Body, gender and sexuality in teacher training: a meta-analysis

Abstract

This paper aims at systematizing the specific literature on body, gender, sexuality and education, identifying the methodological process that produced the different explanation patterns found. Methodologically, introducing the meta-analysis as a research technique in Human Sciences, we intended to contribute to the construction of a literature review in a systematic way in order to guarantee the increase in accumulation and the reliability of the production of scientific knowledge. It was found that, regardless of the type of research used (Case Studies, Small N Studies, Large N Studies) and effect found (Nsig, Sig and Mixed Results), one feature is common among the analyzed studies regarding body, gender, sexuality and teacher training: the fact that all (with varying degrees of intensity) suggest that the thematic approach contributes to the destabilization of norms, ratings and rankings in the field of education.

Formative Narratives of Transexual Students From Federal University of Sergipe

“…The transsexuals have bodies and speeches that question gender norms, facing the control of the bodies exercised by the institution. The confrontation and the search for visibility are strategies to deal with the imposition of regulatory norms of bio-power and body governance, used by UFS and many other educational institutions (DIAS, 2014;CRUZ, 2015;AMORIM, 2015). The fact that there are transsexual undergraduates is an act of resistance, since the educational system has been trying to expel them since an early age (RATTO; GRESPAN; LACERDA, 2016).…”

Gender studies in the Tempos e Espaços em Educação Journal: a systematic review

“…We have observed a significant increase in scientific production about gender and sexuality in the last decade in several fields of knowledge, specifically in the field of Education. These studies have in common the fact that they suggest that serious discussion about these themes contributes to destabilize norms, classifications and hierarchies (DIAS; AMORIM, 2015;OLIVEIRA, 2015;RIOS;.…”

“…In the face of the volume of studies discussing gender issues that are published in scientific journals focusing on the dissemination of reports about Education research, we evidence the need to socialize, within the academic community of the field, overviews that highlight the advances and the theory gaps regarding the theme. Among the methodological alternatives to achieve that purpose, Dias and Amorim (2015) and Dias, Oliveira and Santos (2018) point to the systematic review of literature.…”
