A ATIVIDADE FILOSÓFICA NO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL – ANOS FINAIS: possibilidades constantes na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC)

Abstract

The National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), a document that guides public education in Brazil, does not provide for the mandatory subject of philosophy for the final years of elementary school. However, BNCC registers several skills that it wishes to instill, develop or improve in students. Among them I mention: reflection; critical sense; democratic participation; the questioning attitude; civic ethics, among others. At BNCC, the essential learning necessary for students during their academic career in the years of Basic Education, understood here as primary and secondary education, is defined. The teaching proposal present at BNCC, alternating the focus on the transmission of ready-made content for the development of skills and acquisition of knowledge, finds resonance in philosophical practice. The discipline of philosophy, as a privileged and natural space for the development of philosophical activity, shows its relevance in meeting a considerable range of proposed objectives and the development of skills contained in the BNCC.
