• Resumen

  • Affective-sexual education programs are a tool for curricular specification and complementarity that allow to raise awareness, deepen and make visible queer knowledge in educational institutions. The aim of this paper is to review the affective-sexual education programs at the national level in primary education. The methodology employed in this study consisted in a qualitative synthesis review. To this end, a search was carried out in the SCOPUS, LATINDEX, DIALNET, GOOGLE ACADEMIC and GOOGLE search engine databases, using the following keywords: "program", "educational program", "LGTBI+", "affective-sexual education", "sexual and gender diversities", "sex-gender diversities", "queer", and "Primary Education". The results show a total of 18 programs addressing different topics. The topics are varied, and reference has been made to contents such as: sex, gender, human body, gender perspective, gender orientation, and gender identity. Results showed a variety of activities that may be carried out in the classrooms to work affective-sexual diversity since early childhood education. One of the main conclusions of the study is that educational centers must commit to making schools safe spaces free of LGTBIQ+phobia.
