SANTOS, Julio Sergio dos  y  CORTELAZZO, Ângelo Luiz. Os conteúdos de biologia celular no exame nacional do ensino médio- ENEM. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2013, vol.18, n.03, pp.591-612. ISSN 1414-4077.

The Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM) has become extremely important to evaluate high school graduates. This is because it is used to select students for college and it evaluates their skills and competencies acquired in high school. We analyzed the formulation of questions, as well as the skills assessed in this exam. We observed that, out of the sample of 900 questions of several subjects, 35 included cell biology content. Some questions were associated with other high school subjects or could require a stronger content specific memorization. However, most questions emphasized problem solving associated with biological phenomena. This type of emphasis on problem solving questions is not recurrent in most high schools, as students are usually encouraged to memorize extensive content.

Palabras clave : Cell Biology; Evaluate; Learning; Skills.
