SANTOS, TACIANA BRASIL DOS. RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN THE NATIONAL COMMON CURRICULAR BASE: SOME CONSIDERATIONS. Educ. rev. [online]. 2021, vol.37, e20016.  Epub June 05, 2021. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-469820016.

This article discusses Religious Education at the National Curriculum Common Base (BNCC), a resulting document from public education policies in Brazil´s period of redemocratization. In accordance with the provisions of the Federal Constitution of 1988, education must form citizens capable of living in a democratic society. However, historically, Religious Education has always been linked to confessional and political interests. Even so, it was included in the BNCC. Through documentary research, we sought to understand the process of building this document, the changes undergone by the Religious Education proposal throughout this process, and the skills and abilities that the student has to develop through the subject. We concluded that the inclusion in the BNCC is a possibility of epistemological development of Religious Education never before experienced. The democratic process of building the BNCC gave it greater legitimacy, and the curricular choices suit it to the goals for education in a democratic and citizen society.

Keywords : Religious Education; National Common Curricular Base; Skills; Abilities.
