Educação sexual e o ensino de ciências: análise do uso de anticoncepcionais a partir de uma proposta didática interdisciplinar direcionada às estudantes do Ensino Médio do Instituto Federal de Pernambuco - Campus Barreiros

Abstract

Sexuality has been present in the individual's life since his birth, and accompanies him throughout his life. Sexuality involves all forms of seeking and experiencing pleasure. The process of sexuality development is influenced by external stimuli from the social environment of the individual. In view of this, we highlight the importance of studying the themes related to sexual education in the classroom, since in adolescence young people are knowing their body and desires. Thus, this study aimed to answer the following problem, which is the understanding of high school students about Sexual Education, Science Education, the use of contraceptives as well as the consequences and effects of this use. The methodology of this work consists in the application of a didactic sequence based on the Kelly Cycle Experience involving the theme of the use of contraceptive methods, through a didactic intervention carried out in high school of the Federal Institute of Pernambuco-Campus Barreiros. Bardin Content Analysis was used to treat the results. The application of the project helped the adolescents to know more about the difference in sex and sexuality, to understand the importance of using contraceptive methods, besides knowing how they work in their body. In view of the knowledge acquired with this research, health actions aimed at the prevention of side effects related to the misuse of Oral Contraceptives have been suggested
