A embriologia em livros didáticos de biologia do ensino médio

Abstract

The present work has the objective of analyzing the Embryology content present in the Biology textbooks recommended by the PNLEM 2007/2009, 2012 and 2015, in order to determine if they are in agreement with those suggested by the National Curricular Parameters of the area, how they are presented and the validity of its use in the teaching and learning process. This analysis takes place in three stages, according to the content analysis, following the ethical precepts of the research in Education: first, an exploratory reading looking for the chapters on Embryology; later, the classification of the contents according to the aforementioned parameters and criteria, followed by contextualization, using theoretical reference. It was possible to conclude that the editions that more adequately contemplate the national curricular parameters are L4, L6, L8, L9 and L10, with a significant evolution in the physical and visual quality of the book over time. The 2007 PNLD presented adequate, but compact content; the PNLD 2012 books are more complete than the 2007 books; while the PNLD 2015 books have the content addressed in an appropriate way, are more detailed and complete.
