The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a HIV/AIDS module, taught for approximately 24 hours over eight weeks in six schools, on the knowledge, behaviour and attitudes of grade 11 biology learners, and to identify problems their teachers had in teaching the module. The module contains detailed scientific content on HIV/AIDS and outcomes-based assessment activities. The answers written by each learner in a pre-, post- and retention test and questionnaire that included both open and closed questions on general and functional knowledge, attitudes and skills were analysed for significant changes. A narrative written by each learner was analysed to determine how the module had dealt with issues that affected his I her life. A structured interview was conducted with each teacher to identify difficulties he I she experienced in implementing the module. Classroom observations were used to monitor the implementation of the intervention in order to provide information to verify the findings of the tests, questionnaires, narratives and interviews. Analysis of the tests and questionnaires showed a significant improvement in the means scored in the pre, post- and retention tests. An ANOVA showed that the difference was unlikely to be attributable to chance. Narrative analysis resulted in a number of common themes being identified. The learners were profoundly glad to have been taught this information and many of them provided evidence of how the module impacted on their lives and sexual behaviour. Their knowledge has empowered and motivated them to control their own lives. The teacher interviews established some of the common difficulties that the teachers experienced in teaching the module. These were verified by the classroom observations. The main problems were the lack of facilities and limited time to teach about HIV/AIDS. / Dissertation (MEd (Curriculum and Instructional Design and Development))--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Curriculum Studies / unrestricted

The proposed problem in the research was based on a professional experience in the Health Care area, more specifically, in the attendance to the HIV positive young and teenage public. The objectives of the study were to identify and investigate, through young adults’ memories, the experiences of positive HIV teenage students, infected by vertical transmission. Using the qualitative methodology of the Oral History, the survey was conducted at the Extension Service to HIV/AIDS Patients of the Sao Paulo University’s Medicine College’s General Hospital. Hence, eight young adults born between January/1995 and January/1998, of both sexes, with HIV through mother-to-child transmission and graduated in high school were selected to the individual interview. The theoretical basis presents: Morin, (2003), Goffman (2004), Matida and Gianna (2014), Sommerhalder (2010), Lang, Campos and Demartini (2010), Toledo (2011), Meihy e Ribeiro (2011) among others. The discussion shows ten categories where was found, through the interviewees’ narratives, how the silence about health conditions set in the educational environment. The lack of information on the subject still prevails and the stigma created around the HIV/AIDS epidemic, started in the 80s, has not been overcome yet. The life paths of these young individuals living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are part of the trajectory of the fight against the HIV/AIDS infection either in Brazil as worldwide, not only in the biological aspect, but also in the social, family and cultural areas involving the daily lives of individuals with HIV. Respondents highlighted the need for media coverage serving for HIV prevention and strong update for teachers. The conclusions aim at the presentation of the study to the advertising campaigns area of the IST Department, AIDS and Viral Hepatitis, to the DST/AIDS-SP Reference Center and Training and to the dialogue between Education and Health in the teachers’ training area. / Esta pesquisa apresenta as memórias de jovens adultos com o vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV) pela transmissão vertical (desde o nascimento) sobre o período da adolescência na escola. O problema foi pautado sobre uma experiência profissional na área da saúde, no atendimento ao público jovem e adolescente vivendo com HIV. Os objetivos foram os de identificar e investigar, a partir das memórias de jovens adultos, as experiências de adolescentes escolares soropositivos pela transmissão vertical. Por meio da metodologia qualitativa da História Oral a pesquisa foi realizada no Serviço de Extensão ao Atendimento de Pacientes HIV/Aids do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. Foram selecionados para a entrevista individual, oito jovens adultos nascidos entre janeiro/1995 até janeiro/1998, de ambos os sexos, com HIV pela transmissão vertical e com o Ensino Médio concluído. A base teórica apresenta: Morin, (2003), Goffman (2004), Matida e Gianna (2014), Sommerhalder (2010), Lang; Campos e Demartini (2010), Toledo (2011), Meihy e Ribeiro (2011) e outros de igual relevância. A discussão apresenta dez categorias com as quais, pela narrativa dos entrevistados foi possível constatar como o silêncio sobre a condição de saúde se ajustou ao meio educacional. A falta de informação sobre o tema ainda impera e o estigma criado em torno da epidemia HIV/AIDS iniciada na década de 80 ainda não foi superado. A história da vida desses jovens adultos com HIV faz parte da trajetória do combate à infecção do HIV/AIDS tanto no Brasil como no mundo, não somente no aspecto biológico, mas também nas esferas social, familiar e cultural que envolvem o cotidiano das pessoas com HIV. Os entrevistados ressaltaram a necessidade da veiculação de informações na mídia para prevenção do HIV e uma sólida atualização dos professores. As conclusões visam a apresentação do estudo à área de campanhas publicitárias do Departamento de IST, AIDS e Hepatites Virais, ao Centro de Referência e Treinamento DST/AIDS-SP e à interlocução da educação com a saúde na área formação dos professores
