PINHO, Raquel and BASTOS, Felipe. Meanings of sexuality in annals of Encontros Nacionais de Ensino de Biologia (2005-2016). Ensino em Re-Vista [online]. 2019, vol.26, n.1, pp.82-99. Epub Oct 06, 2023. ISSN 1983-1730. https://doi.org/10.14393/er-v26n1a2019-4.
This article aims to perceive the meanings of sexuality attributed to the scientific productions presented at the Encontro Nacional de Ensino de Biologia (ENEBIO). All 2,517 papers presented in the six editions of the meeting were screened using search tools and 107 were selected according to the desired scope: sexuality related themes, such as sex, gender, STD, pregnancy, amongst others. We conclude that sexuality is an emergent area under consolidation in the meetings, since its related articles shows a quantitative increase over the years. The articles were written mostly by female authors and from public universities. In general, research focuses on basic education teachers and students, especially elementary education. Quantitatively, there is a predominance of the sociological approach of sexuality, but biological, psychological and ethical approaches were also analyzed. Finally, we draw some considerations on the importance of analyzing the sexuality area, both for research and for teaching.
