Elaboração e validação de um instrumento de análise para livros didáticos de química do ensino médio

Abstract

This work investigates the following research problem: How the elaboration and validation of an analysis instrument for high school chemistry textbooks can contribute to the evaluation of the process of promoting scientific literacy. In this attempt, a discussion about the elaboration and validation of an analysis instrument for high school chemistry textbooks was outlined in a general way. Specifically, the objective was: 1) To evaluate the potential of the didactic book in the promotion of scientific literacy based on the indicative parameters of scientific Literacy proposed for the analysis of the chapters that lecture on colligative properties; 2) Report the historical perspective of the didactic works and the National textbook program; 3) To elaborate a questionnaire support for the validation of the evaluation instruments proposed for the analysis of textbooks. In a concise way, the study consists of a partial reading of the most distributed works at the national level in PNLD 2018, in order to identify the potential of textbooks referring to the indicative parameters of scientific literacy and from then on create an educational product that enables the choice of textbooks and thus facilitate the didactic practice of the teacher of basic education, improving the process of teaching learning. This work was developed in 7 chapters: In chapter 1 we describe the relevant scenarios for the research. In the second chapter a brief retrospective on the history and evolution of the didactic books is made, as well as a discussion about the A and its conceptual polysemy. Chapter 3 describes the methodological path covered, the fourth clarifies the process of validation of the instruments of analysis. In the fifth chapter we will take a retrospective of the indicators proposed by Pizzaro (2014) and in the sixth we will point out the idea of specific indicators for the analysis of the textbook. Finally, we will ratify the final considerations about the present work.
