Zusammenfassung:In a society that aims to guarantee an inclusive education for all and without exclusions, pre-service teacher training becomes an essential space to produce knowledge that allows to respond to current educational demands. However, the epistemological roots detected in Chilean pre-service teacher education result in knowledge fragmentation, contrary to the political and social demands that promote interdisciplinarity for the complementarity of knowledge. The objective of this article is to discuss how to encourage interdisciplinary practices in pre-service teacher training for the development of inclusive education, recognizing the existence of an epistemological problem in a Western university that promotes knowledge fragmentation. Edgar Morin's notions of complex thinking and Aníbal Quijano's coloniality of power are used to analyze the problem of fragmentation. This article proposes some alternatives to transform knowledge production in pre-service teacher training from the view of interdisciplinarity, based on Boaventura de Sousa Santos' post-abyssal thinking and ecology of knowledge. It is concluded that initial training for future education professionals should be open to new spaces of knowledge production, aiming at dialogue among disciplines for a plural knowledge.
