SEXUALIDADE E EDUCAÇÃO SEXUAL NOS LIVROS DIDÁTICOS DE CIÊNCIAS E BIOLOGIA: UM OLHAR PARA OS ANAIS DO ENEBIO

Abstract

Currently textbooks have a prominent position in teaching, because from them, teachers can organize, develop and evaluate their classes. This work seeks to understand how Brazilian researchers analyze the approach to sexuality and sex education in Science and Biology textbooks based on the annals of the National Meeting of Biology Teaching (ENEBIO). From the eight editions of the ENEBIO annals, we searched for works that contained the descriptors “textbook” and “textbook”, “sexuality” and “sex education”, and from the five works found, we analyzed how the themes of sexuality and sex education were being addressed in textbooks. In this way, the titled cross-cutting themes appear in textbooks, but in a reduced form, therefore, it is important to always look for strategies that help and facilitate the introduction of these subjects in the academic-school environment, and why not, in the family environment.
