Discussion

Mario Freitas Nov 11, 2018:
Discipline 2 In Raquel's example above, the Disciplines would be Economy, Accounting and Business Administration. The "disciplina" mentioned in the question is a subject that encompasses theories of these three disciplines, but not a discipline itself.
Mario Freitas Nov 11, 2018:
Discipline Robert, notice the áreas of geography, geology and ecology are doubtlessly disciplines. In Portuguese, however, we use the term "discipline" for subjects within these broad areas. For example: "O aluno está cursando a disciplina Topografia Plana" would be a "subject", "course" or "study" in English, within the Discipline of Geology. This is the big issue here, I think, as "discipline" is not commonly used in English for specific subjects, only for the broad areas.

What is the discipline What is the discipline of geography?
These sub-disciplines are Physical Geography (natural sciences) and Human Geography (social sciences). Based on the definition above Geography can be seen as trying to explain the relationship between the social and physical processes that occur in our world in the context of region and places.Feb 10, 2015

Hi all, I appreciate your suggestions and in particular the discussion on the precise meaning of the word 'discipline'. Oliveira Simões, I like your proposition of a 'theory-integrated discipline'. However, it seems to involve a hierarchical knowlegde structure that is absent from the original in Portuguese. Airmailrpl, I was thinking of something along the lines of what you suggested, perhaps "integrative 'module'" instead of 'discipline'.

Estudo de caso que permitam number-agreement fail no?
Mario Freitas Nov 10, 2018:
Yep, something like that.
Anyway considering the question, the big issue would be the subject, IMO. I agree the term "discipline" would be a synonym for "area", not for a specific subject.
But in Australia, you never know. My brain thinks in American English, not British.
Juliet Attwater Nov 10, 2018:
Thank you Mario - on both counts :) Perhaps rather than "Case Study", "Analysis of Case Studies"? what do you think?
Juliet Attwater Nov 10, 2018:
I know what you mean Oliveira - but (in UK English at least) we tend to use discipline as a wider field of study, and NOT as a course taken within a discipline....the question was regarding a course taken within the "discipline" of administration? Does that make sense - or am I going mad?!!! :D

Oliver Simões Nov 10, 2018:
Discipline: Disciplina I beg to disagree with my colleagues who have refuted the term discipline. To me, these two definitions are pretty much in line with one another:

discipline: A branch of knowledge, typically one studied in higher education. Example:
‘sociology is a fairly new discipline’ https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/discipline
disciplina: Área do conhecimento humano, esp. aquela que constitui matéria de ensino escolar http://www.aulete.com.br/disciplina

The original context states "bacharelado", hence it's higher learning and in my view it falls under the definition of "discipline". The Merriam-Webster Dictionary corroborates this definition.
Mario Freitas Nov 8, 2018:
I'll have to agree with Dr. Juliet. The term refers to a subject/course in the pedagogy program of some college. I don't agree with "case study", though. The subject involves several case studies, and discusses them. It's not A case study.
Juliet Attwater Nov 8, 2018:
A good point, however, nearly all of these results refer to Geography, and particularly to the text used by UMSL and other sites that are foreign based. Also - 18K results are not very many in today's day and age when things are so frequently posted/copied elsewhere....just a thought!
airmailrpl Nov 8, 2018:
"integrative discipline" "integrative discipline"..About 18,100 results
Juliet Attwater Nov 8, 2018:
You definitely don't want to use "discipline" as the word in English means sth completely different! For this particular course though, I would personally just use "Case Study"!

theory-integrated discipline

A diferença entre "integrative studies" e "theory-integrated discipline" é que a primeira (também conhecida como "interdisciplinary studies") reúne várias disciplinas de uma forma abrangente, permitindo que os alunos "desenvolvam uma compreensão significativa das associações e influências complexas dentro de um determinado tópico." - https://www.edutopia.org/integrated-studies-introduction

Já a "disciplina integradora", conforme explicado no contexto atual, "permite a integração das teorias estudadas". Nesse sentido, penso que a melhor tradução seria "theory-integrated discipline":

"A theory-integrated discipline is characterised by students’ ability to create new knowledge from past knowledge. Thus, this leads to the concept of ‘cumulative learning’ (Myers, 2015). Cumulative learning then requires that students first comprehend the fundamental concepts before progressing to the next concepts, as these fundamental concepts will form foundations for future learning. This is because, in hierarchical knowledge structures of a discipline, present knowledge is considered and extended upon in order to build new knowledge. So in Life sciences, the cell theory maybe regarded as an example of such a hierarchal knowledge structure, since it contains basic and unifying ideas that describe the biological living things in Life sciences, as it states that:

- All living things are made up of cells
- The cells are basic units of life
- The cells are the smallest living thing in the body that can perform of functions of life

The cell theory organises the knowledge of living organisms within the subject as shown in the figure 1 below. So for cumulative learning to occur, it is important that PSTs must first understand the theory of cells, before they could begin to understand other complex knowledge about living organisms. So, deducing from the previous and this current section, we could then say that, Life sciences is a discipline that contains both hierarchal and horizontal structures of knowledge." - http://wiredspace.wits.ac.za/bitstream/handle/10539/25122/Ma...

agree Juliet Attwater : The problem with "theory-integrated discipline" is that it's not a common collocation in English (British)

Survey of theories and practices

They call it 'Disciplina integradora' because that's what came to mind and they had to call it something. Doesn't mean it was ever such a great name.

e.g.
CRM 331 PENOLOGY 3 SEM HRS.
This course provides a survey of theories and practices in penology and programs for the social treatment of criminals. The penal institutions in their physical, educational, and social aspects are discussed. The historical contexts and associated ideologies that gave rise to specific punishment policies, practices, and reforms are examined)
