Abstract

This work investigated the selection criteria of the textbook Mathematics NPDB in 2010, in Nova Iguacu. We tried to understand who participated in this choice, how the pedagogical school was related to the process of choosing a textbook, the Guide to the Textbook was considered in the process, and when the Guide Book is not used, as would be held this choice. To achieve this goal, the poll surveyed teachers in 11 schools of New Delhi. We interviewed 101 stakeholders involved in the choice of textbooks, among them the manager of the NPDB for Nova Iguacu, teachers from 1st to 5th year of elementary school principals and coordinators. The visits to schools and the City Department of Education took place in the period from 8 to June 28, 2009. The research showed that the main criteria used by teachers include: a student's reality, context of the book, content and proposed activities. Some teachers take as criterion the publisher of the book chosen for the field of Portuguese language. The survey also showed that in some schools is not always the opinion of teachers is taken into account in determining the book to be chosen.
