Una estrategia para desarrollar la creatividad mediante las emociones: dibujo artístico y movimiento corporal
Get PDFThe work that we present is the result of the workshop “Strategies, activities and resources for the didactics of the drawing, the image and the plastic arts” that is part of the subject: Learning and teaching in the specialty of drawing, image and plastic arts, belonging to the Official Master’s Degree in Compulsory Secondary Education and Baccalaureate, Vocational Training and Language Teaching of the University of Cádiz. Course 2018-2019. The study was carried out in the Faculty of Education Sciences of the University of Cádiz, involving eighteen students aged between 23 and 31 years with different backgrounds: Fine Arts,Architecture, Communication, Design... Our goal has been to develop creativity through emotions by performing different exercises of artistic drawing and body movement achieving a magnificent work environment: Hands in movement that contact a support creating a group composition, drawings that interpret texts by authors such as Chillida, plastic expression with exquisite corpse play, body movement creating symmetrical drawings without looking, creating human sculptures to the rhythm of music... We use different strategies to help shape emotions; the silence, the recorded music, the live musical performance. All this makes it possible for feelings and emotions to come to light. Like the sculptor Giacometti, we have been able to show what is below the subject. Methodology based on the study of multidisciplinary creative processes and their praxis, digitizing context and actions so that they are not ephemeral. We use a self-made questionnaire about the six basic emotions and the TMMS-24(Fdez. Berrocal, Extremera y Ramos, 2004) for the collection and analysis of data.El trabajo que presentamos es el resultado del taller “Estrategias, actividades y recursos para la didáctica del dibujo, la imagen y las artes plásticas” que forma parte de la asignatura: Aprendizaje y enseñanza en la especialidad de dibujo, imagen y artes plásticas, perteneciente al Master Oficial en Profesorado de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria y Bachillerato, Formación Profesional y Enseñanza de Idiomas de la Universidad de Cádiz. Curso 2018-2019. El estudio se ha llevado a cabo en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad de Cádiz, participando dieciocho alumnos con edades comprendidas entre los 23 y 31 años con diferente formación: Bellas Artes, Arquitectura, Comunicación, Diseño... Nuestro objetivo se ha centrado en desarrollar la creatividad por medio de las emociones realizando diferentes ejercicios de dibujo artístico y movimiento corporal consiguiendo un magnifico ambiente de trabajo: Manos en movimiento que se transforman en un dibujo sobre un soporte, conectándose entre ellas para crear una composición grupal, dibujos que interpretan textos de autores como Chillida, expresión plástica con el juego de cadáver exquisito, movimientos corporales simétricos que crean dibujos sin mirar, creación de esculturas humanas al ritmo de la música... Utilizamos diferentes estrategias para ayudar a plasmar las emociones; el silencio, la música grabada, la interpretación musical en directo. Todo ello hace posible que salgan a la luz sentimientos y emociones. Como el escultor Giacometti, estamos interesados en mostrar lo que hay debajo de la materia. Metodología basada en el estudio de procesos creativos multidisciplinares y su praxis, digitalizando contexto y acciones para que no sean efímeras. Utilizamos un cuestionario de elaboración propia sobre las seis emociones básicas y el TMMS-24 (Fdez. Berrocal, Extremera y Ramos, 2004) para la recogida y análisis de datos
Prueba de cribado mamográfico: cómo reciben la información y cómo quieren ser informadas las usuarias
Get PDFThere is currently intense international debate about the benefits of offering breast cancerscreening tests (BCST) to all women aged 50 and older, as it is not clear that they outweigh the risks. Also, public perception is unrealistic. Participants overestimate the benefits and are oblivious to the negative physical or psychological impact of overdiagnosis and false positives. In addition, there is no clear strategy to make easier for them to make informed decisions about their participation in the test. In this context, a deliberative democracy (DD) process was carried out in Cadiz (Spain) with the dual objective of knowing the opinion of the participants on the PCCM; and knowing which strategies they consider would improve the information reception process and facilitate informed decision making. Participated thirteen women between the ages of 50 and 65. The DD process took place over three afternoons: (1) information on mammographic screening was provided; (2) arguments weregiven for and against the PCCM; and (3) participants deliberated on the information provided, and proposed changes to the information they receive. Participants