| Summary: | In this study, we seek to identify and understand how sexuality has been treated in classroom
practices at initial grades, considering that we see it as a historical and cultural construct. We examined
female teachers’ narratives about their classroom experiences involving sexuality, in order know discourses
and strategies involved in the constitution of children’s sexuality through the school pedagogies used by
them. In the experiences narrated, we noted the emergence of the action and interrelationship of several
discourses – those of biology; gender and sexual identities; the innocent and asexual child; family; protection
–, and of interdictions – for instance, the biological field explanations, students transfers, derogatory naming,
reprehensions, micro punishments. |
