PARGA LOZANO, Diana Lineth. Research in Colombia on Chemistry Textbooks: Documentary Analysis. Rev. Fac. Cienc. Tecnol. [online]. 2018, n.44, pp.111-128. ISSN 0121-3814.

Textbooks have been investigated from perspectives such as science education, which have contributed results for its improvement. Considering this, we decided to characterize the research trends regarding chemistry textbooks (CT) in Colombia through a qualitative approach with content analysis. Accordingly, we analyzed 33 documents (dissertations, articles, and lectures) that researched this topic and which made it possible to identify the emergence of 4 categories (content analysis, didactic analysis, evolution of CT, and the authors) that show a tendency of research on chemical concepts, historical-epistemological analysis, research on conceptual errors, distorted images of chemistry, lack of relationship between that which is metadisciplinary and interdisciplinary, and an incipient constructivism.

Keywords : Textbooks; chemistry; content; scientific education.
