ENEM, TEMAS ESTRUTURADORES E CONCEITOS UNIFICADORES NO ENSINO DE FÍSICA
Abstract
The adoption of the National Standard Exam of Middle School (ENEM) by Public Universities has been reconfiguring public policies of access and permanence in High Education. For the teaching of Physics, it enhances the discussion of the knowledge of this subject. In this paper, we investigate the items of evaluation of Natural Sciences and Their Technologies related to Physics in the editions of ENEM from 2009 to 2012. The contextualization is presented in aspects of daily life and science-technology pair. The themes “heat, environment and uses of energy” and “electrical devices and telecommunications”, though losing space for the theme “movement, variation, conservation”, where the highlighted key aspects for interdisciplinary and contextualization with focus on a conceptual-unifying approach. In the analysis, we emphasize on essential aspects for interdisciplinary and contextualized work for school, as recommended by the board for national-standard exams.
