Uma análise de física de partículas nos livros didáticos do PNLD 2018

Abstract

In the present work we tried to do an analysis of didactic books on the content of particle physics. Initially, we searched the history to understand the construction of the physical knowledge of this study area to date. Subsequently a theoretical contribution was made to understand what the standard model says, with its interactions and symmetries. Then, with the objective of comparing the analyzed material with that proposed by the guiding documents of basic education in Brazil, we studied the main documents [Laws of Education Guidelines and Bases (LDB), National Curriculum Plans (PCNs), Plan National Textbook (PNLD)], to find out what its guidelines are about modern physics and particle physics. After this bibliographic research, the textbooks were analyzed, using some books proposed by PNLD 2018, which were chosen by public institutions of cities near the city of Realeza, and this material should be used in the years of 2018, 2019, and 2020 that, from a previous survey of the choices, six collections were used for the analysis. It was sought to analyze whether the books discuss particle physics and how the discussion on the subject at the theoretical level, activities and illustrations.
