Education in Sexuality & Extension: building a scenario through the productions of the University Extension Seminar in the South Region – SUARS

Abstract

The current context of Brazilian education, especially in the political field, has shown great signs of setback, especially regarding sexuality education. The attacks with an ultra-conservative nature are constant by political leaders linked to the Ministry of Education, which ends up making it difficult to consolidate an education in sexuality within the biopsychosocial conception. In this sense, it is necessary as a form of resistance to find possibilities for action in the face of these attacks, and university extension can represent one of these possibilities. Thus, the present work aimed to know the production on sexuality education in the Extension Seminar of the South Region - SUARS, and from this production a panorama was created and to identify possible consequences for new strategies in sexual education. The research was of a documentary type, based on the “corpus” extracted from the annals of the SUARS, with works involving education in sexuality. As an analytical tool, principles of content analysis were used. Thus, 22 works were found, the number of works is percentage small when compared to the total works of the event. A predominant institution in the publications was identified and presented a predominance of the biological-centered view, however, in many of them there was a trend of conception intersected with the biopsychosocial.
