A Base Nacional Comum Curricular e a produção de práticas pedagógicas para a geografia escolar: desdobramentos na formação docente

Abstract

This paper originated as a ramification from a discussion panel held in August of 2019 as part of the 14th National Meeting of Geography Education Practices (14º Encontro Nacional de Prática de Ensino em Geografia, ENPEG), at UNICAMP, Campinas, Brazil, and was developed as an essay that articulates debates in the field of Curriculum and of the framework of Pedagogical Content Knowledge with the propositions contained in the Brazilian Common Core Standards (Base Nacional Comum Curricular de Geografia, BNCC) for Geography during elementary and middle education in Brazil. This work aims to ignite a conversation about the challenges brought about by the current BNCC proposition for Geography teacher’s geographic knowledge, their training – initial and continuing – and the organization of their educational practices based on the curricula built under the BNCC. I will seek to point out an alternative understanding of the BNCC that could subsidize the teachers of basic education level. Regarding teacher’s training, I will limit myself to commenting on the limits of the current curricula for the Geography Education degrees and the possibilities I see in the BNCC.
