Abstract
This article analyzes the potential for reshaping disciplinary divides by engaging with theories and movements that relate to educational change. Generating educational structures that diverge from conventional discipline-based models are a common way of attempting contemporary educational reforms. Interdisciplinary approaches are analyzed in this paper relative to theories of change in the context of secondary level education, with a focus on Québec, Canada. The purpose of this article is to understand and give meaning to the concept of interdisciplinarity within educational change and reform. This exploration proposes a conceptual map for understanding educational change efforts that aim towards rethinking disciplinarity. A model case, NEXTschool, is included to illustrate the applied relevance of the theories and ideas explored in this paper.

Résumé
Cet article s’intéresse au potentiel de remodeler les clivages existants entre les disciplines en s’inspirant d’articles qui explorent les théories et mouvements permettant des changements en éducation. Créer des structures éducationnelles qui se démarquent des modèles traditionnels basés sur les disciplines se révèle une pratique commune pour amorcer des réformes en éducation (Lenoir et Klein, 2010). Dans cet article, les auteurs analysent des approches pédagogiques qui combinent, traversent ou transcendent les divisions disciplinaires en lien avec des théories du changement, au niveau de l’enseignement au secondaire et particulièrement au Québec, Canada. L’objectif des auteurs est de comprendre et de donner un sens au concept d’interdisciplinarité dans un contexte de changement et de réforme en éducation. S’inspirant du modèle d’analyse de concept de Hupcey et Penrod (2005), les auteurs proposent une carte conceptuelle pour représenter les initiatives de changement mises en place dans le domaine de l’éducation dans le but de redéfinir la disciplinarité. Une étude de cas, NEXTschool, est présentée pour illustrer la pertinence de mettre en pratique les théories et idées explorées dans l’article.
