Base nacional comum curricular: mudança ou reprodução?

Abstract

This work entitled National Common Curricular Base: change or reproduction? seeks to answer the question presented, investigating the contribution of the new curricular document approved in 2017/2018 for Brazilian education. The research has a qualitative approach and an exploratory nature, developing from a bibliographic survey and document analysis, based on the social theory of Pierre Bourdieu. With the studied bibliography we seek to present and discuss the political-social and historical context of Brazilian education and what may represent the implementation of BNCC in this context, aiming at the restructuring of national school curricula. The documents analyzed: BNCC; textbook; and Alagoas Curriculum Reference provide an overview for the analysis of the school curriculum. For Bourdieu (1989) the structured and structuring condition of the school allows the institution to contribute to conservation and social reproduction, through its curriculum, hiding the relationships of forces established within this process. Therefore, and based on the analyzes carried out throughout this work, we consider that BNCC as a national curriculum policy is yet another reproduction instrument. However, we believe that a counter-hegemonic education should be the utopia that governs the teaching action in search of social transformation.
