Avaliação dos conteúdos de morfologia e taxonomia de microbiologia nos livros didáticos do ensino médio - PNLD 2018

Abstract

The textbook is part of the locus of Brazilian Education and is the most used and widespread pedagogical resource in the country's schools. Current research indicates, with the development of technologies, the textbook remains an essential pedagogical resource for students and teachers of the Public Education network as a means of teaching-learning practices. Because it is a didactic material that is used as the only source of knowledge, there is concern about the quality of this tool, however, the MEC (Ministry of Education), together with the National Textbook Program (PNLD), has been carrying out a careful pedagogical evaluation of the copies distributed in the public school system, however, it has been observed that the works present problems that may compromise student learning. In this sense it was necessary to develop researches that help the work carried out by PNLD. The aim of this study was to analyze the microbiology contents (taxonomy and morphology) of bacteria, fungi and viruses and verified how these contents have been approached in the textbooks of High School and if they are correlated with textbooks of Institutions of Higher Education (HEI). For this, we analyzed copies of didactic material approved by the PNLD 2018 and collected in secondary schools in the city of Cruz das Almas-BA.
