HISTÓRIA DA CIÊNCIA NO LIVRO DIDÁTICO – INVESTIGANDO A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DE ROSALIND FRANKLIN PARA O ENTENDIMENTO DA ESTRUTURA DO DNA

Abstract

Textbooks (LD) are used as a pedagogical tool in the teaching and learning process and represent an instrument capable of presenting Science to students through a historical approach, when constructed from this perspective. Through a theoretical survey and analysis of LD of Biology approved by the National Textbook Program (PNLD) 2018, the objective is to measure and discuss the occurrence of an approach that considers the History of Science (HC) when working with the content of nucleic acids, more specifically, the prominence given to Rosalind Franklin. A very important scientist for formulating the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a "discovery" that in most cases is attributed only to Watson and Crick.
