Abstract

This study addresses the analysis of the concepts of motion and force in Science textbooks aimed at Youth and Adult Education, considering their importance for understanding everyday phenomena and for students’ education. The objective of the research was to analyze how these contents are presented in selected textbooks, examining aspects such as organization, language, accessibility, and proposed activities. The methodology adopted is characterized as a qualitative, descriptive, and documentary research, using content analysis as a technique to examine two textbooks selected based on specific criteria. The results indicated that the analyzed books present adequate organization, accessible language, and examples related to students’ daily lives, as well as diverse activities that support learning. It was also observed that the materials value students’ prior knowledge and encourage critical thinking through contextualized practices. However, some differences were identified in the way the contents are approached in each book. It is concluded that the analyzed teaching materials significantly contribute to the teaching of motion and force concepts in Youth and Adult Education, highlighting the importance of resources that connect with students’ realities and promote meaningful learning.
