ABSTRACT
The debate on the inclusion of aspects associated with the pandemic in the General Training component of 2021 ENADE (National Performance Exam) tests is justified because this topic is not listed as a possibility from the base of standard items for all courses. In this sense, it is understood that the inclusion of topics associated with the pandemic of the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 in the General Training component of ENADE 2021 tests is an essential indicator of the topics perceived as relevant by the Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anisio Teixeira (INEP), the institution responsible for preparing ENADE tests. We propose that the presence of this content is perceived as a resistance movement by the academic community to the negationist environment that permeated the areas of Education, Health, and Science in Brazil.
