Resumo: | ||||||||
This thesis has the objective of investigating the social
construction of sex
education in a public school with a Nucleus of Adolescent
Multipliers (NAM). An
ethnographic research was developed in a school in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil,
between August, 2002, and June, 2003. During this period,
NAM`s meetings,
classes of various subjects, and, specially, the classes of
Sciences were observed,
as well as meetings, breaks, and other activities. Students
and teachers were
interviewed. The current intense debate about the sexuality
of adolescents is
caused by the fact that sexuality is an important focus of
political investment and
of governance technology, and, the school reveals itself as
a privileged space for
the development of biopower. This thesis demonstrates in
what ways education is
imbricated in this problematic and how it relates to other
areas of knowledge, as
biology, medicine, demography and psychology, in order to
manage the
adolescent sexuality. Sex education has been taught at
schools mainly by Science
teachers based on the theme of human reproduction, and, in
some schools, in
the framework of NAM. The school offers the students a
knowledge that pretends
to be scientific, and, therefore, true about sexuality,
which is used by them as a
criterion of truth to judge their previous knowledge about
this theme. In this
perspective, the human body is conceived as an organism and
each organ is
studied having as main focus its reproduction function.
Thus, the woman`s body
receives greater emphasis than the man`s body.
Contradictorily, when sex
education is developed on the basis of the reproduction
theme, precisely this ends
up being emphasized, in spite the fact that it is exactly
its occurrence among
adolescents that the various educational policies intend to
avoid. The school
interventions try to develop among adolescents a sense of
responsibility around
the sexual relations, aiming to change or to adequate the
mechanisms that
structure patterns of preventive behavior. With this
objective, the school, besides
fostering the use of preservatives for the practice of safe
sex, ends up
recommending a specific model of relationship, in which sex
relations should
occur. In a similar way, pregnancy appears as an inadequate
experience for this
period of life.
