SUMMARY:

The present study addresses the implementation of the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (National Learning Standards) in public schools in the Federal District (Brazil) – based on the policy cycle approach proposed by Stephen Ball and colleagues – and is structured in two parts: one theoretical and normative-legal and the other empirical. In the first part, the theoretical framework that underpins the construction of the thesis is presented, introducing concepts, definitions, and conceptual discussions about the role of teachers and school leadership in the context of implementing educational changes, especially regarding the perception of the proposed change, sense-making, and decision-making by teachers. Following this, the historical and current context of curriculum policy in Brazil is presented, encompassing the process of constructing the National Common Curricular Base until the moment the curricular document is approved by the Ministry of Education of Brazil. In the second part, the results are presented. For this research, we interviewed 37 teachers from the 1st and 2nd grades of elementary school and 13 managers with a leadership role (principals, coordinators, and pedagogical supervisors) from the public school system of the Federal District. In addition to semi-structured interviews, we administered survey to both managers and teachers. The main conclusions were as follows: (i) interviewees have a positive perception of BNCC and believe that it will bring improvements to Brazilian public education. However, some interviewees suggest that the BNCC is more relevant in states that did not have a previous curriculum and demonstrate a preference for the Currículo em Movimento of the Federal District; (ii) group meetings offer teachers an opportunity for collective sense-making of educational reforms; (iii) regarding decision-making, the main components of teachers' decision-making process are the public curriculum and discussions with colleagues; (iv) although interviewees pointed out that BNCC has led to changes in textbooks, the use of orality in literacy, and socio-emotional skills, none specified a concrete change resulted from the Base in their teaching practice or in the dynamics of the schools; (v) managers and teachers believe that professional development, community participation, and the availability of adapted teaching material are key factors influencing the implementation of the BNCC in schools in the Federal District. The results indicate that the implementation of the Base in the Federal District occurred partially and did not succeed in generating significant changes in the school reality
