Web seminários sobre educação sexual como proposta pedagógica para a formação inicial e continuada de professores

Abstract

Sexuality integrates all phases of human life and its approach in a school environment is indispensable. The role of sexuality in the formation of the student as an individual is observed, with the understanding of the physiological, social and cultural changes that occur during adolescence, and that will accompany him throughout all stages of his life. Although the documents that guide the curriculum in the national context refer to a transversal approach to the theme, the reality is that the teaching, most of the time, is under the responsibility of the Science and Biology subjects. In this sense, one of the difficulties that arise in relation to the approach to Sex Education is the teacher's training. The objective of this research was to evaluate the contributions of Web Seminars on Sex Education to the initial training of Science teachers. The methodology was characterized as qualitative, applied, since it sought the intervention in a real observed problem, adding to the trace of a bibliographical research by the realization of surveys of works, works and publications in the area. A survey and analysis of the productions of teachers who participated in the last three editions (2013, 2014 and 2016) of the Educational Development Program of the State Department of Education of Paraná was carried out in order to map the practices for the insertion of Sex Education in the final years of elementary school, as well as to bring to the context of initial formation, the teaching experiences of teachers in the process of continued formation, in experiences with the implementation of activities with the sexuality theme. Web Seminars focused on Sexuality Education were organized for the formation of Science teachers, with students from the Undergraduate Biological Sciences course at the Federal Technological University of Paraná, Ponta Grossa campus. The Web Seminars made possible the intervention in the formation process of future Science teachers, contributing with their pedagogical formation to approach the theme, with the development of strategies that aim to help in this process. With the research done, it was possible to elaborate and make available a didactic material to be used as a subsidy in the process of initial and continued formation of teachers, in order to contribute to the approach of Sex Education in the classroom, aiming at its influence in the development of the student as an individual.