expressed their opinion about the BCST in terms of its objectives, the sources of information, and the people to whom it is addressed, the clarity of the information, and when and how they receive it. They also indicated how they would like to receive information about the BCST–mode of arrival—, the moment, the contents about which they would like to be informed, the target persons and the action protocol. It is concluded that it is necessary to know the point of view of the participants about the information that they receive of the BCST in order to improve their quality and adapt it to their needs.Actualmente existe un intenso debate sobre los beneficios de ofrecer las pruebas de cribado de cáncer de mama (PCCM) a todas las mujeres a partir de los 50 años, ya que no está claro que sean superiores a sus riesgos. Asimismo, la percepción pública no es realista. Las participantes sobreestiman los beneficios y están ajenas del impacto físico o psicológico negativo del sobrediagnóstico y de los falsos positivos. Además, no hay una estrategia clara para facilitar que tomen decisiones informadas acerca de su participación en la prueba. En este contexto, se llevó a cabo un proceso de Democracia Deliberativa (DD) en Cádiz (España) con el doble objetivo de conocer la opinión de las participantes sobre la información recibida acerca del PCCM; y saber qué estrategias consideran que mejorarían el proceso de recepción de información que facilitaría la toma de decisiones informada. Participaron trece mujeres de 50 a 65 años. El proceso de DD se llevó a cabo durante tres tardes: se suministró información sobre el cribado mamográfico; se dieron argumentos a favor y en contra del PCCM; las participantes deliberaron sobre la información suministrada, y propusieron cambios en la información que reciben. Las participantes expresaron su opinión sobre la información que reciben del PCCM en cuanto a sus objetivos, las fuentes de información y las destinatarias, la claridad de la misma, y cuándo y cómo la reciben. Asimismo, indicaron cómo les gustaría recibir información sobre la PCCM—canal de llegada de la misma—, el momento, los contenidos sobre los que les gustaría estar informadas, personas destinatarias y protocolo de actuación. Se concluye que es necesario conocer el punto de vista de las participantes en el PCCM para mejorar la información que reciben, adaptarla a sus necesidades y que puedan llevar a cabo una toma de decisiones informada sobre su participación
Descripción de una escala de actitudes hacia la matemática temprana (ESAMAT)
Get PDFWithin what is known as the affective domain, attitudes towards mathematics have received strong interest over the last decades. Several studies point out that attitudes are a key factor in understanding and explaining the of high students’ variability results in mathematics. However, currently there are few instrument available for math attitudes assessment in Spanish They are mostly targeted to colleges, high school, and primary school students. Few assessment tools are available for Early Childhood Education. This study aims to outline the design and development of an Early Mathematics Attitudes Scale (ESAMAT). The different phases for the instrument design are described. Likewise, the dimensions included within the general concept of attitudes are also exposed, such as: math enjoyment, perceived difficulty, math importance or usefulness, math self-concept and curiosity towards math. The early finding of a negative predisposition to mathematics can be very significant to reduce the risk of academic failure in mathematic.Dentro de lo que se conoce como dominio afectivo, las actitudes hacia las matemáticas han cobrado gran interés en las últimas décadas. Diversos estudios encuentran que estas son un factor clave a la hora de comprender y explicar la variabilidad de resultados de los estudiantes en matemáticas. No obstante, los instrumentos en castellano disponibles en la actualidad para medir estas actitudes no son muy numerosos y están destinados en su mayoría, a la etapa de Educación Secundaria. En menor medida, a la etapa universitaria y primaria. En la etapa de la Educación Infantil no se disponen de este tipo de instrumentos de evaluación. Este estudio trata de presentar el diseño y la elaboración de una Escala de Actitudes hacia la Matemática Temprana (ESAMAT). Se describen las diferentes etapas para el diseño de la prueba. Asimismo, se exponen las distintas dimensiones incluidas dentro del concento general de Actitudes, como son: el gusto hacia las matemáticas, la percepción de dificultad, la percepción de importancia, el autoconcepto matemático y la curiosidad hacia la materia. La detección precoz de una predisposición desfavorable a las matemáticas puede resultar de gran relevancia para disminuir el riesgo de fracaso académico en esta materia
Aspectos neuropsicológicos da linguagem em adolescentes em conflito com a lei
