REFLEXÕES SOBRE O TRABALHO COM SEXUALIDADE NO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL: DESAFIOS E POSSIBILIDADES REFLECTIONS ON WORKING WITH SEXUALITY IN BASIC EDUCATION: CHALLENGES AND POSSIBILITIES

The human development is marked by stages, among them, stands out the stage of adolescence. This is characterized by physiological, physical and psychological changes, which directly or indirectly influence the teenager's life and their families. Sexuality is the protagonist in this phase of development and is more noticeable in school age, therefore, we emphasize the importance of sexuality issue to be discussed with caution in school. In this context, the present work is an experience report that comes from an activity performed during the curricular internship supervised in Science, with basic education students and aimed to provide them a reflection about their attitudes, behaviors and values in order to mitigate the negative view that most of them have regarding sexuality, a reflection of the society in which they are inserted and to help them to take responsible decisions about their own sex life. The results show that work done with little hours are not enough for there to be a significant reflection in students' conceptions, showing that the theme sexuality must be addressed continuously throughout the process of teaching and learning.
