Representaciones sociales sobre género y su implicación en la convivencia escolar

Abstract

The social representations about gender that boys and girls have affect school coexistence, preventing an optimal and harmonious coexistence between peers. This work presents the results of the research developed in order to reveal the social representations about gender of 7 second grade boys and girls from the Liceo Moderno Salvador Allende school in the town of Bosa. It was implemented through a qualitative, phenomenological approach, collecting information through 4 workshops and a semi-structured interview. The results confirm that social representations about gender have an implication in school coexistence, which considerably affects it, also identifying gender stereotypes and gender roles that are closer to hegemonic or patriarchal, although some social representations stand out alternative or contemporary throughout the research as well as the importance of references in the eradication of gender stereotypes.
