Abstract

In this study the approach to the content on schistosomiasis in Science and Biology textbooks, indicated by the guide of the National Textbook Program (PNLD) 2011 and PNLD - High School – 2012, Ministry of Education, was analyzed. For this analysis eleven science and seven biology collections, all indicated by the program, were selected. The results revealed inaccuracies in concepts, images and thematically outdated content in all the books surveyed. It is emphasized that care is needed in preparing such school material, in order to avoid discrepancies between the information provided and the reality present in endemic areas. The correct information contributes to a better construction of attitudes, which minimizes the risk of contracting the disease, thus
strengthening measures that promote health in the communities involved.
