BETWEEN THE PHILOSOPHICAL AXES: THE PHILOPHICAL COVERAGE OF THE IN THE BRAZILIAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL TEST (ENEM) IN TERMS OF THE COMPLEMENTARY GUIDELINES TO THE NATIONAL CURRICULAR PARAMETERS (PCN+)

Abstract

This article examines how the themes proposed for philosophy at the high school level by the Complementary Guidelines to the Brazilian National Curricular Parameters (Orientações Complementares aos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais were materialized in philosophy questions in Brazilian National High School Exam (Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio – Enem). By means of an analysis of the quantititative and qualitative coverage of the philosophy component of the exam through the years, this article illustrates some challenges and possibilities that the tests presents to the implementation of curriculum normatives. This discussion is particularly importante at this moment, when a new Enem is under construction, to adjust to the New High School Curriculum and the new National Common Core (BNCC), especially  considering the emphasis that these documents place on concepts such as integration, interdisciplinarity, and autonomy as means to overcome fragmentation, be it between forms of knowledge, between people, between theory and practice. To conclude, I present a few indications about how these reflections contribute to flag points of attention relative to the continuing presence of philosophy in the exam considering its imminent reformulation.
