Desafios da escola em diversidade sexual: visão realista e situacional

Abstract

This dealt with the challenges and difficulties of teachers in working to match gender and sexual diversity at school, and focused on analyzing the importance of gender and diversity, based on the principles of human rights education, in undergraduate and postgraduate courses teacher graduation.The importance of this theme emerges from the fact that contemporary society determines heteronormative, conservative models and gender stereotypes, which are socio-historical-culturally ingrained.The present research is of a qualitative nature, carried out through bibliographic review in periodicals and books, which aimed to understand how the role of the educator is preponderant in combating discriminatory, vexing actions, deconstructing the camouflaged prejudice.Thus, it was observed that the school continues to reproduce old paradigms of omission, marginalizing content related to the theme.Therefore, due importance and responsibility are not given in the formation of references, representations, subjectivities and identities.The school institution needs to have environments, teaching materials, methodologies and professionals that enable the practice of values, equality and mutual respect for different races / ethnicities, gender identities and sexual orientations. Nevertheless, discussions on the need for gender and diversity in undergraduate and specialization courses are pertinent. It is therefore necessary to develop public educational policies within the scope of Human Rights, conduct training and information in order to break with existing patterns of prejudice.Thus, it is intended to build an educational model that excels in diversity and social inclusion, understanding that the school, as a social arrangement, must be the place par excellence for teaching-learning, with the intention of training critical people and questioning the current reality.
