Gênero e sexualidade sob a perspectiva de docentes da educação básica brasileira: uma revisão integrativa

Abstract

The subjects gender and sexuality still raise much controversy in the Brazilian educational context. In recent years, conservative movements have managed to block the inclusion of such topics in the main educational documents and legislation. However, it cannot be denied that these topics permeate the school environment and are part of students' demands and, therefore, cannot be neglected by educators. Thus, the present work aimed to carry out an integrative review of the literature in search of research that brings the perspective of Brazilian Basic Education teachers on gender and sexuality at school. To this end, the integrative review was conducted on the basis of the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and the CAPES Periodicals Portal, with a time frame from 2016 to 2021. The results showed that most Brazilian teachers lack basic knowledge about gender and sexuality and present a vision of these themes based on the heteronormative model. Therefore, it is essential that undergraduate courses and continuing education courses for teachers include these themes in their curricula, so that Basic Education has trained professionals to deal with LGBT+ students and mitigate situations of prejudice and discrimination
