Abstract:
In investigating the profile of natural sciences New Enem questions have an essential role in understand the teaching of this subject in the classroom, considering the importance given to the exam during the planning of teaching. By using categorical content analysis, delimitated by PCN+ contents and PNLD textbooks, it was possible to categorize natural sciences New Enem questions presented between 2009 and 2014, according to the presence of Interdisciplinarity or Contextualization. It was possible to realize that, despite the official parameters, the exam is mainly disciplinary (contextual), even though there were questions which present an interdisciplinary character, they were not observed in the teachers' practice. In short, it is necessary to establish cohesion between what is taught and examined in the students' tests.
