DINIS, Nilson  and  ASINELLI-LUZ, Araci. Educação sexual na perspectiva histórico-cultural. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2007, n.30, pp.77-87. ISSN 0104-4060.

The theme of sexuality became obligatory in the National Curriculum Parameters in Brazil, and it must be dealt with as a transversal theme. This way, sexuality is not an exclusive theme of Biology’s classes anymore, but must be taught in all the disciplines of the curriculum by means of a culturalist vision. This turning of paradigm implies the discussion of all the aspects of sexuality, even the new sexual and gender identities. This demands that the theme has to be debated in teacher training courses, preparing the educator to resist to normative discourses about body, gender and sexuality.

Keywords : Sexuality; Gender; Sexual Education; Teacher Training.
