Uma abordagem didático-pedagógica na prevenção das IST: relato de experiência

Abstract

The present study came to light from the carefree speech of many adolescents incredulous of their own vulnerability regarding STIs over many years of high school teaching. An example of this concern are cases of unwanted pregnancies due to the unprotected sexual activities and the growing prevalence of STIs among youngsters. Thus, this work aimed to challenge the student’s beliefs about STIs through active learning. Divided into groups, students presented activities based on the content shown in classes and their own investigative research according to the principles of meaningful learning. This work was developed in 2020 with 3 rd year high school students at the State School Raul Soares, city of Ubá-MG, Brazil. As a result, a didactic sequence merged from the activities presented by the students. There is a predominance of playfulness in the proposals, involved with creativity and authenticity, which reinforces the idea that the individual must be considered in all its aspects, that is, the perspective that entertainment, emotions and attitudes go hand in hand alongside with knowledge, without losses and towards meaningful learning.
