Abstract:
This research discuss the use of texts in science education, in a adult education school located in the State of São Paulo. Taking as reference the discourse analysis of the French school, the research emphasizes how aspects known as negatives ones by the teachers, got to beginning changing ideas, aiming for the education improvement in that school. Between all this negative aspect, I point the precariousness of didactic materials, passed by the silence which was imposed by politics in those dictatorship' days. I also bring up in discussion the idea that same didactic materials, which are always criticized by teachers, can take students to unexpected readings and interpretations, taking us to assume how the reading depend much more the interaction between individual and texts, that the speech of the author.
