Ethnic-racial relations. Biology textbook. New High School
The research aims to discuss the textbooks of Natural Sciences and their Technologies used in the so-called New High School (Law No. 13.415/2017) with regard to ethnic-racial relations in Brazil and the teaching of biology. The question is: How, in particular, are black people thought/represented by the themes proposed by high school biology textbooks? Is there a racial recognition of black culture, the majority in Brazil, in the approaches proposed in these books? Do they contribute to the recognition of racial equality in Brazil? To answer these questions, we outline the following general objective: To investigate the contributions of biology textbooks used in the new high school for the consolidation of Law n. 13.415/2017. This general objective was broken down into the following specific objectives: a). To present how black people are thought of/represented by the themes proposed by high school biology textbooks. B). To analyze the conceptions of ethnic -racial relations and Biology teaching present in New High School textbooks; ç). Identify the limits and possibilities of textbooks to work on ethnic-racial relations considering the High School BNCC.
