This work consists of analyzing and discussing some aspects that are implicit in the Common Base National Curriculum - BNCC, which was approved by the National Education Council and approved by the MEC, initially in the year 2017 with early childhood education and, later, in 2018, high school. Based on a bibliographic and documentary research, it was possible to identify that the BNCC, when approved and ratified on different dates when related to the teaching stages, members of basic education, demonstrated to have a certain fragmentation, opposing the critical conception of rights, objectives of learning and development, as provided for by law. It is concluded, therefore, that the implications implicit in this official document, dated and published in the context of a political-ideological, economic and social crisis, consequently have been unfolding and strengthening the precariousness and the dismantling of Brazilian education, requiring a wide opening of debates and discussions for new possibilities of changes in the structure and current conjuncture of the country.

Resumo: Este artigo é referente à uma análise documental sobre políticas curriculares para o Ensino Médio, após a promulgação da Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDB/96). Entre os objetivos, destaca-se a análise das três versões da Base Nacional Comum Curricular para o Ensino Médio, buscando discutir os princípios desta política curricular para a área de Ciências da Natureza, as aproximações e os distanciamentos nas diferentes edições do documento, considerando o cenário brasileiro e o modo como grupos e agendas financiam e promovem reformas educacionais no contexto da prática docente. A partir da busca em sites governamentais e de agências privadas, procedeu-se a análise dos documentos empíricos com base na Abordagem do Ciclo de Políticas, referencial metodológico-analítico que leva em consideração os contextos de influência, produção de texto e da prática. Para tal, focalizamos as análises nos contextos de influência e de produção de texto, mostrando que as políticas curriculares são efeitos e resultados de lutas e disputas de poder em contexto. Como resultado, foi observado que a construção das proposições e princípios curriculares sofrem influências de múltiplas agendas nacionais e internacionais. Além disso evidencia-se as relações híbridas de cunho global com proposições e princípios pedagógicos que fundamentam o pensamento neoliberal de superação, de autonomia e de competitividade entre os sujeitos, com temáticas que fragilizam a integração curricular entre os componentes curriculares na área de Ciências da Natureza, ao mitigar possibilidades com outras áreas pelo caráter disciplinar como vem sendo apresentada a política de reforma curricular pela BNCC.Palavras-chave: Reformas curriculares.

Among the objectives, we highlight the analysis of the three versions of the National Curriculum Common Core for High School seeking to discuss the principles of this curricular policy for the area of Natural Sciences, approaches and distances in different editions of the document, considering the Brazilian scenario and the way as groups and agendas finance and promote educational reforms in the context of teaching practice. From the search of government websites and private agencies, we analyzed the empirical documents based on the policy cycle approach a methodological-analytical framework that considers the contexts of influence, production of policy text and practice. For this, we focus the analyzes in the contexts of influence and context of policy text production, showing that curricular policies are effects and results of power struggles and disputes in context. As a result, it was observed that the construction of curricular propositions and principles are influenced by multiple national and international agendas. In addition, it is evidencing hybrid relationships of a global nature with pedagogical propositions and principles that support neoliberal thinking about self-improvement, autonomy, and competitiveness among the subjects with thematic aspects that weaken the curricular integration between the curricular components in the area of Natural Sciences, by mitigating possibilities with other areas for the disciplinary character as BNCC curriculum reform policy has been presented.Keywords: Curricular reforms.
