Resumo: This is a descriptive exploratory study carried out in a Brazilian Higher Education Institution (IES) with the participation of the coordinators for their importance in the joint actions among courses. This work analyzed the relationship among coordinators and how well they know and promote interdisciplinary actions based on the Projects and Special Activities (PAEs) developed in the institution. Besides, the coordinators evaluated the dimensions considered essential for the success of interdisciplinary work. The questionnaire data answered by the coordinators were interpreted through the Social Network Analysis (ARS) using UciNet V6 software. It was concluded that interdisciplinary actions are incipient among the coordinators. The “Effective Communication” dimension had the higher score among respondents to consolidate interdisciplinarity. On the other hand, the dimension “Individual characteristics” had the lowest score. Individual actions are highlighted to promote and disseminate interdisciplinary activities and interdisciplinarity is on the agenda of the IES, but there is no evidence of institutional action to strengthen the relationship among coordinators. Characteristics of the coordinator and or course make certain courses appear as “islands of knowledge”.

Foram analisados os relacionamentos entre coordenadores e o quanto estes  conhecem e promovem ações interdisciplinares tendo por base os Projetos e Atividades Especiais (PAEs) desenvolvidos na instituição. Também foram avaliadas, pelos pesquisados, dimensões consideradas essenciais para o sucesso dos trabalhos de grupos interdisciplinares. Os dados do questionário respondido pelos coordenadores foram interpretados por meio da Análise de Redes Sociais (ARS) com uso do software UciNet V6. Concluiu-se que ações interdisciplinares são incipientes entre os coordenadores. A dimensão “Comunicação eficaz” recebeu a melhor pontuação entre os respondentes para a consolidação da interdisciplinaridade entre os cursos. Já a dimensão “Características individuais” teve a menor pontuação. Notam-se ações individuais para promover e divulgar atividades interdisciplinares e que a interdisciplinaridade está na pauta da IES pesquisada, mas não se evidencia ação institucional para fortalecimento dos relacionamentos entre coordenadores. Características do coordenador e ou do curso fazem com que determinados cursos se mostrem como “ilhas de conhecimento”.Associação Nacional dos Cursos de Graduação em Administração (ANGRAD)2020-01-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://raep.emnuvens.com.br/raep/article/view/152310.13058/raep.2020.v21n1.1523Administração: Ensino e Pesquisa; Vol. 21 No. 1 (2020): January-April; 24-51Administração: Ensino e Pesquisa; v. 21 n. 1 (2020): Janeiro-Abril; 24-512358-09172177-6083reponame:Administração (São Paulo.
