Parasitoses nos livros didáticos de ciências do 7º ano do ensino fundamental: uma análise qualitativa do conteúdo. 2025. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas) - Instituto Federal de Roraima, Boa Vista, 2025.https://repositorio.ifrr.edu.br/handle/123456789/280Teaching parasitology has an important role both inside and outside of school, as it involves issues directly linked to the health and daily lives of students. Therefore, understanding how this content is worked in classes is essential. In this scenario, textbooks (LD) assume great relevance, as they are often the main resource used by teachers in teaching Science and Biology. With this concern in mind, this study analyzed five collections approved by the National Textbook Program (PNLD), focusing on the treatment given to the topic of parasitic diseases. The analysis considered the parasites presented and the use of images as visual support. The results indicated that, although the books contribute to learning and building knowledge about parasitology, there are still relevant gaps, as some parasitic diseases with a major epidemiological impact are not covered or appear superficially. Thus, the need to broaden the perspective on teaching parasitology is highlighted, ensuring that students have a broader understanding of the topic and develop awareness about prevention and health care.pt-BRAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 BrazilParasitologiaCiênciasLivros didáticosPlano Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD)Parasitosestcc_graduacaoCIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO::TOPICOS ESPECIFICOS DE EDUCACAO::ENSINO PROFISSIONALIZANTECIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAOCIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS
