VIEIRA, Jarbas Santos  and  FEIJO, José Roberto de Oliveira. The National Curricular Common Base and knowledge as a commodity. Educação. UNISINOS [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.1, pp.35-43. ISSN 2177-6210.  https://doi.org/10.4013/edu.2018.221.04.

This article problematizes the epistemological dimension that underpins the proposal of the National Curriculum Standard. In doing so, it discusses the conceptions of competences and knowledge that are presented in MEC’s document exploring the concept of knowledge economy as the matrix of the curricular proposal. This makes possible to structure and understand the curricular conception that one wishes to implant in Brazilian schools. The conclusion was that every discursive apparatus of the right to education does nothing more than constitute competitiveness as the foundation of education. The impoverishment of knowledge, reduced to mere competence, does not operate for qualified life by culture, but for economic productivism, since an entire ethical and aesthetic dimension is neglected in the educational process.

Keywords : Curriculum; National Curricular Common Base; Knowledge Economy; Epistemology.
