Voices of a story: narratives from previous knowledge of students about gender and sexuality (Cambé/PR

Abstract

This masters dissertation aims to present a discussion on relations of Gender and Sexuality in everyday school life, executed in State College Raminelli Antonio, located in the town of Camberley, PR. Throughout the study, we used as a source document a investigate instrument of prior knowledge (questionnaire), which was applied to the adolescent whose are high school students and ages ranged between 14 and 17 years. We seek to understand, through collected narratives, issues relating to construction and dynamics of gender relations and sexuality and if the history teaching allows the opportunity for reflection and discussion of these issues at the school environment. The study seeks to analyze the ways how students construct and reconstruct the position of "normality" in discussions of gender and sexuality, and the meanings attributed to them in the educational environment.
