Educação ambiental na BNCC - análise das competências e habilidades

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how Environmental Education (EE) is expressed in the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), considering the competencies and skills outlined in this official document of Brazilian basic education. The research is documentary, of a qualitative nature, based on the critical analysis of the BNCC and on theoretical studies by authors who discuss environmental issues in the educational context. The results indicate that EE, although guaranteed by specific legislation, is presented in the BNCC in a superficial, fragmented, and disjointed manner, lacking clear guidelines for its curricular implementation. The document emphasizes competencies aimed at the labor market, compromising students' critical and civic formation and silencing urgent socio-environmental issues. It is concluded that a review of the national curriculum is necessary so that EE can be treated as a transversal and structuring axis of education, based on interdisciplinary, critical, and transformative pedagogical proposals.
