A IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DO CURRÍCULO DE ENSINO RELIGIOSO: UM ESTUDO A PARTIR DAS DIRETRIZES DA BASE NACIONAL COMUM CURRICULAR (BNCC)

Abstract

The study aimed to analyze the Religious Education curriculum in the official documents of the municipal education network of Vila Velha, in the state of Espírito Santo, in Brazil, in Elementary Education, considering the BNCC. Having as a research problem: how has the municipal education network of Vila Velha-ES been implementing the Religious Education curriculum based on the guidelines of the National Common Curricular Base? It is worth mentioning that Religious Education is considered a discipline throughout the history of Brazil and Brazilian education by the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education, with mandatory provision, but optional for the student; it underwent several changes in the epistemological field along the way, including the catechetical, theological and Science of Religions model. In the present study it is observed that there is social and political importance of the concept of curriculum, as it is not neutral, it must be intentional and equate knowledge, skills, and cultural production of humanity; being able to overcome classifications and hierarchies in learning inequalities. ER is part of this discussion, considering that religion is discourse and practice, through religiosity, both individual and collective. For this study, exploratory research and documentary and bibliographic research techniques were used as scientific methodology. As a result, the following propositions are presented: updating the legislation, as ER ceases to be an area of knowledge and becomes part of a curricular component in Human Sciences; the adherence to the teaching methodology of Sciences of Religions for ER, in elementary school.
