Perspectivas para o ensino da sociologia no Brasil: uma análise do novo ensino médio (NEM)

Abstract

This work consists of a bibliographic/documentary analysis on the teaching of Sociology in Brazil, based on the guidelines of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), and the New Secondary Education (NEM). The problematization of this analysis is based on the changes in the New High School curriculum. Following this investigative path, the study seeks to understand the place of sociology in the legislation that makes it mandatory and/or optional in the High School curriculum, as well as the conditions for its exercise in a reflective and critical manner. The objective of this work, therefore, is interpreted as the dimensions of reflexivity and criticality are present in the current legislation that guides the teaching of Sociology. The research is organized into two central axes: a) survey of the history of Sociology teaching in Brazil, arriving at the propositions of the BNCC (National Common Curricular Base), and the High School Reform of 2017 (Law nº 13,415/2017); and b) analysis of matrices A, B and C, which are matrices prepared by the State Department of Education of Santa Catarina to be innovations in schools. Throughout the chapters of the research it shows that the discipline of Sociology will be present in the New High School Curriculum, in the large area called: Applied Human and Social Sciences. The main uncertainty is about the number of classes and the conditions for studying the core contents of Sociology, since they become part of the elective subjects and in-depth courses that make up the Training Itineraries of state curricula. In the final considerations, the research highlights that Sociology faced and still faces adversities in its permanence in the High School curriculum, the discipline goes through constant periods of struggles. This work contributed to the perception that, based on the analysis of matrices A, B and C, that in any of the matrices Sociology classes and/or content could be reduced, and also that the provision of Sociology content in Elective subjects in the area of ​​human sciences depend on the students' choice, this choice will always be guided by the school management, according to the structural availability of the school and also of teachers.
