Gênero e sexualidade nas aulas de Educação Física escolar em Goiânia: entre questionamentos, conflitos e “escolas sem partido”

Abstract

The research aimed to evaluate whether Physical Education teachers from municipal and/or state schools in Goiânia have addressed issues about gender and sexuality in their classes, about the consequences of anti-gender discourses in the training and practice of these teachers. Thus, the work will discuss whether issues of gender and sexuality are addressed during classes, seeking to identify the positions, conceptions and pedagogical approach (of teachers) applied to the themes and contents of Physical Education. Following a qualitative approach supported by feminist studies, we chose to carry out bibliographical and field research, where we used as an information collection procedure a semi-structured questionnaire with five questions, answered by six Physical Education teachers from the public school system in Goiânia. The conclusion shows that, although the majority of participants are in favor of implementing sexual education programs in schools, there is a disparity between what is described in the National Curricular Parameters and what is actually being taught. This is particularly evident due to the restrictions imposed by conservative government policies, as well as the reluctance of teachers to discuss this topic in their classes. Keywords (ou Palabras clave): Gender; Sexuality; School physical education.
