Entre currículo e percepções: o caminho do processo de reestruturação curricular de Duque de Caxias/RJ

Abstract

This research reports the emergence of a public policy in Duque de Caxias/RJ, which entered the city's discussion agenda after the approval of the Base Nacional Comum Curricular – BNCC [Common Core Curriculum]. It expands the understandings about myself in an autobiographical perspective, from the point of view of those who have experienced two important roles in the process of developing the Curriculum Restructuring policy (the editor and the pedagogical advisor of a school in the school network), all the stages of the work developed. It is based on the work of William Pinar and his method currere (follow the path), enabling an encounter with the past in the present, to imagine the future. During this construction of the municipal curriculum, it was possible to identify the arenas of disputes, the negotiations inherent in the democratic debate, and the most relevant methodological points of this diligence, highlighting the valorization of knowledge brought by the experiences of education professionals as the main source of collective construction of the curriculum of an education system. As a conclusion, it seeks to contribute to the decontruction of the idea that equality and improvement of education will happen from the centralization of knowledge in general and prescriptive norms.
