A efetividade do direito à educação na implementação do aprendizado por competência

Abstract

This academic paper analyzes competency education as a model that can be adopted in contemporary society for the effective realization of the right to education. A theoretical research with a relevant legal-dogmatic aspect was carried out in order to conceptualize the term and analyze its worldwide use focusing on the history of Brazil and, above all, in the Brazilian educational sphere. It is clear that the right to education is a fundamental right expressly provided for in the Federal Constitution of 1988 and that, due to its relevance and complexity, triggered its regulation in several normative documents. These include the National Education Guidelines and Bases Law (LDB), the National Education Plan (PNE) and the Common National Curriculum Base (BNCC). In the latter, competence education is the core of the document and positioned as fundamental to the teaching-learning process. Education, as seen in the Federal Constitution and the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education, has three essential purposes, namely the full development of the person, their preparation for the exercise of citizenship and their qualification for work. To achieve these ends, however, the educational system must function according to constitutional principles and be backed by a common basic curriculum. Thus, according to the BNCC, in a coherent and well-grounded way, basic education should focus on skills development.
