These article observes how comics are approached in the National Common Curricular Base. The hypothesis is that the interpretation about comics is open to questions. Thus, all references to the different genres presented in the document are identified and, from them, possible aspects are pointed to be criticized, from the point of view of studies about comics developed in the country and which support this analysis. The corpus is composed of the BNCC text. Approved in December 2017, it has the proposal to standardize primary education throughout Brazil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to discuss two concepts related to Evaluation — to evaluate and to examine —, from the exploratory analysis of comics. While evaluating is linked to monitoring and mediation actions and is committed to learning, the concept of examining refers to specific acts of verification and verification of “truths” in terms of learning. This textual genre works as satires to events and allows a critical analysis of themes, situations, and everyday events. Thus, from an exploratory research, we list some comics with the characters Armandinho and Mafalda, in order to analyze the prevalence of the act of evaluating or examining, associated with elements such as selection, measurement, training, repetition, memorization, school grades, value judgments, process and evaluation criteria. In summary, it was possible to conclude that the analysis of the Evaluation, from comics, contributes to: invite educators to reflect on the possible changes in the evaluation act, in order to avoid the repetition of traditional Evaluation practices focused on exams, notes and results; “prove” some examining practices; tense the evaluative act as a magnifying glass over the practice itself, shedding light on the possibility of learning the Assessment. The comics have the potential for discussion, problematization, confrontation and criticism of a reality and can be used with different audiences and purposes, including to discuss concepts, build concepts and promote the learning of Evaluation.
