A Teoria da Relatividade Especial promoveu, no começo do século XX, uma revolução paradigmática e introduziu novas interpretações sobre o conceito de massa (inércia) e como essa se relaciona com a energia. Ao longo dos anos, diversos autores tentaram apresentar esses conceitos para um público mais geral, por meio da divulgação científica e da transposição didática. Infelizmente, nessas adaptações tem se evidenciado a presença de alguns erros conceituais e inconsistências. Neste trabalho analisamos os tópicos de Relatividade Especial nos livros didáticos de física aprovados no Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD) – 2018 que abordam os conceitos de massa e a relação massa-energia, desta análise apontamos que estas obras apresentam incongruências. Por serem problemas persistentes e recorrentes, eles já se tornaram obstáculos epistemológicos e por isso exigem uma investigação mais cuidadosa que mostre a sua origem e se eles são ou se tornaram incongruentes. Por essa razão, nosso trabalho não se limita apenas em apontar em quais livros elas aparecem, mas traz uma ampla reflexão sobre cada uma dessas incongruências, dialogando com vários autores, visando servir de subsídio para licenciandos, professores, alunos e autores de livros e divulgadores da ciência.

The Theory of Special Relativity promoted, in the beginning of the 20th century, a paradigmatic revolution and introduced new interpretations on the concept of mass (inertia) and how it is related to energy. Over the years, several authors have tried to present these concepts to a more general public through scientific dissemination and didactic transposition. Unfortunately, these adaptations have shown the presence of some conceptual errors and inconsistencies. In this paper, we analyze the topics of Special Relativity in physics textbooks approved in the National Textbook Program (PNLD) – 2018 address the concepts of mass and the mass-energy relationship and we point out that these present inconsistencies. As they are persistent and recurrent problems, they have already become epistemological obstacles and therefore require a more careful analysis to show their origin and they are or have become incongruous. For this reason, our work is not limited to pointing out which books they appear in, but it brings a broad reflection on each of these inconsistencies, dialoguing with various authors, aiming to serve as a subsidy for undergraduates, teachers, students and book authors and publishers of the science. |
