Abstract

Currently the Brazilian educational model is strongly based on teaching by skills and abilities, with an emphatic approach in the ‘Transversal Themes’. Each of these themes should be worked on seeking foundation in the daily life of the student, giving the contents worked in the classroom a real meaning. Therefore, the problem that permeates the present research is to evidence the emphatic work of the cross-sectional theme ‘Sexuality’ in schools located in a city in the interior of the State of Tocantins. With everything, the objective of this work is to express the results of a survey conducted in the 1st grade schools of high school found in the municipality of Guaraí, Tocantins states about what students know about sexuality, contraceptive methods and teenage pregnancy. The research data were obtained through the application of multiple choice questionnaires. The results obtained show that schools fulfill their role in terms of sexual education of their students and that the teachers of the biology discipline are the ones who contribute the most to this training. The non-approach of this theme in other disciplines is probably linked to the lack of training that make the teachers of all disciplines aware of the importance of transversal themes.
