Experience of Evaluation of the Gender Perspective in a Degree Program

Abstract

In this work we show findings on the theme of mainstreaming the gender perspective in higher education, which is usually located from institutional policy, going through strategies, programs, mechanisms and specific actions, until reaching classroom realities, where certain study plans are specified. The research consists of an analysis of the discourses arranged in documents that make up the international, national and institutional frameworks regarding gender equality, in contrast to the appreciation of the students, who make up the reason of any educational project. The results show an acceptable level of congruence between the discourse and the practices, but, above all, the responses of the students participating in the study show a critical mass with high curricular awareness, which indicates the scope and areas opportunity to narrow the gap between the formal curriculum and the lived curriculum.
