Educação para sexualidade na adolescência e abordagens lúdicas: uma análise de estratégias de ensino e seus impactos na compreensão da reprodução humana

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the impact of playful approaches to sexuality education for adolescents, with a focus on understanding aspects related to human reproduction. Sexuality education, especially during adolescence, is fundamental for developing a healthy and conscious understanding of sexuality. However, this topic still faces a number of challenges in Brazilian schools, such as cultural resistance and a lack of preparation on the part of educators. Playful approaches, involving the use of games and interactive activities, are effective strategies for engaging adolescents and facilitating the assimilation of complex content. The research was carried out in a high school, using a mixed methodology that combined qualitative and quantitative data analysis. The results indicate that playful activities promote a greater understanding of the topics covered and contribute to the formation of responsible attitudes towards sexuality. This study reinforces the importance of innovative methodologies in sexuality education, contributing to the holistic development of young people and building a more aware and inclusive society.
