Ensino de química na escola do campo: análise de livros didáticos

Abstract

The term everyday applies to express the everyday situations of everyday life, that is, what is present in our experience. In the school context, a pedagogical practice based on the use of everyday facts to teach scientific contents, can characterize the same as an important tool, but having a secondary role, that is, it serves as a simple example or illustration to deepen scientific concepts. Although the textbook has great importance in teaching, it presents a standardized, organized format, which in many cases, does not contemplate the reality of the students who will use it. Having in mind the textbooks, language is one of the points that most need careful evaluation. The indiscriminate use of scientific terms, without distinguishing their meanings from the terms of ordinary language, may preclude the mastery of scientific knowledge. Even if the choice of book takes into account student needs, socio-cultural context, relationship between theory and practice, and appropriate language, there will still be a need to supplement certain content with extra material.
