ANÁLISE CRÍTICA DAS COMPETÊNCIAS DE CIÊNCIAS DA NATUREZA E MATEMÁTICA, PROPOSTAS NA BNCC COMO POSSIBILIDADE DO TRABALHO INTERDISCIPLINAR

Abstract

In today's world, knowledge of mathematics and natural sciences is no longer optional. The connection between mathematics and natural sciences goes beyond school walls, and their integration is essential for the formation of individuals capable of facing the 21st century. It is necessary to develop pedagogical practices that can allow the articulation of different areas, aiming for interdisciplinarity. This work presents an analysis of the BNCC (Base Nacional Comum Curricular), with the general objective of recognizing intersections between general competencies and the specific competencies of mathematics and natural sciences at the fundamental level, in order to identify competencies that stimulate interdisciplinarity between the mentioned areas. The adopted methodology was based on a qualitative approach of document analysis, complemented by interpretative synthesis. The analysis of the identified competencies showed consistency in seven of them, highlighting converging objectives that provide the basis for the proposal of strategies to promote interdisciplinary integration. The seven combined competencies (identified) are: (1) logical-mathematical reasoning, (2) critical and creative thinking, (3) investigative capacity, (4) mathematical modeling of scientific phenomena, (5) analysis, interpretation, representation, and visualization of scientific data, (6) systemic thinking, and (7) ethical responsibility and teamwork. Interdisciplinarity can be a way to reduce efforts in developing educational practices. As one seeks an interdisciplinary competency like those listed in this work, one simultaneously aims to achieve both general and specific competencies from which they are derived. We believe that these interdisciplinary competencies are flexible and adaptable, allowing them to be applied in different contexts. Thus, the educator can seek the progressive development of the student, building new skills on top of previous ones.
