| Popis: | The objective of this paper is to identify, according to the opinion of Brazilian high school students, the most and least important features of Physics textbooks and their preferred topics and foci. For this purpose, a cross-sectional survey was conducted, with questions based on previous qualitative studies. The data was collected through questionnaires answered by 374 students from five regions in Brazil, between 2012 and 2014. With this data, it was possible to show that the most important feature is a textbook without conceptual errors and the least important one is its weight. Among the themes and foci, the most important is the exercises for the university admission test and the least important one is the biographies. However, there are many differences in responses among sample subsets, such as age, type of school and, especially, gender. Boys are more interested in a mathematical approach and technology, among others, and girls are more interested in digital multimedia content and artistic works.
