A Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC): onde está o lazer?

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze how leisure is treated in the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), considered here as a strategic device of go-vernance, in the context of early childhood education and elementary education. We seek to identify in which areas leisure is cited; to detect in what way these areas approach the theme and to analyze which approach is given to leisure in the three versions of the document. The study used the combination of bibliographical and documentary research, with the help of the content analysis technique. As a conclusion we have identified that the word leisure appears in all three versions of the BNCC and is quoted eleven times in the first version, twenty-seven times in the second and fifteen times in the third. The term leisure is cited in the specific texts of different areas of knowledge, such as geography, physical education, art and history, which may indicate the multidisciplinary aspectthat the term also assumes within the school context. Finally, we indicate that leisure establishes relationships with ele-ments related to body culture, sports, technologies, artistic and cultural plurality, and health.
