Diversidade sexual e de gênero na escola: revisando discussões no Ensino de Ciências

Assuming the complexity of the debate on issues related to sexual and gender diversity at school, this text proposes to analyze the directions and positions regarding gender and sexuality in the productions in the area of Science Education available on the CAPES Journal Portal. The analytical-methodological process was the Textual Discourse Analysis (TDA). This enabled the creation of 4 categories, which point to the repeated discussions about gender and sexuality centered on a biological bias, the adversities existing in the teaching of sexual and gender diversity, the relationship between sexism and education and the relations between discourse and power that articulate this thematic at school. It was found that the presence of discrimination and prejudice are based on sexist and patriarchal principles, originated and supported in power relations that shape and rule historicity, culture and society.
