Gender Issues From an Ontological Perspective: Implications for the Scope of Education

Abstract

The present work is a summary of a concluded master's thesis research whose general objective was to understand gender relations from the formation of the human race and its possible implications for the scope of education. In a bibliographical study based on historical-dialectical materialism, we seek to understand gender issues through an ontological approach. We found that the total overcoming of the gender condition in contemporary times will only be possible in a new form of sociability. However, school education is an important element for social transformation and a space to discuss gender, so that boys and girls understand each other in the context of this society. For this, it is pointed out that school education has as a theoretical basis the concept of the human gender itself, because only by understanding oneself as a participant in this is it possible to analyze and criticize the conditions of inequality, oppression, patterns and stereotypes between men and women.
