Diversidade de gênero: desafios para a formação docente

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to investigate the challenges of teacher education for gender diversity. Through the third wave of feminism in the 1990s, the term "gender" became popularized, the struggle for equal rights between men and women, in addition to proposing new ways of thinking about male and female issues, made the word gender become an object of study and a way of dividing society through sex. Society has established a social organization, where it imposes concepts such as "girl does not play ball" or "boy does not dance", after all, being a boy and a girl is not restricted to these characteristics and established concepts. Therefore, discussing gender in schools becomes essential, because it is in the school environment that children socialize, know and learn about new cultures, ethical, moral values, etc. In this sense, someone needs to be prepared to speak, reflect and clarify about gender in schools, no one better than the educator, the same should speak about this subject in a didactic way, so that their students learn to respect the differences, dealing with gender is also about human rights, seeking union, respect and more important to seek a culture of peace. Therefore, the present work, through a bibliographic review, supports the studies of Auad (2018), Lins (2016), Louro (2014), Nunes (2011), among others.
