Gênero, sexualidade e prática docente: desafios e perspectivas na educação

Abstract

This final work of the Full Degree Pedagogy Course, at the Education Center, at the Federal University of Santa Maria aims to analyze and understand how teaching practice can be rewarded to promote the recognition and appreciation of differences in the school context, especially in relation to issues of gender and sexuality. The study seeks to contextualize the culture of hate in the country, investigating its motivations and effects on society, especially on minority groups, such as LGBTQIAPN+ people and cisgender women. The research investigates gender and sexuality disparities in the classroom, identifying sociocultural processes that marginalize groups that distance themselves from the standards of cisheteronormative culture in Brazil, especially with regard to teaching. The objective is to understand how the promotion of pedagogical approaches that involve issues of gender and sexuality in the classroom educators working in the first stages of basic education, play an important role in transforming society, reflecting how education can be one of the tools responsible for reducing violence and the prejudice faced by LGBTQIAPN+ people and cisgender women in the country. This change would be facilitated through decolonizing pedagogical approaches, which not only challenge discriminatory foundations but also promote respect for difference in the school context. The research covers four chapters, from the introduction and context of the study to the reflection on how the results considered for a plural focusing on social equity. We used a qualitative approach as a methodology, with a descriptive objective of a hypothetical-deductive method, through bibliographic studies. Throughout this research, it will be possible to analyze challenges related to issues of gender and sexuality in teaching practice, based on the hypotheses of a comprehensive curriculum, continued training and teachers prepared to guarantee a school that represents all alternatives of being and existing, as well as their potential.
