Abstract

Does Sexual Education when offered in our schools respond to the 21st century students learning needs? Although adolescents have evolved in cognitive and technological aspects, they are still vulnerable and full of anxieties in relation to experiencing their own sexuality. This research general objective proposes an innovative Sexual Education anchored in active learning methods elements, with the student in the protagonist role of their educational process. This study was organized in six moments and was developed in a public school in Várzea Grande city - MT, with the 2nd year students of High School. The research is characterized as qualitative with an investigative approach, based on the Project Based Learning, consolidated on collaborative learning and the DICT use. It started with the problematization, using conversation circles and the brainstorming technique, followed by the hypotheses construction by the students, for the so-called “investigative focus meetings”, with the purpose of investigating possible resolutions to the questions raised by students and the future sharing with other young people. Data collection took place through the questionnaires application and on-site observations. With the present work it was observed that the investigative approach associated with active teaching methods arouses interest, creativity and the knowledge sharing with other colleagues, as well as enhancing the use of their skills, which in this research resulted in the authorial pages on Instagram production and the Educasex educational app creation. Thus, it was possible to conclude that giving students a voice, listening to them and stimulating their potential through the challenging pedagogical practices application are potent elements for the learning to be beyond efficient, pleasant and meaningful to teachers and students.
