CHALLENGES IN IMPLEMENTING THE NATIONAL COMMON CURRICULAR BASE: A BIBLIOGRAPHIC AND DOCUMENTARY STUDY

Abstract

The general objective of this article is to analyze the current public policy associated with the process of preparing the Common National Curriculum Base (BNCC), in its three published versions, from the initial version, in 2015, to the 2017 version, currently in the approval process. Final. For this analysis we consider as a theoretical framework the approach of the policy cycle proposed by Stephen Ball and his collaborators, considered by several researchers in Brazil. Based on the main elements of this approach, we seek to analyze the Base documents focusing mainly on two contexts, the context of influence and the context of text production, as well as their interrelations permeated by permanences, reinterpretations and contradictions. We believe that the three versions considered here are within the same trend, the internationalization of educational policies, associated with regulatory processes based on indicators of quality in education worldwide. However, they present significant differences in relation to the way their pedagogical principles are presented, as well as their curricular structure proposals. As we will try to argue, the propositional core of the Base refers to the proposal for Education for Global Citizenship broadcast by UNESCO since 2012, which suggests the adoption of competencies in the constitution of global educational policies aimed at the development of global citizenship. Although it presents itself differently between the three versions, due to the interrelation between the context of influence and the context of text production, this purpose remains dominant in the final version, which explicitly adopts the principles of the ECG. We conclude by stating the relevance of this theoretical contribution to the analysis of the BNCC and indicating that, when approved, The Base will certainly be repositioned by the various curricular agents in question within the context of the practice.
