Abstract:
This study discusses science textbooks for the final years of elementary school. The purpose is to present data related to the orientations found in Textbook Guides in the National Textbook Program (PNLD). The study focuses on the fragmentation of the content found in textbooks. An analysis of the Textbook Guides indicated that although the official documents call for a science education that articulates various fields of knowledge, the PNLD continues to approve mostly textbook collections that present content in a fragmented manner. With this, teachers have limited options to choose books that are organized differently than the traditional, fragmented, way.
