Conceptions and social perceptions of Basic Education teachers about sexual and gender diversity
The school, a space of socialization par excellence, serves as a stage for the identity construction of those who attend and operates in a pretended and unpretentious way in the establishment and reproduction of ways of interpreting and interacting with the world and the experiences lived in it. As important agents in these processes that take place on the school scene, teachers must always act critically to their practices in order to avoid and possibly break social stigmas by constantly being aware of their historical-cultural roots so that they do not perpetuate them even than innocent way through attitudes, perceptions and conceptions socially constructed but passed on in a naturalized, unquestionable and "truthful" way. Namely, ideas that perpetuate suffocating and advantageous human hierarchies to a hegemonic elite that relies on the inferiorization of other bodies, especially women and LGBTs. Given the changes in the context of educational policies caused by the approval of the BNCC we aim to better understand the conceptions and social perceptions of 14 teachers about sexual and gender diversity in parallel with the aforementioned educational policies, their initial and continued formation, and there we performed a qualitative research with an open questionnaire in a virtual environment whose answers were analyzed following Foucauldian proposals of discourse analysis. For this analysis we demarcated statements that were organized around five discursive formations: 1) profile; 2) training; 3) conceptions; 4) situations; 5) practices. Preliminary results indicate that, despite being a group of newly trained teachers - half are less than five years old - few teachers discussed sexuality and gender issues during their training. This indicates that the discussions about the theme occur only with the teachers' awareness and / or their interest. Another data indicates that half of teachers acknowledge that the topic is not old enough to be debated, while some point out that the debate only occurs in High School and / or Elementary School. This data serves as a possible indicator that teachers consider the existence of maturation for such a debate. The preliminary conclusions indicate that teacher training courses should ensure that the debate does not summarize sexual and reproductive issues, expanding to gender issues and how this knowledge about the masculine and feminine was socially constructed.
