MARIA, Carolina José; LOPES, Joaquim Bernardino  and  TOMMASIELLO, Maria Guiomar Carneiro. The influence of the “Chemistry Textbook” in teaching practices in classroom. Ciência educ. [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.2, pp.329-349. ISSN 1516-7313.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320150020005.

This study focused on the influence of the “Chemistry Textbook” in teacher’s teaching practices. The teacher chosen can be considered as a representative case of the reality experienced by teachers generally in the public schools of the State of São Paulo. Eight multimodal narratives of lessons were videotaped and analyzed and also the Chemistry Textbook. The results showed that: (a) the Textbook is present in teaching practices as an external authority but; (b) the teacher works with some independence of Textbook, and (c) the Textbook’s epistemic and pedagogical conceptions were not identified in the teacher’s teaching practices.

Keywords : Chemistry teaching; Chemistry textbook; Teaching practice; Textbook; High School.
