Gênero e Diversidade na Escola: limites e possibilidades na formação de professores(as).

Abstract

The school environment is a privileged place for the production and reproduction of knowledge and culture. Discrimination of gender, race and ethinicity, and sexual orientation, as well as sexist violence, are produced and reproduced in all spaces of brazilian social life. This research aims to analyze the meanings on gender and sexuality, in the school subjects "Gender" and "Sexuality ans sexual orientation", in the foruns of discussion of the continuing education course entitled "Gender and Diversity at Scholl" (GDE). Considering that the school is a privileged place for production and reproduction of knowledge, we took this course for analysis. The GDE, from the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), Regional Catalão, which is part of this research s corpus, is a reality thanks to the distance education (EaD), that enables education professionals to get to know and debate those themes, which cross the classroom daily, making it possible for the construction of a less sexist and more inclusive education. The research is fundamented on social constructionism, movement due to the emergency of new dialogs and new voices in response to the transformations that occurred in the world of ideas and prefessional practices. This research was conducted in the Moodle plataform, hosted in the UFG campus Catalão and has documents of public domain and the transcripts from discussion foruns of the subjcts "Gender " and "Sexuality and sexual orientation", from the GDE course as its source of information. The analysis reveals that the meanings assigned to these concepts still carry a load of prejudice and stereotypes present in people s daily life, and therefore, considered controversial.
