SOUZA, Elaine de Jesus; SILVA, Joilson Pereira da and SANTOS, Claudiene. Diversidad sexual y la homofobia en la escuela: (des) conocimientos y experiencias de maestros. Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2016, vol.54, n.41, pp.111-138. ISSN 1981-1802. https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2016v54n41ID10160.
The sexual diversity that permeates the school is submitted to numerous prejudices and discrimination due to heteronormativity. The lack of thematic approach to sexuality and gender in teacher's education hinders the inclusion of sexual diversity at school and the deconstruction of homophobia. This qualitative study aimed to analyze the conceptions of teachers about sexual diversity and homophobia at school. For this, we used the method of thematic categorical content. The results showed gaps in knowledge of teachers about sexual diversity and the different faces of homophobia. Thus, we highlights the need of curriculum changes and educational activities that expand the knowledge of educators on these issues.
