Análise das questões de biologia do ENEM (1998 - 2022) e as implicações do seu protagonismo no ensino de ciências biológicas

Abstract

Since the beginning of the history of Brazilian education, the challenge of establishing educational public policies that effectively implement an evaluation method has been evident. With this in mind, the ENEM was created with the purpose of evaluating and pointing out possible solutions for the various deficiencies observed in basic school education. Given the importance given to this evaluation process, this work aims to analyze the biology questions present in the exam from 1998 to 2022, considering the reflexes presented in science teaching due to the protagonism of ENEM. For this, it was necessary to compartmentalize and categorize 439 questions in their respective themes and subthemes of the biological context, also observing the presence or absence of contextualization, interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity; these being the guiding principles of ENEM. That said, it was found that the most frequent theme during the ENEM was ecology (30.80%) with the most relevant sub-theme "disharmonious relationships and human impact" (22.78%). On the other hand, the theme with less frequency was botany (2.44%), with the sub-theme “angiosperm” with greater evidence. Contextualization results reflect an inversely proportional condition with the visual elements, that is, the more visual information, the lower the contextualization. Interdisciplinarity presented an average of 21.31%, while multidisciplinary corresponds to 17.42%. Based on qualitative results, it was found that the exam underwent constant structural changes influenced by the social, economic and political context. In terms of education, it becomes a major curricular driver in science teaching, even if it is outdated when compared to BNCC. Still, when observed about the evaluative category, a neo-traditionalist bias was found, opposing the Ministry of Education, when claiming to be a constructivist test.