Get PDFThe following article aims to investigate and evaluate the neuropsychological language aspects of transgressors adolecents in conflict with the law. The study initiated through the application of FAS test (verbal fluency), as also the Vocabulary subtest of Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI) and the Cloze reading comprehension test. Twenty-five institutionalized adolecents in conflict with the law were selected in Ponta Grossa, Brazil. Also seventeen scholar teenagers on the absence of law conflicts from Curitiba, Brazil, were selected likewise. Either the selected group was male gender. It was identified a statistical significance difference on the FAS test (U = 122,00; p = 0,020), as well as the Vocabulary subtest (U = 108,50; p = 0,008). The adolecents in conflict with the law were compared, such as recidivist and nonrecidivist, however the results did not revel any significcant difference between these aspects. A sample of violations was analysed, involving homicide crimes and crimes with no homicides, and the results indicated a statistical significance difference on the FAS test (U = 35,50; p = 0.037). The presented results from the FAS test and the Vocabulary subtest of adolescents in conflict with law, infer that the low educational standards are not only related with cognitive issues or neuropsychological aspects, regarding the language features. It also requires the exploration others variables. The results also contributes to the literature review of language development, neuropsychological aspects of language and violations, supporting studies concerning forensic and neuropsychology.O presente estudo de pesquisa tem por objetivo investigar e avaliar os aspectos neuropsicológicos linguagem em adolescentes em conflito com lei. O estudo foi inicialmente realizado através de aplicação dos testes FAS (fluência Verbal), subteste Vocabulário da Escala Wechsler de Inteligência abreviada (WASI) e o teste de compreensão leitora de palavras de Cloze. Foram selecionados por conveniência 25 adolescentes institucionalizados em conflito com a lei da cidade de Ponta Grossa, Brasil e 17 adolescentes escolares sem conflito com a lei da cidade de Curitiba, Brasil, ambos os grupos do gênero masculino. Foi identificada diferença estatisticamente significativa no teste FAS (U = 122,00; p = 0,020) e no subteste Vocabulário (U = 108,50; p = 0,008). Foram também comparados os adolescentes em conflito com a lei, reincidentes e não reincidentes, mas não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre os dois grupos. Por fim, foi analisada a amostra de atos infracionais envolvendo crime de homicídio ou sem homicídio e foi possível identificar diferença estatisticamente significativa apenas no teste FAS (U = 35,50; p = 0.037). A partir dos resultados apresentados pelos adolescentes em conflito com a lei no teste FAS e no subteste Vocabulário é possível inferir que o baixo grau de instrução não está ligado apenas a questões cognitivas ou aspectos neuropsicológicos quando se trata de linguagem, mas que há outra variável a ser explorada. Os resultados apresentados trouxeram corroborações a literatura referente ao desenvolvimento da linguagem, seus aspectos neuropsicológicos e o ato infracional, dando suporte para próximas pesquisas voltadas a área forense e neuropsicológica
Niveles de burnout en docentes de secundaria: un estudio descriptivo analítico
Get PDFThe teaching staff is a particularly vulnerable group to develop the burnout syndrome, due to the affective and emo- tional components inherent in the professional profile. The incidence is higher in those who work in the stage of compulsory secondary education (12-16a) and post-compulsory (16-18a), with adolescent population, given the moment of vital changes of students and intense exposure to social interests on the one hand and, on the other hand, to the organizational idiosyncrasy of the educational centers and to the demands and academic pressures that the imminent access to the labor or training world entails for Higher Education. The objective of the study is to measure and interpret the experience of burnout in the participating teachers. It is a descriptive transversal design. The invited sample is composed of the high school teachers of the twenty-four Institutes of the province of Huesca (N=1.268) belonging to the public education network in the 2014/15 academic year, the voluntary participation forms an accepting sample of n=167 teachers (13.17%). For the measurement of burnout, the adaptation to Spanish (MBI-GS) of Salanova, Schaufeli, Llorens, Peiró and Grau (2000) is used through an on-line survey. The results indicate that the participating teachers have low burnout rates (1.20%), with high exhaustion and cynicism and low efficiency. One can think of a sub-declaration that would require complementary studies.El profesorado es especialmente vulnerable a desarrollar el síndrome de burnout debido a los componentes afectivos y emocionales inherentes al perfil profesional. La incidencia es más elevada en quienes trabajan en la etapa de