A PROPOSAL FOR ANALYZING CHEMISTRY ISSUES AT ENADE ACCORDING TO THE COGNITIVE LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY. This article aims to present an analysis of the ENADE-Chemistry exam using a taxonomy based on the cognitive operations mobilized to solve the chemistry issues here called as Cognitive Level of Difficulty. In addition to identifying contents in the area of knowledge, skills and competences. All questions from the exams of the years 2011, 2014 and 2017 were analyzed; selected the statistical data present on the reports issued by INEP for four higher-educational institutions (UFRN, UTFPR, UFU and UFAM) and the percentages of the distractors indicated. These data were organized in an excel spreadsheet (database) that helped the comparisons of different variables. As a result, we observed discrepancies when comparing the variables of the ease index and the cognitive level of difficulty for the questions that addressed general chemistry concepts. For example, issues considered very difficult in the easiness rating, but which required low order thinking skills and reciprocally. We consider the proposed taxonomy of analysis of cognitive operations and the database is a tool that can contribute to their courses structure. Furthermore, the proposal can be extended to other areas.
