GENDER ISSUES IN SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION: A PICKUP IN THE DISTRICT ZONES OF RIO GRANDE-RS

Abstract

In this work we aim to analyze how gender issues are dealt with in Physical Education (PE) classes at the municipal education network in the city of Rio Grande - RS, in addition to identifying the position of male and female teachers on the theme of gender being worked on in PE classes. To this end, we conducted a qualitative research of an exploratory / descriptive nature. We realize that the school is still a space that segregates and differentiates, since stereotypes, oppressions, divisions and differentiations between genders are present there. We found pro-discussion and counter-discussion, two distinct groups that were formed when teachers pondered the gender theme to be addressed in PE classes.
