Abstract(s)
A sexualidade é intrínseca ao ser humano, sendo um dos domínios em que se encontram
aspetos de ordem biológica, psicológica e sociocultural, cuja influência determina atitudes e
comportamentos. Somente pelo facto de existirmos, todos somos sexuados; não existem seres
humanos que não possuam esta característica. Porém, durante muitos séculos, a sexualidade foi tabu
e vista negativamente.
Assim, o objetivo primordial deste trabalho foi perceber se os professores do Agrupamento
de Escolas de Oliveira de Frades estavam preparados para abordar a temática da sexualidade e se os
alunos NEE estavam preparados para a vivenciar. Desta forma, depois da revisão inicial da
literatura alusiva aos temas da deficiência dos dois alunos estudados (Trissomia 21 e surdez
profunda) e da sexualidade, foram aplicados questionários aos docentes e fizeram-se entrevistas a
dois alunos NEE, assim como às suas Encarregadas de Educação e a duas profissionais da Educação
Especial.
Os resultados obtidos revelaram que os professores não se sentiam à vontade para abordar o
tema e os jovens, sobre os quais foi realizado o estudo de caso, possuíam conhecimentos precários a
respeito da sua sexualidade, pois não lhes é fornecida educação sexual suficiente e ajustada.
Chegámos à conclusão que, para que a pessoa com deficiência aprenda a lidar com a sua
sexualidade, de forma adequada e responsável, é necessária a criação e a implementação de
programas de educação sexual, em contexto escolar, adequados às suas características, necessidades
e condições de vida.
Desta forma, apresentamos um projeto de formação para docentes Formar para melhorar –
os professores perante a sexualidade a implementar no próximo ano letivo, no Agrupamento de
Escolas de Oliveira de Frades, para que estes se sintam mais preparados para dar respostas
adequadas a estes alunos.
Sexuality is intrinsic to human being, being one of the domains where key features of biological, psychological and sociocultural order meet and whose influence determines attitudes and behaviours. Simply by the fact that we exist, we are all sexed; there are no human beings who lack this feature. But for many centuries, sexuality was a taboo and negatively regarded. Hence the main objective of this study was to see if the teachers of the Agrupamento de Escolas de Oliveira de Frades were prepared to address the issue of sexuality and to understand if SEN (Special Educational Needs) students were prepared to experience it. Therefore, after an initial review of literature related to sexuality and to the disability problems of the two students being studied (Trisomy 21 and Profound Deafness), teachers were given questionnaires and interviews were made to the two SEN students and their mothers, as well as to two SEN professionals. The results showed that teachers do not feel comfortable when addressing the issue and that the youngsters on whom the case study was conducted had poor knowledge about their sexuality since they are not being provided with sufficient and adjusted sex education. We came to the conclusion that for disabled people to learn to deal with their sexuality in an appropriate and responsible manner, it is necessary to create and to implement sex education programmes in schools, adjusted to their characteristics, needs and life conditions. In consequence, we hereby present a training project aimed at teachers - "Formar para melhorar - os professores perante a sexualidade” (Training to improve – teachers facing sexuality) - to be implemented in Agrupamento de Escolas de Oliveira de Frades over the next school year so that they may feel better prepared to give appropriate response to SEN students in the future.
