Escola em foco: gênero e sexualidade a partir do olhar de estudantes de pedagogia

Abstract

This Course Completion Work (CBT) aims to reflect on what the final and pre-finishing students of the Pedagogy course at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) say about the approach of gender and sexuality in schools. The empirical material was produced by means of a questionnaire, whose application took place in person and online. Gender and sexuality are taken as social and pedagogical constructs, which means that we learn and teach about gender and sexuality in various social instances and relationships. As a result, it is possible to perceive that the educators in formation agree that the issues in question need to be addressed, however, there is also resistance on the part of some of them so that these issues are worked out in the schools. Thus, this CBT points to the importance of approaching issues of gender and sexuality, particularly in the curricula of training Pedagogy professionals, as a way to contribute to the construction of a more equitable, respectful and less unequal society.
