This paradigm is essential in the author's work. So, the search on screen is based on this perspective, by using inter-subject groups of work conduced by professionals of Computer Science, Social Communication, Architecture and Urbanism, Pedagogy, Psicopegagogy, Nutritional Science, Endocrinology, Occupational Therapy and Nursing, it was also part of this group an 8 year old child, daughter of one of the professional who took part of the group. This thesis aims to present the course of investigation developed, analyzing the action of inter-subject Occupational Therapy and Nutrition on the promotion of learning nutritional concepts through educative-nutritional games in order to prevent child's obesity in an educative context. The research was analytic, interventionist and almost experimental. It took place in a public school in Fortaleza, Cear?, Brazil, between August and December 2004. It was selected a sample non-probabilistic, by convenience, of 200 children, born from 1994 to 1996. It was selected almost nonprobabilistically, by convenience, 200 children born between 1994 and 1996. To analyze the results it was used a triangulation, associated by quantitative and qualitative approaches. The basis collect happened through games specially manufactured to these research- video-games, board games, memory games, puzzles, scramble, searching words and iterative basics. There were semi-structured interviews, direct and structured observations and focus in-groups. It was noticed the efficiency of educativenutritional games in the learning process, which lead to a changing of attitude towards the eating choices. These games gave similar results in relation to the compared variations preferences, experience and attitudes, theses attitudes were observed through the game; and the categories to compare the possibility of learning by playing, the fantasy in the learning process, learning concepts of nutritional education and the need of help in the learning process (mediation). It was proved that educativenutritional games could be used to teach nutritional concepts, in an inter-subjective action of Occupational Therapy and Nutrition in schools. The simultaneous application of these games lead to the optimization of child s learning process. It should be emphasized the need of studies about the adaptation of tools used in a child s Nutritional Education, with the help of inter-subjective action. Because just one subject, in a fractionated way can give an answer to complex problems and help to a change of the reality with effectiveness and resolution / A interdisciplinaridade constitui resposta na busca de solu??o de problemas complexos, e contempla as interfaces dos saberes, respeitando suas fronteiras. Esse paradigma ? fundamental na trajet?ria da autora. Assim, a investiga??o em tela caracteriza-se por a??o nessa perspectiva, mediante a estrutura??o de um grupo de trabalho interdisciplinar, constitu?do por profissionais de Ci?ncias da Computa??o, Comunica??o Social, Arquitetura e Urbanismo, Pedagogia, Psicopedagogia, Ci?ncias da Nutri??o, Endocrinologia, Terapia Ocupacional e Enfermagem, tamb?m fazendo parte do grupo uma crian?a de oito anos, filha de uma das profissionais componentes do grupo de trabalho. A presente tese visa apresentar o percurso da investiga??o desenvolvida, com o objetivo de analisar a a??o interdisciplinar da Terapia Ocupacional e da Nutri??o na promo??o de aprendizagem de conceitos nutricionais pela media??o de jogos educativo-nutricionais na preven??o da obesidade infantil, no contexto educacional. Realizou-se, para tanto, um estudo anal?tico, intervencionista e quase-experimento, em escola p?blica de Fortaleza, Cear?, Brasil, no per?odo de agosto a dezembro de 2004. Foi selecionada amostra n?o probabil?stica, por conveni?ncia, de 200 crian?as, nascidas de 1994 a 1996. Para a an?lise dos resultados, utilizou-se a triangula??o, associando as abordagens qualitativa e quantitativa. A coleta de dados ocorreu mediante a aplica??o de jogos elaborados para esta investiga??o: Videogame, Jogo de Tabuleiro, Jogo de Mem?ria, Quebra-Cabe?a, Ca?a-Palavras e Cartilha Interativa. Foram empregados entrevista semi-estruturada, observa??o direta e estruturada e grupo focal. Constatou-se a efici?ncia dos jogos educativo-nutricionais na media??o da aprendizagem, que leva ? mudan?a de atitude quanto ?s escolhas alimentares. Esses jogos obtiveram resultados semelhantes relativos ?s vari?veis de compara??o - prefer?ncia, experi?ncia e atitudes, atitudes observadas na execu??o do jogo; e ?s categorias de compara??o - possibilidade de aprender brincando, fantasia no processo de aprendizagem, aprendizagem de conceitos em educa??o nutricional e necessidade de ajuda na aprendizagem (media??o). Comprovou-se que jogos educativo-nutricionais podem ser utilizados na aprendizagem mediada de conceitos nutricionais, em a??o interdisciplinar da Terapia Ocupacional e Nutri??o, em escola. A aplica??o simult?nea desses jogos levou ? otimiza??o da aprendizagem da crian?a. Ressalta-se a necessidade de estudos sobre a adequa??o dos instrumentos utilizados na Educa??o Nutricional da crian?a, mediante a atua??o interdisciplinar, j? que somente uma disciplina, de maneira fragmentada, consegue responder a problemas complexos e contribuir para a mudan?a da realidade com efetividade e resolubilidade
