REVISITING THE MODERN AGE: CONTEMPORARY APPROACHES TO TEACHING HISTORY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE BNCC

ABORDAGENS CONTEMPORÂNEAS PARA O ENSINO DE HISTÓRIA NO CONTEXTO DA BNCC

Abstract

This article examines the approach to teaching Modern History in the classroom, with a focus on the new Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) in Brazil. The research, based on bibliographic analysis, explores the social, political, religious, cultural, and economic transformations of the Modern Age and discusses how these changes should be presented to students. The aim is to reflect on the essential elements of Modern History and propose methodologies that transcend the Eurocentric perspective, highlighting the importance of contextualization and cultural diversity. The results indicate that, despite the gaps and challenges presented by the BNCC, there is an opportunity to deconstruct the traditional quadripartite division of History and promote a more inclusive and critical education.
