Abstract
Abstract The patent contents in textbooks are selected according to the scientific knowledge (K), values (V) and social practice (P). These three variables are the elements of the educational model, KVP, developed by Clément. The aim of this study was to analyze the Sexual Education approach on textbooks, relating to STD/AIDS and condoms in 15 8th grade Science textbooks, distributed in Brazil by PNLD in 2014. The data were collected based on two analytical matrices constructed within the European Biohead-Citizen Project and analyzed using the KVP model. The results show that despite the small improvement in the type of image present in textbooks, human bodies are still presented in a sectional shape and the images found are not very enlightening regarding sexual intercourse. As for the educational style textual content, only two books were classified in informative and participative category, aspect that indicates limitations on the openness to dialogue about sexuality in most of the analyzed books.
