| dc.description.abstract | Sexuality education for boys, girls and adolescents has been incorporated into the formal
educational system. In this context, it is the teachers who must have the necessary knowledge
to handle this issue with their students so that they can develop a healthy, pleasant and happy
sexuality. However, due to limitations such as lack of knowledge, prejudices, stereotypes or
taboos, educating in sexuality has become a complex job for teachers. The objective of this
monograph is to explore the knowledge of ESI that basic education teachers have and their
ways of implementing it in the classroom. To meet this objective, an exhaustive bibliographic
research has been carried out in books, magazines, articles and periodicals, at a national and
international level. Likewise, to complement it, a field investigation has been carried out in the
practical schools where basic education teachers work. The results obtained show that, in terms
of knowledge, the vast majority of teachers fail to correctly define what ESI is, in addition,
despite mentioning that they can differentiate it from sexual education, the truth is that a
minority manages to do it with precision; Likewise, the topics that they most address are the
prevention of violence, sexual abuse and caring for the body. On the other hand, the way to
implement ESI is as a transversal axis through strategies such as questions, videos and direct
instruction. | |
