The training of Primary Education teachers in gender diversity

This research work arises from the goal of detecting the training of active teachers in Primary Education on gender diversity and its intervention with respect to the inclusion of non-heteronormative students in schools. A key element in the inclusion of non-heteronormative students is the training of teachers in gender diversity for the construction of a school free of LGTBphobia. We have used the qualitative methodology, specifically the instrument proposed to collect the information has been the interview. The sample of the population universe is made up of 40 active Primary Education teachers from the province of Cadiz from public schools. Among the most notable results is reflected the confusion on the subject along with poor training, so teachers have no tools to include gender diversity in schools. We found that it is still a taboo subject at school and that it creates situations of rejection when it arises. We highlight the interest expressed by the teachers in receiving training on the subject in order to be able to work with gender diversity in an inclusive manner.
