Teacher training. Gender. Curriculum. Decoloniality

The main objective of the research "Problematizing Gender, Race and Sexualities: The Training of Teachers at URCA (2013/2022)" is to critically analyze the curricular pedagogical proposals of the History course at the Universidade Regional do Cariri (URCA). The study focuses on the investigation of the presence or absence of discussions and production of knowledge related to gender, race and sexuality in the training of History teachers from 2013 to 2022, with emphasis on the analysis of the menus of the optional subject "History and Gender" and the role of teachers in building a curriculum that effectively addresses these issues within the scope of the History course. With regard to methodology, the study seeks to emphasize Latin and decolonial theoretical approaches. The methodology used is Oral History, involving interviews with teachers of the History course at URCA. The analysis of the interviews is conducted based on the principles of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The initial conclusions show that the inclusion of discussions about gender, race and sexualities in the curriculum of the degree course in History has the potential to train teachers who are prepared to promote critical reflection, dismantle stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination.
