Integral Sex Education (ISE) in a Preschool Teaching Program during the Pandemic

Abstract

Integral Sex Education (ISE) constitutes an expression of the current pedagogical discourse. This work is based on the research project entitled “Integral Sex Education in the priority curriculum of the Preschool Teaching Program (PTP) at Bahia Blanca,” which took place at the Instituto Superior de Formación Docente No3 and was funded by the Instituto Nacional de Formación Docente (INFoD) in 2021. From a qualitative approach, we addressed what role ISE took in the priority curriculum as well as what approaches were taken to teach ISE during the pandemic (academic years 2020 and 2021), both at the PTP and at the preschools where students carried out their practices. In this article we present results from one specific analysis. We especially focus on student voices towards their experiences with teaching ISE in modified environments such as distance, virtual and hybrid learning.
