Gênero, sexualidade e educação: como egressos do ensino médio avaliam a experiência que tiveram nas aulas de filosofia e sociologia

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the evaluation that High School graduates made about the classes they had on the topic of Gender and Sexuality as a syllabus of the disciplines of Philosophy and Sociology. That content was taught by one of the researchers in a private school in Sabará and the classes took place in the 2nd year of High School, the sophomore year, as an integral part of the content in the 2nd term in 2019. In this sense, the aim here was to understand the importance that those classes had for them, and their respective positions, regarding to the understanding of issues related to the themes of Gender and Sexuality. The methodology adopted was an open questionnaire applied through Google Forms, in which the contact with the participants took place through digital means on Oct/21, because of the pandemic context. The reports showed a personal maturity when analyzing their anxieties / doubts / insecurities before and after the experiences in the classes. The importance of working on this theme in the classroom goes beyond the limits and needs of the school context, contributing to the experience of their own sexuality, as well as respect for sexual and gender diversity and the need to work on this content within the classroom.
