RESUMO

The goal of the present study is to investigate the subjective barriers and personal difficulties related to teaching Sexual Orientation (SO) lessons, as it can negatively interfere on this activity. The study was based on the principles of sociohistoric theory in Psychology and on those of French Clinic of Activity. The subject was a 6th grade teacher of a municipal public school, who volunteered to give SO lessons. Data collection involved observations of teacher/pupils interaction in activities not related to SO, VHS tape recordings of all SO lessons, and an in-depth interview with the teacher, for a better knowing of the aspects considered important to the study. From the VHS tapes, three episodes were selected for further analysis, hence they had been considered able to elucidate some of the contradictions found between teachers speech and what is generally prescribed for giving SO lessons. The episodes revealed that, without the support of school and its community, the teacher feared touching polemic and difficult themes linked to SO and avoided discussing them with their students. Choosing to remain herself in the safe biological aspects of human reproduction system, the teacher disabled the manifestation of other difficulties concerning the SO themes. The lack of specific professional formation in SO may have contributed to not allowing the teacher to approach the contents of this discipline with her students nor to discuss the importance of these lessons with the school personnel and broader community
