Diversidad sexual en la óptica de los profesores de Talca

Abstract

The investigation is focused on the perceptions that teachers have in three different scholar systems, in relation to sexual diversity. The methodology was qualitative–descriptive. Information gathering is conducted through semi–structured interview to selected teachers. The analysis was performed following the assumptions of Grounded Theory. The two axes on which turned the research were related to the notions of sexual diversity that interviewers had and their ideas about how, in their opinion, should be addressed problematic situations that LGBT students are involved in different school spaces. The main findings of the research were those that interviewers really know what they talk about when referring to sexual diversity, identifying features and ideas related to sexual orientation, as well as knowing different strategies and/or methodologies to help to resolve problematic situations in scholar systems.
