Gender equality at school: A study with high school institutions in the federal network

Abstract

The objective of this work is to understand how the topic of gender equality has been addressed by teachers from the Federal Network of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education, within the scope of secondary education. To achieve this objective, research was carried out through the application of online questionnaires, containing multiple choice and open questions, analyzed using quantitative (numerical systematization) and qualitative (content analysis) techniques. The results, although partial, point to an advancement in the approach to gender issues in the Federal Network, with emphasis on the performance of NUGEDIS and the existence of considerable awareness and awareness among teachers about the importance of the topic being addressed in education. It also highlights gaps in the initial and continuing training of teachers to address diversity and gender equality. It is concluded that, despite the advances achieved and the numerous challenges faced, the school has a duty to act to promote social transformation, educating for equality in diversity.
