O currículo de ensino religioso na BNCC: uma análise sob o viés da história das religiões e a práxis do docente de história.

Abstract

This study aims to present a political-pedagogical debate about Religious Education within the context of History teaching practices. The understanding of this issue will be deepened through the contribution of the History of Religions, based on the systematic approach of Müller's "Introduction to the Science of Religion" (2020) and the phenomenological approach of Eliade's "The Ordeal of the Labyrinth" (1991). This approach is also based on the analysis of educational normative sources such as the National Common Curricular Base, documents that structure the discipline of Religious Education. During the development of the work, we sought to understand how the BNCC document was developed, the changes that occurred in the Religious Education proposal over time, and its interfaces, such as competencies and skills, and with confessional interests in the field of Religious Education. From this perspective, a documentary research of the BNCC (Brazilian National Convention on Religious Education) and a brief analysis of the participation of the Permanent National Forum of Religious Education (FONAPER) in the debate and dispute over the form of curricularization of religious education were carried out, problematizing elements that can subsidize the debate on the topic and assist in the teaching praxis of history teachers in a critical way. The bibliographic set that will support the research methodology will be, in particular, studies in the field of the history of religions from authors such as Friedrich Müller (1823-1900), Eliade (1991), Otto (1974), and in the field of curriculum and history teaching, such as Bittencourt (2018), Prado; Silva Júnior (2014), Junqueira; Oliveira (1998). The contribution of these authors is made for a more qualified and wellfounded understanding, evidencing that religious education is not to be confused with the history of religions, and, therefore, a relationship of dependence or subordination should not be established between them.
