Abstract

By examining textbooks which have been selected according to the National Textbook Plan PNLD 2013, the present research analyzes the work of the teacher, taking into consideration the role of prescriptions. The theoretical framework for this study comprises references which approach the question of the teachers work (MACHADO E BRONCKART, 2004; SOUZA-E-SILVA, 2004; SAUJAT, 2004), as well as ones which, based on the Cultural-Historical Theory, can help carry out a discussion on textbooks as prescriptive mediational tools for the work carried out in the classroom. The teachers guide and the teachers manual of four textbook collections have been used in order to analyze how the teacher is discursivized by them. Through the analysis of the context of textbook production, as part of one of the objectives of this study, not only the different voices present in the teachers guidelines have been highlighted, but also to whom they are directed. It is believed that this research work will help in the discussion of theoretical-methodological aspects related to didactic material analyses, since the scientific production in this area has contributed very little in bringing up discussions on the possible implications of prescriptive mediational tools (in this case the textbooks) on the teachers work. The analyses indicate that textbooks have occupied significant space in the classroom, therefore impacting the work of teachers by taking up the space which should be attributed to them. (AU)
