SEXUAL EDUCATION: A TEACHING SEQUENCE FOR A YAE SETTLEMENT SCHOOL

ABSTRACT: This article is part of a pedagogical-intervention research developed in a master's course. The objective was to investigate sexuality conceptions of Youth and Adult Education (YAE) students during Science classes, as well as to propose a Didactic Sequence (DS) for Sexual Education (SE) in a school located in a settlement, in the rural area of Monte Alegre de Mina, a town in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Initially, we did a literature review on the Internet searching for: "sex education in YAE in settlement schools", "sex education in YAE and the Freirean approach", and for "gender and sexuality in settlement YAE". However, there were no results for this search. Thus, this research is justified due to the lack of discussions that align the triad YAE, SE, and settlement school. Data collection used questionnaires. The results present suggestions and possibilities for discussing sexuality themes, including gender, based on students’ experiences. It is suggested the development of DS adapted to the transversality of the sexuality themes and the reality of the students in the triad context of SE, YAE, and settlement school.
