Dossier presentation: Which curriculum is the BNCC?

Abstract

This dossier constitutes a convergence of works focused on the discussion of the National Common Curricular Base - BNCC, understanding it as a set of devices that seeks, through strong prescription, to materialize a homogenizing project for Brazilian education. Among the privileged focuses here is the opportunity to think about articulations that support the BNCC, its relations with other policies, such as teacher training, production of didactic materials, evaluation, as well as the participation of capital agents, which are are based on the premise of homogeneity as a means for equity and economic development. In this sense, the dossier invites invitations to broad conversations about contributions that are attentive to political articulations associated with agendas committed to the dissemination of ethical and moral values, of a certain standard of subject, of labor dedicated to meeting the demands of the world of work. Among the works, we also highlight those that understand that movements in favor of increasing curricular control are not configured as social equity actions and, even less, as democratic political decisions.
