Interdisciplinarity implies a set of relationships between subject contents taught in schools. This condition brings into question the status of absolute truth assigned to certain areas of knowledge, highlighting the need to understand the scientific and historical movement in which they are built. To achieve this goal, this paper presents the results of an investigation on the content ‘origin of life’, examining whether it establishes interdisciplinary relationships, according to the Curriculum Guidelines of the State of Paraná, regarding its presentation in Science, Religious Education and History textbooks. The study aimed to examine the emphasis given by the same topic, in these three areas of knowledge, on contents involving scientific, historical and religious understanding in a single theme. The selection of textbooks was oriented according to the technical reserve provided by the State of Paraná for schools under the jurisdiction of the Regional Education Center of Cascavel (Paraná, Brazil). We analyzed two collections of Science, a Fascicle of Religious Education, two collections of History, all of them for 6th and 7th grades of Elementary School, and the Curriculum Guidelines of the respective subjects. The research results indicated the need for further interdisciplinary works approaching the cultural knowledge and the scientific knowledge, in order to promote reflections on the Brazilian cultural diversity and its appreciation in the basic contents of Elementary School.Downloads
