In this paper we report a research conducted with Chemistry teachers from public schools of the state of Minas Gerais during a teach ing development process (Immersion) carried out by Cecimig, aimed at the identification of the main criteria used by such teachers for the selec tion of textbooks. We used data obtained from a questionnaire answered by 180 teachers. Our research pointed out that 99% of the teachers make use of textbooks and are abided by the following criteria for their choice (content, contextualization, texts); author; clear language; layout (biding and visual); exercises (quantity and quality); official guidelines (PCN and CBC). The research also pointed out some of the difficulties for the choice of the textbooks.
