Pesquisas sobre gênero e sexualidade na educação infantil

Abstract

This work aims to introduce the following problematic: to what extent the researches about gender and sexuality may be approached in the school context in a way to promote a non-sexist education in kindergarten education? In this perspective, some research papers were found in Google academic and Scielo platform based on the key words: gender, sexuality and kindergarten education, reaching a total of twelve works, among them, five monographs, six scientific articles and a doctoral thesis. The methodology approach was the qualitative – descriptive. It was found on the works researched that there is a great difficulty in approaching gender and sexuality, partially because there is a deficiency in teacher formation when it comes to this theme, what results in the replication of prejudices when there is a great political drawback, that reaches directly the approach to this question, especially in the pedagogical environment. As a conclusion, although there are a number of taboos being broken, there is still a considerable social resistance to the debate on this theme in the classroom.
