Survey and analysis of the science, technology and society approach in ENEM biology issues from 2009 to 2014

Abstract

In 2009, the new ENEM emerges and is one of the main evaluations in the Brazilian education scenario and is viewed as a regulator of the quality of basic education. The ENEM's official documents show that this examination is based on the concepts of skills and abilities, emphasizing, among other things, interdisciplinarity, contextualization and problems-situations. Therefore, the theoretical conception of ENEM aggress with a Science-Technology-Society approach (STS), which is essential for the formation of an active and participatory citizen. In this work we identify, categorize and analyze the STS approach expressed in ENEM Biology questions from 2009 to 2014. Following the methodology of Bardin, the questions were classified and analyzed. Although we conclude that the ENEM represents a breakthrough in relation to the traditional exam, additional modifications are still necessary so that its questions get closer to a STS approach.
