Abelhas e o trabalho da apicultura no ensino de ciências: análise de livros didáticos dos anos finais do ensino fundamental

Abstract

Bees are flying insects, known for their important role in pollination. They belong to the order Hymenoptera, of the superfamily Apoidea. They are important for the survival of the ecosystem and contribute to the country's economy through commercialization. This work has the general objective of analyzing how content related to bees and the work of beekeeping has addressed in Online Textbooks, in the Science discipline of Elementary School Final Years, within the scope of the National Book and Teaching Material Program (PNLD). In the literature review, the Teaching of Natural Sciences, the importance of bees and beekeeping in science teaching, textbooks and the National Book and Teaching Material Program – PNLD was discussing. In the methodology, there was a curiosity on my part when developing an article with investigation: how do textbooks include bees in their content? The LDs from the 6th year and 9th year of PNLD 2024, from the Science curricular component, were selecting as the analysis corpus. 6 publishers that were available entirely online were investigated: Ática, Moderna, Saraiva, Scipione, SM and UDL Educação. Due to the importance of bees in the ecosystem, they should be seeing more in content to better socialize with the subject and have an education that cares about the environment in which we live.
