The methodological approach was carried out through a qualitative research whose data collection was developed by the application of a questionnaire with the teachers. The results of the research indicate that the teachers see the students' interest in the subject, recognize the importance of working on these themes and some of the shortcomings that the Pedagogy course presents in relation to the disciplines that discuss subjects related to sexuality and diversity.
