Abstract(s)
O abuso sexual de menores é uma realidade ainda existente na nossa sociedade. Este, sendo um tipo de maus-tratos infantis, é também considerado um crime público, de natureza sexual. Neste sentido, e tendo em consideração a escassa intervenção em idade pré-escolar, surge assim a presente investigação intitulada Educação sexual em idade pré-escolar: a prevenção como fator protetor do abuso sexual. Esta investigação foi realizada na valência de pré-escolar de uma Instituição Particular de Solidariedade Social (I.P.S.S), localizada no concelho de Loulé e contou com a participação de 24 crianças e de uma educadora de infância.
Com este estudo procurou-se compreender as conceções de crianças com idades compreendidas entre os 3 e os 5 anos de idade, acerca das diversas conceções da educação sexual, tendo como questão de partida: Em que medida as crianças em idade pré-escolar apresentam conhecimentos preventivos do abuso sexual? Empiricamente, e de modo a atingir os objetivos propostos descritos no capítulo IV, utilizou-se uma metodologia de cariz qualitativo, sendo este um método que se enquadra numa abordagem de natureza descritiva. As técnicas de recolhas de dados presentes no estudo são: observação, conversas informais, notas de campo, registos audiovisuais, pesquisa bibliográfica, inquéritos por entrevista, e a análise de conteúdo. Em relação aos resultados, estes demonstraram que, numa fase inicial, as crianças não tinham qualquer tipo de conceção acerca da temática. No entanto, após uma intervenção pedagógica contextualizada, observou-se que as crianças demonstraram adquirir novos conhecimentos relativamente à noção do corpo e à segurança do mesmo, partilhando este conhecimento no seio familiar.
The sexual abuse of minors is a reality that still exists in our society. This, being a type of child abuse, is also considered a public crime of sexual nature. In this sense and considering the rare intervention in pre-school age, emerges the present research entitled Sexual education in pre-school age: prevention as a protective factor against sexual abuse. This investigation was carried out in the preschool department of a Private Institution of Social Solidarity located in Loulé and was able to count with the involvement of 24 children and a kindergarten teacher. With this study we meant to understand the conceptions of children, between 3 and 6 years old, about the various conceptions of sex education, starting by questioning: “Do preschool children present any knowledge of how to prevent sexual abuse?”. Empirically, and to achieve the proposed objectives (chapter IV), it was used a qualitative methodology, contained in the descriptive paradigm, where a variety of data collection techniques were used: observation, informal conversations, field notes, audiovisual records, interview surveys and content analysis. Twenty-four children, two assistants and the nursery schoolteacher of the respective classroom participated in this study. Regarding the results, they showed that, at an initial stage, the children had no conceptions whatsoever about topic. However, after a contextualized pedagogical intervention, it was observed that the children demonstrated that they had acquired knowledge regarding the notion of the body and its safety, sharing this knowledge with their family.
