RIBEIRO, Larissa Oliveira Mesquita  e  RIBEIRO, Willame de Oliveira. Science of Space without Space: Geography discipline and High School reform in Brazil. Educ. Puc. [online]. 2020, vol.25, e204541.  Epub 09-Jan-2020. ISSN 2318-0870.  https://doi.org/10.24220/2318-0870v25e2020a4541.

The objective of this article is to analyze the impact of High School reform on the geography discipline and its reach in the Brazilian society. The methodological procedures used are based on bibliography and documents, highlighting a review of the Education Guidelines and Base law (Law n.9.394, dated December 20, 1996 and Law n.13.415, dated February 16, 2017) that ruled on the High School reform. The outcome of this investigation emphasizes that the geography discipline composed the curricular structure of basic education in Brazil, even before the development of scientific geography, with strong articulation with elitist and government interests, which will not occur any more in the framework of the High School reform. The reform fosters a disruption of this subject in basic education, representing a clear disagreement between elitist power and the pathways taken by this discipline in recent years. The implications of this reform in relation to the geography discipline include, among other consequences, losses in education aimed at the construction of a complex social subject active in the professional set up and also in other spheres of social life.
