RESUMO

The present study was sought to survey Sexuality in adolescent students, aiming at rising a variety of questions which surround it, and to work with adolescent students a preemptive education, by means of implementing an Educational Program, in a participative, problematical and reflexive perspective. It has been a qualitative Survey-Action with theoretical-methodological referentials founded by Paulo Freire, in respect to the rendering of problems, humanization, life optimization and totalizing vision of the human being. For the data surveying it has been used a guideline comprised of multiple choice questions and writein ones, as well as a participant observation. The study took place in a Public school from the countryside, with thirty (30) students in the 4th grade of Basic Education, male and female, ages from 10 to 12, fulfilling the ethical and scientific precepts. We have organized the data through tables and categorization analysis, enabling the comprehension and interpretation of the adolescentsspeeches that were surveyed. These adolescents, almost in their totality, view adolescence as a growth and new stage; present an actual, although simple, idea about Sexuality and sex, highlighting Sexuality as something connected to behavior and body, and sex as the act itself; they revealed having already seen something about it in their Natural Science classes; they considered the parents as the main source of information, trying to elucidate their doubts with them; they stated that the school was the best place for Sexuality learning; they concentrated their doubts in subjects concerning sex and body, wishing to elucidate them with health care professionals; they related health to welfare and life, and its promotion through searching for preemptive care; they suggested this theme to be discussed by means of alternative and participative strategies, with clear and simple information. We conclude, creating an Educational Program with critical and reflexive actions, aiming at a committed praxis to the freeing education to build an autonomous and conscious identity, in light of the quality of life.
