Movement for the Base campaign raises awareness among parents and teachers about the impacts of post-pandemic learning gaps.
It is estimated that aps apandemic, the impact of learning gaps on children and young people will last 10 years of school life. This means that an elementary school student who did not learn fractions or division will continue with this gap until high school and consequently until their professional life. Furthermore, these lags will have effects on the next five editions of the SAEB (Basic Education Assessment System) until 2031. Therefore, theMovement for the Base presents the Recomposing the Future campaign, developed to raise awareness among educators, parents and guardians about the recomposition of learning, the urgency of implementing it and how schools can ensure that all children and young people can exercise a basic right: to learn! At the appropriate time, age and educational stage. Historically, Brazilian students advance through the grades without learning the fundamentals, and this impacts their entire development. The process of recomposing learning seeks to reverse this situation, diagnosing what was lost and outlining an action plan so that essential content is consolidated.
A good recomposition policy must have three fundamental pillars: constant diagnostic assessments that are not necessarily tests or exams, curricular prioritization of what the student actually needs to learn and pedagogical interventions that are the actual actions that can range from tutorials, classes after-school hours until students are reorganized by gap level, explains Movimento pela Base’s articulation manager, Joo Cpa.
Designed for digital, the campaign has a light and didactic tone to explain in a simple way what the theme is. The Movimento pela Base social networks will feature content over the next few months on the topic. The campaign also includes a motion video signed by Story Agência de Comunicação in conjunction with the agencyEcommunicate. The piece features the mascot of the Movimento pela Base, the owl Professor Llia, inspired by the educator and activist Llia Gonzalez.
In a fun and objective way, Llia explains what recomposition is and how important it is so that children can recover all the knowledge they did not have access to during the period of school closures during the pandemic caused by the coronavirus.
Llia is a way for us to pay homage to one of the greatest black activists in the country, in addition to talking about a complex topic in a simple way for parents, guardians and teachers, says Samira Martins, Communications and Engagement Manager at Movimento pela Base.
It is expected that the strong impacts of the pandemic will also be reflected in the 2023 SAEB. To illustrate the seriousness of the situation, information from the 2019 SAEB indicated that only 34% of third-year high school students reached a satisfactory level in Portuguese, while mere 7% reached this same level in Mathematics. In 2021, the rates fell to 31% and 5%, respectively.
As for 5th year students, the data revealed that in 2019 only 57% of 5th year elementary school students had an adequate level in Portuguese, while only 47% reached this level in Mathematics. During the 2021 SAEB, the number of students in this range with adequate knowledge in Portuguese fell to 51% and in Mathematics, to 37%.
It is extremely important for Brazilian society that all essential content for student training is fully consolidated. The creation of a national policy for recomposition is a premise so that we can advance in quality in national education and leave no one behind. based on the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) we hope that teachers can identify gaps in students’ knowledge and carry out restoration, comments Cpa.
The BNCC is the nationally agreed document that indicates what knowledge and skills are essential for the child or young person to acquire in order to have full academic and civic development, so that every student, regardless of which education network they are in, can have access to the same knowledge. Based on this policy, educators have a compass in hand to identify which skills and knowledge are fundamental for each year, stage and school age of students and thus, formulate their curriculum and apply it in the classroom according to their needs.
