Abstract

Aiming at working out in detail the state of knowledge of the academic and scientific production of Sexual Education in Brazil, during the period comprising 1980 to 1993, the analysis of Dissertations, Theses, books, journal articles and other works presented in scientific events was carried out. One of the goals was to investigate the basic terminology adopted to refer to Sexual Education and the concepts of Sexual Education present in the publications. The lack of pattern for basic terminology as well as the lack of a clear and straight forward theatrical position regarding the concept of Sexual Education were detected. Besides, differences, incoherence and/or confusions were also found, in some texts, in the attempts made to classify the types of Sexual Education. Theoretical subsidiaries which lead to uniform and scientifically valid patterning of basic terminology, conceptualization and classification are presented in this work.
