MAIA, Marcos Felipe Gonçalves  and  CARVALHO, Maria Eulina Pessoa de. NARRATIVE CURRICULUM ON GENDER AND SEXUALITY IN BIOLOGY TEACHING IN BRAZIL. Revista LES [online]. 2024, vol.28, n.58, 5683.  Epub Mar 28, 2025. ISSN 2526-8449.  https://doi.org/10.26694/rles.v28i58.5683.

The biology teaching curriculum is discussed in this essay as a narrative about the meanings of life in a complex world, in which the themes of gender and sexuality are present. The objective was to analyze conceptual clues about curricular possibilities based on a systematic review of the literature on gender and sexuality in Biology Teaching in Brazil from 2015 to 2021. Five articles based on empirical, bibliographical and documentary research were selected. Their results informed a synthesis of their curriculum concepts: practitioner, flexible, contingent, cultural, changeable, sensitive and connected with everyday experiences. The categories of conversity (conversidade) and conversation were filters to organize a synthesis of possibilities for confronting the difficulties, imposed by reactionary movements, in addressing gender and sexuality within the Brazilian Basic Education curriculum. Hence, argumentsclues were created for a narrative, non-prescriptive, plural and inventive curriculum that respects the multiple processes of building science and developing the individual in society.

Keywords : Biology teaching; Curriculum; Narrative; Subjectivity.
