Forward or backward? Experiences of the João XXIII Application College to organize the Training Itineraries for the New High School

Abstract

Law 13,415 (Brasil, 2017) proposes changes in Secondary Education, which include greater flexibility in the subjects and content offered in the Training Itineraries. After its implementation, education networks had to rethink their curricular proposals, to be aligned with the National Common Curricular Base. In this context, a study was carried out to understand the implementation paths of the Training Itineraries, in the years 2022 and 2023, at the Colégio de Aplicação João XXIII of the Federal University of Juiz de For a. Initially, a bibliographical survey was carried out on the educational reforms that took place between 2017 and 2023. Subsequently, the profile of the College was outlined and an attempt was made to identify the process of structuring the Itineraries. The data showed that the school institution’s experience with modules, used before the secondary education reform, was of great help. Furthermore, maintaining the workload of subjects and content enabled students to access systematized knowledge. Given these effects, the importance of developing other research on school curricula is highlighted, as a way of disseminating and sharing proposls that favor the individual’s comprehensive education.
