LEITE, Laurinda et al. Questionamento em manuais escolares de ciências: desenvolvimento e validação de uma grelha de análise. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2012, n.44, pp.127-143. ISSN 0104-4060.

Questions require a thoughtful answer and can play diverse educational roles, such as stimulating the learning of new knowledge, as is the case in Problem-Based Learning (PBL) contexts. In this context, the student is placed at the center of the teaching and learning processes and plays an active role in the learning of new knowledge. Bearing in mind the influence that textbooks exert on teaching practices, it is worthwhile questioning to which extent questions included in school science textbooks promote a PBL oriented teaching approach. This paper describes the development and validation of a checklist for analyzing the questions included in science textbooks. After introducing the checklist, an example of its application to a science unit assigned to two junior high school science courses (8th grade) is given, approaching the two disciplines in the area.

Palabras clave : Questioning; School Textbooks; Checklist; Problem-Based Learning.