enseñanza secundaria obligatoria (12-16a) y postobligatoria (16- 18a), con población adolescente, dado el momento de cambios vitales del alumnado y la exposición intensa a intereses sociales por un lado y, por otro, a la idiosincrasia organizativa de los centros educativos y a las demandas y presiones académicas que conlleva el inminente acceso al mundo laboral o formativo a la Enseñanza Superior. El objetivo del estudio es medir e interpretar la vivencia de burnout en los docentes participantes. Se trata de un diseño transversal descriptivo. La muestra invitada está compuesta por el profesorado de Educación Secundaria de los 24 Institutos de la provincia de Huesca (N=1.268) pertenecientes a la red pública de enseñanza en el curso 2014/15, la participación voluntaria conforma una muestra aceptante de n=167 docentes (13,17%). Para la medida del burnout se emplea la adaptación al castellano del (MBI-GS) de Salanova, Schaufeli, Llorens, Peiró y Grau (2000), mediante encuesta on-line. Los resultados indican que el profesorado participante presenta bajos índices de burnout (1,20%), con agotamiento y cinismo elevados y eficacia baja. Cabe pensar en una subdeclaración que precisaría estudios complementarios
Deterioro cognitivo en los usuarios del servicio de ayuda a domicilio desde la perspectiva de género
Get PDFThis report aims to know the level of cognitive deterioration of the Home Help Service (Servicio de Ayuda a Domicilio, SAD) users, to somehow understand if this is the main cause of the request for this service, and if from the gender perspective can exist some differences in the demand for mentioned social activity. According to the National Statistics Institute (Instituto Nacional de Estadística, INE) as of January 1, 2019, the population in Spain reached almost 47 million citizens, and more than 9.12 million are over 65 years of age. Although the SAD is aimed to all people without age range; it is true that a significantly higher percentage of its users are those who are in the “Senior Citizens” group. This community service is directed to all those families and / or subjects with different degrees of difficulty to carry out daily, dairy activities, in their own homes. According to different studies such as the one carried out by Álvarez, Mercader and Sicilia (2007), “age does determine the degree of basic autonomy”; there are also differences in cognitive impairment in addition to the percentage of people affected by gender.En esta comunicación se pretende conocer el nivel de deterioro cognitivo de los usuarios del Servicio de Ayuda Domicilio (SAD), para de alguna manera comprender si éste es la principal causa de la solicitud de este servicio, y si desde la perspectiva de género pueden existir algunas diferencias en la demanda de dicha actividad social. Según el Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE) a fecha del 1 de enero de 2019 la población en España asciende a casi 47 millones de ciudadanos, de los cuales, más de 9,12 millones son mayores de 65 años. Aunque el SAD está orientado a todas las personas sin rango de edad; bien es cierto que un porcentaje significativamente superior de sus usuarios son aquellos que se encuentran dentro del grupo “Tercera Edad”. Este servicio comunitario está dirigido hacia todas aquellas familias y/o sujetos con diferentes grados de dificultad para realizar las actividades diarias, cotidianas, en sus propios domicilios. Según diferentes estudios como el llevado a cabo por Álvarez, Mercader y Sicilia (2007), “la edad sí condiciona el grado de autonomía básica”; también se hayan diferencias en el deterioro cognitivo además del porcentaje de afectados en función del género
Valoración del paciente geriátrico en el servicio de medicina interna
Get PDFIntroduction: The increase in the population of the elderly, added to the increase in pluripatology and polypharmacy, makes their admission to hospitals more and more frequent. Objectives: To establish the profile of the geriatric patient older than 75 years, with pluripatology and treated in the Internal Medicine Unit of the Virgen de la Concha Hospital. Analyze the results of the functional assessment through the Barthel scale. Identify the social situation through the Gijón scale. Methods: Retrospective observational study in the internal medicine hospitalization unit over a year. Descriptive analysis of variables: demographic (age, sex); functional capacity and social assessment. The data obtained from the Gacela Care software application. Results: 1285 admissions were made, with an average age of 78 years. A sample of 915 patients ≥75 years old was obtained, with a mean age of 85.9 ± 5.4 years (75-101), mode 89 and median 86 years. 43.5% are ≥85 years. 