GENDER PERSPECTIVE IN EDUCATIONAL CURRICULA: OBSTACLES AND DEVELOPMENTS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL

Abstract

The educational system is one of the instances that allows the construction of the male and female students gender identity. Historically, the approach to gender in education has focused on inequality of access for female students, although this is not the only issue. Tis review addresses the background of gender approaches in education, the ways of tackling this issue, the relevance of the curriculum in teaching gender perspective and the obstacles to the inclusion of such perspective. Although multiple barriers have been surpassed, the findings support the claim that both initial and continuing teacher education must be improved, uncovering gender issues in the curriculum and creating opportunities for refection in schools.
