Mudanças no novo ensino médio e o ensino de biologia: impactos curriculares e implicações na formação cidadã

Abstract

The research carried out analyzed the changes to the New High School and their impact on the Biology curriculum and on students' civic education, in the light of Brazilian educational legislation and bibliographical references. The justification for this analysis lies in the need to understand how the reforms, which began with Law n. 13.415/2017 and were later amended by Law n. 14.945/2024, influence the quality of education and the all-round development of students. The objectives included identifying the main changes to the Biology curriculum, verifying the effectiveness of public policies related to the New High School and investigating the influence of these changes on students' civic education. The methodology adopted involved a literature review and document analysis, considering legal guidelines and Ministry of Education documents. The results indicated that the reforms promoted a significant restructuring of the curriculum, prioritizing technical training and curricular flexibility, but also raised concerns about the integrality of itizenship training. The conclusion points to the need for pedagogical practices that integrate the teaching of biology with citizen education, ensuring that students not only acquire scientific knowledge, but also develop skills and values that are essential for them to act in society.
