Gênero, sexualidade e educação de jovens e adultos/as: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

This research aims to understand how gender and sexuality are addressed in academic production on EJA (Youth and Adult Education). The specific objectives are: a) to map, in academic production, how gender and sexuality are addressed in EJA; b) to systematize the works found in the mapping. This research seeks to answer the following research question: How are gender and sexuality addressed in academic production on EJA? This is a qualitative and exploratory research. Data collection was carried out through a literature review in Scielo, with the following keywords: Gender, Sexuality and EJA. Five works were mapped. Thus, the results indicate the need for studies on the topics studied. In addition, this literature review points to the urgent inclusion of the themes of gender and sexuality in the continuing education of EJA teachers. We hope that the results presented here will encourage the development of other research, as well as more inclusive educational practices, particularly in the aspects of gender and sexuality.