53.11% women and 46.88% men. Average hospital stay 7.4 ± 5.2 days (0-66). Dependency assessment: 38.57% with total dependence (62.32% women); 9.61% severe dependence (54.54% women); 15.19% moderate dependence (54.67% women); 26.22% mild dependence (47.08% women); 10.38% independent (30.56% women). Social situation: 28.80% without risk (64.63% women); 60.30% good social situation (47.37% women); 6.2% average social situation (56.60% women); and 4.68% severe social deterioration (52.5% women) Conclusions: The profile of the patients studied approximates that of “geriatric patient”. The highest percentage presents a level of total dependence, causing greater demand for care and resources. There are few patients with severe social impairment. There are a greater number of total dependent patients without institutionalizing. Therefore, the burden of care for these patients is carried out by family members from home, justifying the importance of the assessment of caregivers and evaluation of resources related to family overload and primary caregiver.Introducción: El aumento de la población de personas mayores, añadido al aumento de pluripatología y polifarmacia, hace cada vez más frecuente su ingreso en los hospitales. Objetivos: Establecer el perfil del paciente geriátrico mayor de 75 años, con pluripatología y atendido en la Unidad de Medicina Interna del Hospital Virgen de la Concha. Analizar los resultados de la valoración funcional a través de la escala Barthel. Identificar la situación social a través de la escala Gijón. Métodos: Estudio observacional retrospectivo en la unidad de hospitalización de medicina interna a lo largo de un año. Análisis descriptivo de variables: demográficas (edad, sexo); capacidad funcional y la valoración social. Los datos obtenidos del aplicativo informático Gacela Care. Resultados: Se realizaron 1285 ingresos, con una media de edad de 78 años. Se obtuvo una muestra de 915 pacientes ≥75años, con una media de edad de 85,9±5,4años (75-101), moda 89 y mediana 86 años. El 43,5% son ≥85años. 53,11% mujeres y 46,88% hombres. Estancia media de hospitalización 7,4±5,2días (0-66). Valoración de dependencia: 38,57% con dependencia total (62,32% mujeres);9,61% dependencia grave (54,54% mujeres); 15,19% dependencia moderada (54,67% mujeres); 26,22% dependencia leve (47,08% mujeres); 10,38% independientes (30,56% mujeres). Situación social: 28,80%sin riesgo (64,63%mujeres); 60,30%situación social buena (47,37%mujeres); 6,2% situación social media (56,60%mujeres); y el 4,68% deterioro social severo (52,5% mujeres) Conclusiones: El perfil de los pacientes estudiados se aproxima al de “paciente geriátrico”. El mayor porcentaje presenta un nivel de dependencia total, provocando mayor demanda de cuidados y de recursos. Existen pocos pacientes con deterioro social severo. Hay un mayor número de pacientes dependientes totales sin institucionalizar. Por lo que la carga de cuidados de estos pacientes la realizan familiares desde el domicilio, justificando la importancia de la valoración de los cuidadores y evaluación de los recursos referidos a la sobrecarga de familias y cuidador principal

Adolescentes ecuatorianos con altos y bajos niveles de rechazo escolar por la búsqueda de la atención de otras personas significativas y sus diferencias con perfeccionismo
Get PDFSeveral investigations summarize perfectionism as a set of clearly negative features which is especially worrying in the adolescence stage due to peer and family pressure at social, academic, sports and cultural levels among others, an issue that becomes a feature pathological. On the other hand, there is a group of children and young people who refuse to go to school in order to get the attention of others. That is, it creates anxiety for the separation of the family figure. In the present study, it was intended to observe if there are statistically significant differences in perfectionism with Ecuadorian adolescents with high and small scores in the pursuit of attention from significant others. For this, the Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (CAPS) and the School Refusal Assessment Scale-Revised for Children (SRAS-R-C) were used. The total sample of participants was 1920 adolescents aged between 15 and 18 enrolled in courses between 1st and 3rd Baccalaureate. The differences found are found in both school rejection groups for Socially Prescribed Perfectionism (SPP), Self-Oriented Perfectionism-Strivings (SOP-S) and Self-Oriented Perfectionism-Critical (SOP-C), with the students with the highest level of school rejection those who scored highest in SPP (d = .17), SOPS (d = .15) and SOP-C (d = .35). In this regard, it is necessary to expand research in this field of study taking into account the vulnerability in adolescents’ personality and the association with a multitude of psychopathological disorders with which perfectionism correlates according toprevious literature.Diversas investigaciones resumen el perfeccionismo como un conjunto de rasgos claramente negativos los cuales son especialmente preocupantes en la etapa de la adolescencia debido a la presión por compañeros y familiares a nivel social, académico, deportivo y cultural entre otros, cuestión que se transforma en un rasgo patológico. Por otro lado, existe un