CARVALHO, Rodrigo Saballa de  and  GUIZZO, Bianca Salazar. Curriculum policies for early childhood education: a gaze on gender, sexuality and scholl. Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.45, pp.191-201. ISSN 0104-7043.  https://doi.org/10.2015/jan.abr.v25n45.014.

Experiences that are linked to gender and sexuality are experienced by young children when expectations about their sexual and gender identities are established. From the contributions of two different fields, Cultural Studies and Gender Studies, with post-structuralism approach, this paper aims: 1) to discuss how issues of gender and sexuality are placed in curricular policy proposals for Early Childhood Education; 2) to discuss how teachers perceive the work with these issues in schools. The results showed that over the past few decades, themes of gender and sexuality has been included in some public and curriculum policies, but it is not enough yet. Furthermore, it showed the need for greater investment in the formation of those engaged in Early Childhood Education for the promotion of non-discriminatory educational practices.

Keywords : Gender; Sexuality; Curriculum; Early Childhood Education.
