Geografia escolar e currículo: a proposta da BNCC para o ensino de Geografia na Educação básica

Abstract

Currently, the structure and guidelines proposed by the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) have been the agenda for various education sectors. The document, which is the basis for the construction of teaching proposals for basic education schools throughout the country, has been the target of criticism, especially due to the changes proposed for High School, which mainly affect the teaching of Humanities subjects, such as Geography. Due to this situation, this paper aims to discuss the concepts related to the teaching of Geography, the concepts about curriculum and how these are translated into the BNCC, the current guiding document for the teaching of Geography in the final years of Basic Education. To achieve this purpose, topics such as curriculum and teaching of Geography will be discussed, taking into account historical, social, economic and political facts, as well as the process of institutionalization of the National Common Curricular Base. To carry out this research, of a qualitative nature, bibliographic and documentary analysis techniques were used. The work is divided into three chapters: “History and characterization of the teaching of School Geography”, “Curriculum: concepts and theories” and “The BNCC and the teaching of Geography”. The main results obtained are linked to a better understanding of how the curriculum is associated with the different realities, involving political, social, cultural and economic contexts. Likewise, it was possible to understand in general terms the current situation of Geography teaching in relation to the BNCC.
