This article aims to develop an epistemological reflection about the process for selection of the Chemistry textbooks distributed for the National Program of the Didactic Textbooks. The goal of this study was to demonstrate the existence of a pattern for the choice of this material. The research, of exploratory nature, checked the data supplied by Ministry of Education and confronted the percent of participating schools with the most chosen textbooks, the description of each book with the view for books provided for the process of 2008 to 2015, aiming at revealing the existence of a tendency for maintenance of the style of thinking, to which teachers are bound and has already been strengthened for many couplings, strengthened through the professional formation. This shows that the choice does not always serve reality’s needs of students, but to the concepts of teaching present in the practice for each teacher.Downloads
