SUMMARY:

This research investigates how the category "sex education" is mobilized, or silenced, in the pedagogical practices and discourses of high school teachers in public schools in Natal/RN. Starting from an approach of the Anthropology of Education, the study uses Ethnographic Extension Practice and narrative interviews to analyze the tensions between a hygienist-biologizing model and the emergence of an education for diversity. The investigation seeks to understand the terminological gap in sex education in the Social Sciences, contrasting it with the consolidation of the fields of gender and sexuality. In this still preliminary research, as it is a text for qualification, the hypotheses that emerged indicate that, while the category "gender" is more palatable in the school environment, "sex education" triggers more problematic and delicate themes, constantly accompanied by the categories of violence and harassment, revealing resistance and persistence of discourses of control.
