Tema do aborto nas aulas de Sociologia

Abstract

Report on the experience of a High School teacher, carried out in a public school of the Eastern São Paulo City area which, based on the Durkheim principles, introduces research and debate on the abortion theme into Sociology classes. The teacher guides student research in several sources, ranging from newspapers and magazines, Internet pages, didactic books, to scientific articles and even uses interviews with doctors, lawyers and women who have already had abortions. The goal of this work is to give the students a possibility to form opinions based on fact and on scientific data, making them go beyond common sense and dogmatic views.
