A unidade temática vida e evolução nos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental: a percepção dos estagiários da Licenciatura em Biologia da UFRB

Abstract

The National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) is a normative document of public education policy, mandatory in school curricula throughout Brazil, where students must develop a set of essential learning throughout their education. The document guides the structure of the curricular components of Basic Education in its different stages. In view of this, this research aims to identify the perceptions of students of the Bachelor's Degree in Biology at UFRB with the Implementation of the Common Curricular Base (BNCC) when working with the thematic unit “Life and Evolution” in the final years of Elementary School. To achieve this purpose, it became essential to approach prominent theorists, aiming to support the categories explored in this research, such as: Krasilchik (1987), Bizzo (2009), Pimenta and Lima (2011), Zabalza (2014), Gatti (2010), Buriolla (2011), among others. The research was based on a qualitative approach, which used a semi-structured questionnaire as the main data collection instrument, which was applied to thirteen (13) students of the Supervised Internship II component of the Federal University of Recôncavo da Bahia (UFRB). The data were interpreted through Bardin's content analysis (2011) and discussed in light of the theoretical framework. The results found at the end of the investigation indicate that despite understanding the BNCC, the students have difficulties in teaching the contents of the Life and Evolution thematic unit in the classroom. Through their responses, they pointed out that: the document is complex, does not have an adequacy to the reality in which it is inserted and lacks greater qualification in its formative process. At the end of the study, we hope to have contributed with valuable insights and data to the issue of the education of students of the Bachelor's Degree in Biology.
