O enunciado “educação sexual” em escolas estaduais de Naviraí - MS (1998-2021): história e discursos

Abstract

The research, therefore, has as its general objective to problematize the History and the discourses that evidence the statement "Sexual Education" in state schools of Naviraí-MS, with the help of Michel Foucault's theorizations about discourse/statement, relations of knowledge-power and device of sexuality. This is a qualitative, documental and exploratory research, which intended to problematize what guides the National Curricular Parameters (PCNs), in the transversal theme Sexual Orientation, and what was disposed in the other discourses/statements that circulated regarding the theme, in the three schools selected for the research, from 1998 to 2021, adopted as a time frame. The objective was also to build a map on Sexual Education, according to official documents that dialogue with Education, in addition to identifying how sexuality is related to education in the context of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, in addition to problematizing how graffiti in school bathrooms and occurrences involving sexuality were dealt with by educational institutions in acts of prohibition and interdiction and how students' desire to discuss sexuality is present in schools. We conclude that sexuality has been little discussed in educational institutions and that there is a lack of documents that better guide the actions of schools in relation to sexuality, in addition to the lack of preparation on the part of teachers regarding the subject and the lack of specific training provided by the government. The role of the Human Sciences is also necessary, in view of the possibilities that this can bring in view of the relevant contributions to the subject.
