This work aims to identify and analyze studies that investigated the insertion of science-technology-society relations in didactic books in the area of sciences, regarding their characteristics, contributions and limitations for teaching with a CTS focus. A bibliographic research was carried out, with a qualitative methodological approach. The studies were located at the portal of Capes Journal and in the Capes Thesis and Dissertations Bank considering the period from 2010 to 2017. The main results indicated that, although there are initiatives to insert the social dimensions of science and technology in the textbooks, the space reserved for such discussions is not very expressive, both in the Brazilian textbooks and in the textbooks of other countries. The importance of criticality regarding the selection and use of didactic works is reiterated and it is understood that teacher training can collaborate with critical-reflexive spaces that contemplate debates about the textbook and its use in the classroom.Downloads
