La educación sexual en la media: Fundamento del currículo para fortalecer las relaciones sociales y sexuales

Abstract

This research had the general objective of establishing a basis for the sexual education curriculum in secondary schools in Santander, Colombia, due to the difficulties in the way in which sexual education is conceived and developed based on the competencies and understandings of teachers, the available teaching materials, the curricular guidelines, the social barriers and beliefs, which are reflected in the perceptions of students and in their socio emotional difficulties due to the weak and inadequate way of conducting learning in this field, which is key to life. he central question was: What are the foundations of curricular interaction in high school sexuality education, based on its meanings in educational institutions in Santander, that strengthen the experience of social and sexual relationships? Methodologically, the hermeneutic paradigm was used, with a qualitative approach, to search for and interpret the constructed meanings. The results show that when analyzing sexuality education policies, there are few components that legitimize processes constructed as intersectoral in research agendas. Within institutional educational projects, there is little guidance for developing and impacting these areas and life. Likewise, it is necessary to train teachers in regulations, diversity, and interculturality, and to encourage the participation of all stakeholders, promoting meaningful, up to-date, diverse, and inclusive experiences. The contribution to knowledge focused on generating foundations based on an interactive, interdisciplinary, contextualized curriculum that advocates for a diverse and intercultural perspective on sexuality.
