Educação sexual no ambiente escolar: possibilidades e desafios

Abstract

Scientific studies that approach sex education in the school environment, highlight the importance of children having contact with the subject from the early years of elementary school, in a responsible and appropriate way, thus reducing to the maximum the dangers caused by lack of information. The attitude of the teacher in schools regarding the theme is of great importance for the quality of the educational process. The present work aimed to understand how schools act in relation to the Sexual Education of children in the early years of Elementary School. In order to achieve this objective, a bibliographical review of some texts was carried out, based on research and reflections by authors on the subject. Due to the time that we have and with the intention of this research being ready in time to be presented, texts were revised in order to enrich and enhance the study. Following this analysis, the research pointed to traditional thoughts and fears of how to approach and the difficulties encountered, which is why I believe it is necessary to invest in the training of teachers' continuing education, because in the reviews made, the lack of knowledge of teachers was most noted As for the theme under discussion, it is also necessary to find actions so that parents understand that the discussion of this theme is in fact important in schools.
