MARINIAK, Mikaelly Rafaela  and  HILGER, Thaís Rafaela. The BNCC's energy: an essay related to elementary school and high school. Rev. enseñ. fís. [online]. 2021, vol.33, n.1, pp.81-90. ISSN 0326-7091.

Energy is an undefined quantity with an undeniable conceptual and technological importance. However, the literature indicates that the manner it is approached in Brazilian Basic Education is scant, favoring the construction and conservation of alternatives conceptions about the concept. Besides, it hinders to understand that energy is present in all Physics concepts and has an inter-disciplinary character and inseparable from its transformation and conservation. Therefore, the aim of this essay is to investigate how the Brazilian Common Curricular Base addresses this physical quantity. This document was chosen because it is the current guiding document for Brazilian basic education. Thus, were analyzed the skills referent to energy in the initial and final years of Elementary School (EE) and in the High School (HS). Thereby, it was concluded in this paper that the treatment given to the concept is insufficient, insofar as are problems in the skills from the early years of EE until the HS. The epistemological nature of the concept is not considered by the document analyzed and the dependence between the concept of energy and its conservation is not respected. This essay intends to warn about the adequacy of the document that guides Science / Physics teaching to its concepts. So, although the Brazilian Common Curricular Base proposes an educational reform, at least regarding the concept investi-gated, will be maintained the difficulties already reported by the literature.

Keywords : Brazilian basic education; Brazilian common curricular base; Physics teaching.
