Integral education of sexuality with a professional approach in the training of teachers

Abstract

The article is part of the research project "Integrative conception of the promotion of health and natural sciences in the initial and permanent teacher training", from the University of Pinar del Río "Hermanos Saíz Montes de Oca". It is an experimental research, in its pre-experimental variant and aimed to develop a pedagogical strategy that contributes to the comprehensive education of sexuality with a pedagogical professional approach, in the students of pedagogical careers. The methodological base was assumed as the dialectical-materialist method, which supported the use of methods of the theoretical level, used in the determination of the theoretical referents of the research and empirical level methods were used, which allowed to verify the current state of integral education of sexuality, in the students of the sample. The designed strategy is based on a system of principles, in which the principle of double intentionality of the integral education of sexuality in the training of teaching staff is emphasized. Its implementation in practice allowed the appropriation of content related to sexuality as a personality dimension, placing the student at the center of the process, such as being sexed, both individually and professionally, with the mission of contributing to education of the sexuality of others, a task that is part of his role as a teacher, which proved the validity of the proposal.
