Abstract

It has been much discussed about quality education in the country, seeking to improve and highlight Brazilian education among the best. Then, an objective to be achieved besides the training of qualified professionals, it is also important that the resources available are of quality, becoming fundamental to advanced education. In this context, textbooks are for sure one of the most important fundamental resources, because in many schools, it is common for them to be the only material available for teacher’s support. Thus, the evaluation of textbooks are important to obtain and increase the qualified materials. As that said, this study aims to analyze the contents covered in Biology books of the 2nd year of High School. Among the books indicated by the National Textbook Plan of the Ministry of Education, three works were chosen (Contato Biologia, Biologia Moderna and Biologia Hoje), equivalent to the three-year period from 2018 to 2020, for the evaluation of 24 contents, and consequent descriptive analyzes in relation to approach to matters. Based on descriptive analyzes on approach of the authors of the chosen books, we created a correlation that points out the works that best approach the evaluated contents. Therefore, it is concluded that in the case of the elaboration of didactic material for his classes, the teacher can select the book that best addresses a certain theme, but if he has to indicate one of the works, the book “Biologia Hoje” was highlighted in a greater number of contents.
