on the broadening and comprehensiveness of care, showing themselves to be a path for reflection on the complexity of trajectory of human development.
