Dengue is a serious public health problem in Brazil. The National Guidelines for Prevention and Control of Dengue Epidemics recommend the presence of health education action in schools and inclusion of the topic in the curriculum of the disciplines. In formal education, the text book is characterized as one of the main tools for teaching and dissemination of scientific knowledge. Thus, we analyzed the theme of dengue in the text books of science and biology indicated by the Didactic Book National Program (PNLD/2008 and 2011) and the Didactic Book National Program for High School (PNLEM/2009), respectively. The theme was present in the forty text books of the 106 indicated by the PNLD (2008 and 2011) and PNLEM (2009). There were conceptual errors, the use of inappropriate illustrations and sociocultural decontextualization of the content. These factors limit the use of this collaborative resource for action to be carried out in the schools with the aim to control dengue.

RESUMO: Dentre os agravos a saude que tem acometido a populacao brasileira, destaca-se a dengue, a qual requer acoes de controle integradas e participativas. O estudo investigou a existencia ou nao de acoes intersetoriais entre os campos da saude e da educacao em uma area endemica do Rio de Janeiro. Para tal, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com sete professores de Ciencias e Biologia de uma escola publica e dezesseis profissionais de saude de uma unidade proxima a escola selecionada. As entrevistas foram submetidas a analise de conteudo tematica. Os resultados indicam que o conhecimento sobre a doenca e superficial, falta dialogo entre os protagonistas dos setores investigados e os materiais informativos de que dispoem sao escassos e por vezes inadequados. Palavras-chave: Dengue. Educacao em Saude. Profissionais de Saude e de Educacao. KNOWLEDGES AND EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES ABOUT DENGUE: THE PERSPECTIVES OF TEACHERS AND HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

portuguesResumo As doencas negligenciadas correspondem a um grupo de agravos de relevância nacional e internacional. O tema das doencas negligenciadas precisa transcender o setor da saude e sua abordagem deve estar presente tambem no ensino. Alem disso, o controle e a prevencao destes agravos, bem como a saude, necessitam ser compreendidos como um fenomeno multifacetado. Analisamos o tema das doencas negligenciadas nas propostas curriculares dos estados brasileiros destinados a disciplina de Ciencias do 6o ao 9o ano do ensino fundamental. Reunimos ao todo 24 propostas curriculares. Os resultados apontaram que somente nove destes curriculos abordaram as doencas negligenciadas como conteudos de relevância e que persiste ainda a ideia de que a saude e um bem restritamente biologico ou produto de acoes prescritivas e ganhos cognitivos. EnglishAbstract Neglected diseases are of national and international relevance. The neglected diseases’ subject-matter must transcend the health sector and its approach must be present in education as well. In addition, the control and prevention of these diseases, as well as health, should be understood as a multifaceted phenomenon. This study aimed to analyze the neglected diseases’ theme in the Brazilian states’ curriculum proposals for elementary school’s Science subject from 6th to 9th grade. A total of 24 curriculum proposals were gathered and examined. The results showed that only nine of these curricula dealt with neglected diseases as relevant content, still allowing the idea to persist that health is a strictly a biological good or a product of prescriptive actions and cognitive gains.
