THE INFLUENCE OF THE BNCC ON BRAZILIAN EDUCATION AND ITS IMPACT ON THE CURRICULUM AND EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENTS: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

The National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) is a guiding document that establishes the essential knowledge, competencies, and skills that all Brazilian students must develop throughout their journey in Basic Education in an equal and equitable manner, since Brazil is a continental country with great diversity.  The BNCC serves as a reference for the development of school curricula, ensuring equity and quality of education throughout the country. Internal assessment, in turn, should always take into account the context and learning conditions of students continuously throughout the school year. On the other hand, external assessment is a fundamental tool for verify the effectiveness of the educational system, but it identifies strengths and weaknesses that necessitate a redefinition of regulatory and assessment processes in the light of a State Policy with broad participation among federated entities and their autonomies. In this way, this present work will highlight some contradictions about assessments, especially external ones, in order to bring up relevant points that need to be improved so that they can contribute more significantly to the transformation of education, it will also address the main potential and challenges that the BNCC (National Common Core Curriculum) brings to the practical application of the curriculum by education professionals.
