Abstract

This work is a final monograph of graduation in Education. It focuses on the issues of gender and sexual diversity (a contemporary challenge for the schools) within the teacher education undergraduate program offered by the School of Education at Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB, João Pessoa, Brazil). Will the new teachers leave the university prepared to deal with these issues? In this sense, I attempted to investigate, using bibliographical, documentary, quantitative and qualitative approaches, the curricular experience of students graduating in the second semester of 2013, aiming to know whether and how the program prepares the new professionals to deal with these issues in order to ensure the human rights of women and LGBT. For this purpose, based on structured and semi-structured interviews with students, I analyzed the inclusion of these issues in the course lists of that teacher education undergraduate program, as well as legal and curricular documents, and verified how they are included in the formative practice at UFPB. In order to conduct the analysis I drew on a variety of theoretical contributions: Silva (2006), Louro (1997), Hall (2009), Ferrari (2007), Butler (2013), Furlani (2011), Foucault (1988), Carvalho (2009/13), among others. Many students are aware of those specific power relations, but do not know concepts and methodologies of pedagogical intervention in order to work with these issues, which are found lacking in the national curricular guidelines on sex education.
