GENDER IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES AT IFRJ:
AN INTERSECTIONAL APPROACH
Keywords: Body, School exclusion, Intersection, Gender
The present work is based on questions and concerns conceived throughout my academic-professional trajectory in the field of education, motivated by the fact that I daily witness scenarios of oppression and discrimination to/between students for issues related mainly to gender issues in spaces that originally and essentially are or should be of human formation and development. In this sense, the general objective of the present study is to investigate gender relations and their possible intersections with other markers of difference in the adherence and exclusion of students in the daily routine of physical education classes in technical high school classes in a federal educational institution located in the Baixada Fluminense. As a methodological proposal, a qualitative ethnographic research is proposed (OLIVEIRA, 2007). Students from two classes of the 1st period of high school, a teacher and a physical education teacher, will participate in this research. With the results achieved, it is expected to provoke in-depth reflections in the field of education/physical education with a view to fostering effective and continuous actions to combat all forms of oppression and discrimination due to gender issues, thus contributing to the increase of students' adherence to physical education classes.
