BELLINI, Luzia Marta. Avaliação do Conceito de Evolução nos Livros Didáticos. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2006, vol.17, n.33, pp.07-28. ISSN 0103-6831.

This article puts forward some considerations on the theory of argumentation and the role metaphors play in passing from the language of science to the language in textbooks. It analyses the concept of evolution in twelve textbooks and argues that pedagogical metaphors in the texts restrict evolution to non-scientific notions.

Keywords : Argumentation Theory; Pedagogical Metaphors; Concept of Evolution in Textbooks.
