Resumo: The present study aims to understand the perception and difficulties faced by teachers of early childhood education about sexuality in the school context. Five educators from a Municipal Center for Early Childhood Education (CMEI) in the Municipality of Foz do Iguaçu - PR participated in the research. As methodological resources, the qualitative approach, the field research, was used, and a semi-structured interview was applied. The data were analyzed in the light of content analysis. From the results, it was understood that teachers of early childhood education face difficulties related to the sexual manifestations of children, since the lack of academic and continuous training of these professionals causes feelings such as insecurity and fear. In addition to presenting a simplistic representation of child sexuality, reducing it to the biological aspect, supporting a complex concept in their own personal beliefs and values. Another difficulty faced by the educators is about the family's understanding of child sexuality, which becomes a barrier in approaching this theme in the educational context, as there is resistance in the family about the subject. The consolidation of discussions in academic spaces, the implementation of disciplines and interventional techniques in the curriculum of courses; deepening the knowledge of child development; the continuous training of teachers are necessary actions for the construction of practices in the study of child sexuality.

Cinco educadores del Centro Municipal de Educación Infantil (CMEI) en el Municipio de Foz do Iguaçu - PR participaron en la investigación. Como recursos metodológicos, se utilizó el enfoque cualitativo, la investigación de campo y se aplicó una entrevista semiestructurada. Los datos se analizaron a la luz del análisis de contenido. A partir de los resultados, se entendió que los maestros de la primera infancia enfrentan dificultades relacionadas con las manifestaciones sexuales de los niños, ya que la falta de educación académica y continua de estos profesionales provoca sentimientos como la inseguridad y el miedo. Además de presentar una representación simplista de la sexualidad infantil, reduciéndola al aspecto biológico, apoyando un concepto complejo en sus propias creencias y valores personales. Otra dificultad que enfrentan los educadores es la comprensión de la familia de la sexualidad infantil, que se convierte en una barrera para abordar este tema en el contexto educativo, ya que existe una resistencia en el contexto familiar sobre el tema. La consolidación de discusiones en espacios académicos, la implementación de disciplinas y técnicas de intervención en el currículo de los cursos; profundizar el conocimiento del desarrollo infantil; La formación continua de los docentes son acciones necesarias para la construcción de prácticas en el estudio de la sexualidad infantil.O objetivo deste estudo é entender quais as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos professores da educação infantil acerca da sexualidade no contexto escolar. Como recursos metodológicos, utilizou-se a abordagem qualitativa por meio de uma pesquisa de campo, com a aplicação de uma entrevista semiestruturada. Participaram da pesquisa cinco educadoras de um Centro Municipal de Educação Infantil (CMEI) do Município de Foz do Iguaçu – PR. Os dados foram analisados à luz da análise de conteúdo. A partir dos resultados, compreendeu-se que as professoras da educação infantil enfrentam dificuldades relacionadas às manifestações sexuais dos alunos, uma vez que, a falta de formação acadêmica e continuada destes profissionais, causa sentimento de insegurança frente a esta temática. Outra dificuldade enfrentada pelas educadoras está relacionada ao âmbito familiar da criança, visto que há grande resistência em falar e discutir sobre a sexualidade, o que se torna uma barreira na abordagem desse tema no contexto educacional. Desse modo, considera-se que a consolidação de discussões em espaços acadêmicos, a implementação de disciplinas e técnicas interventivas nas grades curriculares dos cursos que se propõem formar professores; assim como o aprofundamento no conhecimento do desenvolvimento infantil; e investimentos na formação continuada são ações necessárias para a construção de práticas no estudo sobre a sexualidade infantil.Research, Society and Development2021-11-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2255010.33448/rsd-v10i14.22550Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 14; e226101422550Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 14; e226101422550Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 14; e2261014225502525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/22550/19946Copyright (c) 2021 Nandra Martins Soares; Fabrício Duim Rufato; Elisabeth Rossettohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSoares, Nandra Martins Rufato, Fabrício DuimRossetto, Elisabeth2021-12-04T11:48:39Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/22550Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:41:41.060507Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
