Processos seletivos de acesso ao ensino superior e ensino de física: uma análise de questões presentes nos livros didáticos da área de ciências da natureza do PNLD 2021

Abstract

The High School Reform in 2017 and the approval of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) in 2018 led to adjustments in the National Textbook and Teaching Material Program (PNLD), the public educational policy for school textbooks. In this context, textbooks began to be organized by Areas of Knowledge, só that content from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology became part of the Natural Sciences textbook, distributed in six volumes for the high school cycle. Considering that some students may choose to continue their studies in Higher Education, it is essential that they become familiar with the nature of questions featured in entrance exams, such as university entrance exams and the National High School Exam (ENEM). In this regard, this study aims to analyze Physics questions from selective admission processes, their formats and approaches, as presented in the most widely adopted Natural Sciences textbook collection in the 2021 PNLD. Additionally, it explores how this educational material addresses such questions, which may eventually be part of the academic experience of those who choose to continue their studies, regardless of their future field of specialization.
