Question

Explain current evaluation procedure in school curriculum.

Answer 1

Answer:

The current basic education1 policies are the heirs of the curriculum reforms of the 1990s. They have maintained the national curricular benchmarks and parameters for basic education and the principles upon which they are founded, and more recent curricular guidelines have largely taken them for references. As with the educational reforms carried out in the 1980s and 1990s in several northern hemisphere and Latin American countries, the concept of the curriculum adopted by the Brazilian educational system has come to understand basic education as a continuum governed by the same educational principles.

Keeping pace with changes in the new world order, curriculum guidelines help promote the U-turn in educational policies that enables a change in the axis from policies for equality that are intended for everyone indiscriminately - characteristic of the periods of expansion in education systems and universal access within compulsory schooling, to equity policies which attend specific groups. Although the curriculum is made up of areas of specific subject knowledge, it is guided by the interdisciplinary and cross-cutting nature of knowledge and by the need to contextualize it, by the notion of skill or competence, and by an emphasis on diversity.

Acknowledging that there are burning issues in society about which there is no systematized organization of knowledge, such as in traditional school subjects, but which the curriculum cannot ignore, cross-cutting issues are also introduced into it. And thus, in the national context, a space is created within the education systems to address matters such as cultural diversity, gender and sexuality, and the environment, which leads to studies being carried out, and materials being produced for use in basic education about these matters, and to the promotion of teacher training courses.
