A utilização da sequência didática interativa com professores da educação de jovens e adultos sobre educação sexual

Abstract

The objective of this work was to investigate the conceptions of EJA teachers on sexual education and the methodology used in the classroom by the same in the teaching of this concept. For that, in the methodology of qualitative basis an action research was carried out with four EJA teachers from a school in the city of São João. As methodological procedures, we carried out an initial questionnaire and the Interactive Didactic Sequence (OLIVEIRA, 2013). We had as theoretical contributions: Oliveira (2013); Arroyo (2006), Paiva (2004) Figueiró (2006, 2007, 2014) Maia (2015), among others. As a result we can verify that educating sexually is not an easy task, especially in the classes of Education of Young and Adults, since their student has specifics: they arrive at the school with the knowledge of world already constructed. The results also indicated that working with sex education in the EJA is a great challenge due to the lack of specific continuing education for teachers, due to the difficulties faced, such as the lack of seriousness of the students in dealing with this issue, leaving the professionals afraid to approach it in the classroom. And, despite these difficulties, teachers are aware of the importance of sexually educating their students and using resources and methodologies to teach. Finally, we emphasize how fundamental the training of teachers, because it enables them to have a greater contact with this subject and the knowledge to deal with the impasses in the classroom, especially in the case of the EJA.
