MARTINS, Eliecília de Fátima; SALES, Norma Almeida de Oliveira de  y  SOUZA, Cleber Alves de. O Estado, o mercado editorial e o professor no processo de seleção dos livros didáticos. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2009, vol.20, n.42, pp.11-25. ISSN 0103-6831.

A textbook besides being a teacher's and student's source of research and guidance is also a powerful teaching tool. It takes on great importance in educational policies and in the learning process, transmitting knowledge, ideas and values about certain subjects. Implicitly, a textbook deals with social, political, economical and cultural interests. This article will present some notes about the selection process of textbooks approved by the National Textbook Plan (PNLD), mainly used in public schools. It analyzes political, economic and pedagogical aspects that determine this choice, emphasizing the position of the Administration, the publishers and the teachers involved in that process.