colectivo de población infanto-juvenil que rechaza ir a la escuela con la finalidad de llamar la atención de los demás. Es decir, les crea ansiedad ante la separación de la figura familiar. En el presente estudio se pretendía observar si existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas en perfeccionismo con adolescentes ecuatorianos con elevadas y pequeñas puntuaciones en la búsqueda de la atención de otras personas significativas. Para ello se utilizó el Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (CAPS) y la School Refusal Assessment Scale-Revised for Children (SRAS-R-C). La muestra total de participantes fue de 1920 adolescentes de edades comprendidas entre 15 y 18 años matriculados en cursos entre 1º y 3º de Bachillerato. Las diferencias halladas se dan en ambos grupos de rechazo escolar para el Perfeccionismo Socialmente Prescrito (PSP), Perfeccionismo Auto Orientado-Esfuerzos (PAOE) y el Perfeccionismo Auto Orientado – Crítica (PAO-C), siendo los estudiantes con mayor nivel de rechazo escolar los que puntuaron más elevado en PSP (d = .17), PAO-E (d = 15) y PAO-C (d = .35). A este respecto, es necesario ampliar la investigación en este campo de estudio teniendo en cuenta la vulnerabilidad en la personalidad de los adolescentes y la asociación con multitud de trastornos psicopatológicos con los que correlaciona el perfeccionismo según la literatura previa
Educação sexual e legitimadade do professor de ensino básico: um estudo comparativo entre Brasil e Portugal
No full textBeing part of a wider PhD research, this paper aims to present initial reflections about the regulation of Sex Education (ES) and the legitimacy of the teacher in Early Years of Elementary School, in Brazil, and 1st Cycle of Basic Education (1st CEB), in Portugal, for their approach to children, particularly on issues related to sexuality and gender. In Portugal, Sex Education is compulsory from the 1st CEB since the approval of Law No. 60/2009 of August 6. Otherwise, in Brazil, with the approval in 2018 of the Common National Curriculum Base (Base Nacional Comum Curricular – BNCC), the terms Sexual Orientation and gender were suppressed. The suppression of these terms becomes problematic since it makes invisible discussions on issues related to sexuality and gender, such as body awareness and respect for diversity, which are also covered by the BNCC. Being a comparative study based on a qualitative methodology, at this stage will be made a documentary analysis of the Sexual Education guiding documents in both countries. This article will specifically address the diagnosis step of the research regarding the first results of documentary analysis of legislation and official documents in relation to the topics of this research. The compulsory sexuality education in Portugal made possible a systematic and specific work in dealing with sexuality and gender issues, with monitoring and evaluation of work in schools. In relation to the Brazilian reality, the challenges are different. It is also believed that not explaining the work in Sexuality Education in the Early Years of Elementary School hurts the right of access to information and the knowledge building on the subject.Sendo parte de uma investigação mais ampla de doutoramento, este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar reflexões iniciais acerca da regulamentação da Educação Sexual (ES) e da legitimidade do professor de Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, no Brasil, e de 1.° Ciclo do Ensino Básico (1.º CEB), em Portugal, para a sua abordagem junto das crianças, nomeadamente dos temas relacionados à sexualidade e género. Em Portugal, a Educação Sexual é obrigatória a partir do 1.° CEB desde a aprovação da Lei n.º 60/2009 de 6 de agosto. Já no Brasil, com a aprovação em 2018 da Base Nacional Comum Curricular, os termos Orientação Sexual e género foram suprimidos. A supressão destes termos torna-se problemática no sentido em que invisibiliza as discussões sobre temas relacionados à sexualidade e género, como conhecimento do corpo e respeito à diversidade, que também estão contemplados na BNCC. Sendo um estudo comparativo seguindo uma metodologia qualitativa, nesta fase proceder-se-á a uma análise documental dos documentos orientadores da ES nos dois países. Neste artigo, abordar-se-á, especificamente, a fase de diagnóstico da pesquisa no que diz respeito aos primeiros resultados da análise documental das legislações e documentos oficiais em relação aos temas da investigação.Percebe-se que a obrigatoriedade da Educação Sexual em Portugal possibilitou um trabalho sistemático e específico no trato dos temas sexualidade e questões de género, com acompanhamento e avaliação do trabalho nas escolas. Já em relação à realidade brasileira os desafios são diferentes. Acredita-se também que não explicitar o trabalho em Educação Sexual nos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental fere o direito de acesso à informação e construção de conhecimento acerca do tema
