Avaliação dos conteúdos sobre biodiversidade e ecossistemas marinhos nos livros didáticos do 7º e 8º ano da rede de ensino público de João Pessoa-PB

Abstract

Considering the importance of textbooks as the main didactic tool in the classroom and marine environments as crucial for the survival of several species of organisms, this work focused on analyzing the contents and exercises related to marine ecosystems and their biodiversity in the 7th and 8th grade textbooks from the collections Araribá Mais Ciências and Inovar Ciências da Natureza, both from the PNLD 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. The objectives of the analysis follow the recommendations of the Laws of Guidelines and Bases of Education and the National Common Curricular Base, which are some of the documents used to regulate the processes involving science teaching in basic education. For the analysis, a thorough review of four books was carried out, taking into account the texts, illustrations and exercises present in these didactic materials. In general, it was observed that most of the books follow the recommendations of these documents, having a very significant presentation in the 7th year book of the Araribá collection, and scarcely in the 8th year book of the same collection; in the 7th and 8th books of the Inovar collection was observed the presence of such contents. Regarding the presence of contents related to the marine ecosystems and their biodiversity in exercises, in the 7th year book of the Araribá collection it is present, however in the 8th year book of the same collection such presence was not observed, and in the books of the Inovar collection these contents were scarcely presented. In general, this can also be justified by the poor specifications on the approach to this topic by the LBD and BNCC. In view of this, it would be necessary that this issue in books be taken into consideration by the regulating agencies and specialists that elaborate these didactic materials, so that they can specify as a recommendation for the production of high-quality didactic materials.
