O espectro de uma terceira onda: questões e desafios da educação formal em IHC em uma instituição brasileira

We present in this article some reflections on the challenges of developing an HCI education aligned on the so called HCI third wave. We discuss the necessary perspective of such an endeavor in order to ground a curriculum reformulation under development at UTFPR, Curitiba. We address the tensions between the established curricula recommendations from one side, and the cultural, axiological, political and ethical issues raised by the third wave on the other. In this perspective , we recollect some of the experiences we have at the curricular discussions and on actual efforts to upgrade the Information Systems degree. Whit this aim, we succinctly present a proposed framework, in order to springboard a discution we belive is necessary at the national scope. This curricular structure addresses not only the courses in the broad area of HCI, per se, but other ones in the human sciences that could foster the construction and the recognition of Computing and HCI as a interdisciplinary endeavor.
