CHANGES IN DISCOURSES AND PRACTICES FACING SEXUALITY AND SEX EDUCATION

Sexuality has traditionally been approached from the biological dimension emphasizing on knowledge and use of contraceptive methods to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. From this perspective it is not possible to measure the integrity of sexuality, which includes aspects such as the psychological, the social, and the expression of feelings dimensions which involve free and responsible decision making to address the experience of sexuality, to know and demand sexual and reproductive rights, to care for themselves and for the other, to respect, to give affection and to communicate and interact. In this line, the aim of the research is focused on making visible the voices of the students, teachers, managers and practitioners who participated in the educational processes of Family Development towards sex and sex education from a holistic perspective. The methodology is part of a qualitative study from the dialogic and interactive approach. Two techniques were used for data collection: individual interviews and focus group. The main findings are focused on changing the view from the biological into a more inclusive which takes into account psychological and socio-cultural aspects. In relation to sex education, the responsibility of the family and the school in the process of sexual orientation becomes clear.
