Infecções sexualmente transmissíveis: análise dos conteúdos de um livro didático e intervenção educativa com uma turma do ensino médio no município de Pedro II

Abstract

Sexual education, although it has undergone several revisions over the years and its presence in textbooks, is still presented in a very superficial way, ignoring several issues related to the content. On the other hand, the number of STIs has been growing every year, therefore, there are still difficulties for schools to work on these topics interdisciplinary. The objective of this study was to analyze the STIs content in a high school Biology book and report an educational intervention carried out in a state school in Pedro II-PI. The study methodology was thematic content analysis, with the definition of five a priori categories: location of the theme; structure and formatting; content; language and visual resources. The educational intervention included a lecture and a fun activity. The results showed the presence of STI content, and its approach: text, illustrations and table. However, the superficiality in the approach to the content was noted, especially in the text, it does not present citations, references to complementary works, or video suggestions. Furthermore, the intervention noted the importance of sexual education in schools, with all participants recognizing the relevance of this topic, reinforcing the need to expand and qualify educational actions.
