Abstract

Teaching practice in sexuality education seen from a professional praxis perspective implies a series of competences and attitudes that go beyond the simple teaching of content. The research objective is described as generating a theorisation of teaching practice in sexuality education from a connotation of professional praxis. This article was developed from a phenomenological approach, with the participation of 10 key informants who teach in secondary education, selected with the purpose of deepening their experiences and meanings attributed to the teaching of sexuality education. This theorisation shows how teachers build their practice around adaptability, respect and the development of critical skills, configuring sexuality education as an integral formative space and contributing to the strengthening of a school culture that promotes equity, respect and reflection on sexuality and diversity.
