SEXUALITY SCHOOLING: SILENCE AS A PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Abstract

The study investigates knowledge produced in theses and dissertations about schooling of sexuality in the area of the Physical Education in Brazil. It identifies what the area has produced on the subject and its effects on the school context. All productions on sexuality at school finished by 2014 were read. The argument developed holds that Physical Education is included in the school context through a biological logic, using the idea of the “healthy” body to justify heteronormative education. The analysis shows that the “unsaid” is an effective strategy for teaching about sexuality, being also a pedagogical practice.
