ARTS AND LITERATURE TEACHING TRANSPOSED TO ENEM QUESTIONS

ABSTRACT

This article examines six exam questions of arts and literature from the Languages, Codes and their Technologies Assessments of the Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio held in 2015 against the reference matrix, which defines the required set of skills and competencies for students, and serves to the preparation of the exam’s questions. We apply the methodology of rhetorical analysis of the discursive material (texts) referenced in the argumentation theory, consolidated in the new rhetoric movement. The exposure of argumentative schemes, which have a psychosocial character, allows to grasp the reasoning that influence the choices of plausible answers to the exam questions. The analysis result indicates the limits of this type of exam to the fields of arts and literature.
