The work, Sexuality: Representations of Teachers of the medium teaching is linked to the Educational Practices Line of Research in the Institutions of the Course of Master's degree in Education of Santa Maria's Federal University. This study is constituted in an investigation with qualitative approach, that looks for, starting from the teachers' of public schools glance and peculiar of medium teaching, to investigate the representations about sexuality that permeates the educational institutions in Santiago's city, RS, as well as to identify, to classify and to discuss the conceptions, actions in teacher practice and the students' aspirations involved in its social adapts. The information obtained starting from the realities was discussed through the theory of the Social Representations and as research instruments the semi-structured interview and the observation were used. Starting from the use of those resources, casting contents of the interviews that orientated the formation of categories and the approach with social representations were constituted by the groups. Those representations passed, later, to constitute the focus of the discussions, which were based by the theoretical referential, whose bases are in authors as: Foucault (1992, 2001, 2002), Freud (l976) Saviani (2001), Nunes (2001), Gomes (2002), Veiga (1997), Guimarães (1995), Stoll (1988). Kupfer (1989), Minayo (2000), among others. This work allowed verifying the multiple ideas and present images in each researched dimension. According to the positioning and arguments of the subjects, the theme was evidenced, opening new discussions and restructurings of the curricula on behalf of the improvement in its educational practices and, consequently of humanized formation process. The study demonstrated that the theme sexuality exercises influence on each one of the members of social relationships, through their cultures, life histories and politics of a context, becoming, like this, a complex plenty subject. Like this, the sexuality, as a dimension of the human condition, demands an effort from the professionals of the area of the education to generate situations that can clear doubts or even to guide the student's formation. In the interviews, the teachers evidence concern with the theme and they demand subsidies that favor them explanations in the treatment with the human sexuality in order to best to work in practice educational. Most of the interviewees tell the difficulties found when working the subject, the absence of knowledge received in the initial formation and the inexistence of accomplishment of projects that allow to the teacher to carry out, in an efficient way, the professional and social paper. In relation to the students, it is observed that there are a lot of doubts about sexuality and difficulty in talking about that subject with somebody that they give their emotional conditions in the search of a better learning and of knowledge construction. According to the interviewees, the relationships interpessoais are conditioning for a good educational acting and for the easiness learning of the students. The research shows that, for the fact of approaching the social representations concerning the sexuality, the subjectivity is revealed so much in the teacher as in the student, being materialized in the actions or attitudes explicit or implicit of both. Like this, it increases a complicity in the sense of aiding the development of the sexuality of the students, it makes possible to them the formation of different world visions, it helps them in the resolution of conflicts and it allows a larger reflection than it leads them to safer positioning.
