Sexualidade: uma proposta de intervenção para o oitavo ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

When the topic of sexuality is suggested in colleges, there are many implications for working with it, because it is a controversial subject and one that is still very afraid to address. But few people understand and know that sexuality is present in our lives from the conception of a new being, through gestation, birth, childhood, the discoveries of adolescence and adulthood. Based on this aspect, the present work had as objective to work the question of the sexuality with a group of the eighth year, of the State School Marquess of Maricá, located in the municipality of Santa Izabel of the West - Paraná. The activities were linked to the "Supervised Stage in Sciences II", belonging to the Curricular Component of the Degree in Biological Sciences. Initially, the physiology of the female reproductive tract and the male reproductive tract was studied, increasing knowledge about Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) and Contraceptive Methods, in order to identify possible doubts about the subject, always providing a listening and welcoming environment for possible questions and that generated embarrassment. The question box was used, which remained with them throughout the class period, and they were answered on the last day of application. In this work, it is noted that the intervention project was very important for the development of student knowledge, evidencing the need to work with different ways and methods of teaching, not leaving aside the values that students bring. The results show that there were positive responses when comparing the previous knowledge of the student to the one constructed after participation in the intervention. The purpose of this was to approach the content and the subjects that the students list in a playful way. We have verified that the inclusion of discussions on the subject of sex education is necessary and if it is done responsibly, goals will always be more likely to be achieved. For this we need to give the students opportunities to participate in the activities and, above all, to give voice to them, so that they can problematize their point of view. We should enable the classroom to be a relaxed environment where girls and boys feel free to express their opinions, doubts, insecurities and debate them.
