Avaliação do conteúdo fungos em livros didáticos utilizados nas escolas públicas de ensino médio da cidade de Cruz das Almas - BA

Abstract

The textbook has been an official part of Brazilian education since 1937, with the creation of the Instituto Nacional do Livro. The textbook in some sessions is the only didactic resource available for teachers and students. Concerned with a quality of resource, the MEC, has been conducting a pedagogical evaluation in all works such as public schools. However, there are still inadequacies, such as, figures without scale, quality and veracity of the colors in the illustrations, content concocted, text with small font among other inadequacies. The present work had as objective to evaluate the approach of the fungi content in the textbooks used in the public schools Cruz das Almas, municipality Bahia. We analyzed four books of Biology of the 2° year, used by the National Program of the Secondary School, for the years 20182020. For the analysis, criteria were established that evaluated the visual resources, the content layout, the content about fungi, the content approach and the activities. The book 1 was the best ranked, because it enabled the student to have more autonomy to continue his studies, while the book 4 presented the most inadequacies. The results evidenced the need for more rigorous criteria for the analysis of the books, since all books evaluated presented inadequacies.
