As implicações da proposição da BNCC no ensino de Ciências da Natureza do Ensino Fundamental anos finais

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the implications of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) in the teaching of Natural Sciences in the final years of Elementary School. The study aims to present the development and objectives of the BNCC in the educational context, present the teaching contents of Natural Sciences indicated by the Base, identify the skills and abilities related to the specific contents of Sciences, and analyze its contribution to the critical and emancipatory formation of students. The qualitative approach research integrates descriptive, documentary and bibliographic research methods. As a method of data analysis, Content Analysis of the BNCC documents was used. Thus, it is evident that the Base, initially with the proposal of becoming an innovative act for education, brought with it a limitation in the exploration of contents and in the development of scientific knowledge, in addition to minimizing critical thinking on the part of students. By studying the subject, it is evident that scientific education must transcend the mere application of knowledge and practical skills, promoting the formation of critical citizens, capable of understanding science in a deep, contextualized and reflective way. When analyzing its development, it is observed how the document undergoes several modifications and improvements, making it consistent with the job market, forgetting that education goes beyond the assumptions of market-based and technical education, since it should be transformative for individuals, making them critical and autonomous thinkers.
