Abstract

Addressing the theme sexuality since childhood to adolescence is relevant, however, despite the standardization of inclusion of sex education in schools, what is observed are educational projects in biologicist perspective. Gaps left in this perspective demonstrate the need to use educational technologies with the purpose of sex education directed to the achievement of autonomy and informed decision of adolescents. Educational technologies are resources for the formation of a critical conscience for a healthy life. Thus, the need to develop and use educational material to arouse interest, criticality and autonomy of preteens as well as make it possible a significant, playful and fun learning was felt. The comic (HQ), although old, still enchants different age groups. This study aimed to analyze the comic book called "Puberty: what happens to me" of the serie Sexuality and Education as a pedagogical resource directed to the promotion of sexual and reproductive health of preteens; identify characteristics and / or concepts in comics that can be improved or modified; validate the comic as to the validity of content and appearance, encompassing clarity, relevance and representativeness. Its construction was based on the theory of social interaction of Lev Vygotsky Seminovitch. This is a methodological study which focused on the content of a comic based on the evaluation of ten judges, distributed among basic education teachers, researchers and the primary care network professionals in the period from May to October 2015.

The data was described and, for analysis, we used the Content Validity Index (CVI) to measure the proportion of participants who are in agreement on the panels or items of Comics. In appearance and content validation, judges made several suggestions, however there was a tendency of the judges to choose the answers accordingly. Most of the answers in the block of clarity was in the clear (46) and very clear (40), reaching the expected level of agreement of 86% and of the block of representativeness was in representative (58) and extremely representative (34), reaching an agreement level of 83%, demonstrating that the pedagogical resource was considered valid.
