ROCHA, Helenice Aparecida Bastos  and  MAGALHAES, Marcelo de Souza. Discussing the Brazilian high school: curriculum integration and teacher training. Perspectiva [online]. 2014, vol.32, n.2, pp.453-473. ISSN 2175-795X.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-795X.2014v32n2p453.

This article analyses the proposals to redesign high-school education in Brazil. It addresses the curricular integration proposal as an issue in the process of implementing a new high-school education. Curricular integration has been pursued since the first documents of high school organization were written in the 1990's - guidelines, opinions, and the LDB (National Education Guidelines and Foundations) itself - until reaching the new National High School Curricular Guidelines, enforced in 2012. This article describes the process of building an integrated curriculum as a goal and the main concepts that support this integration. The curricular integration desired, as well as its foundations, would require changes in the initial and continuing education of teachers such as structural changes in time and space at school and for teachers. It would also require a consistent and critical reflection upon this set of ideas in teacher-training institutions in order to design new courses for teachers.

Keywords : High School; Interdisciplinarity; Teacher Training.
