Abstract

The initial graduation of a Physical Education teatcher may contribute to a
configuration that overcomes/minimises existing stereotypes and prejudices, allowing
undergraduates to live through different experiences. For this, teacher behavior needs to
encourage students’ reflection and action on gender and sexuality during initial formation, as well
as to ensure equity. Based on this concern, the objectives of this present article are to identify and
analyse perceptions of students in an initial graduation of Physical Education teachers about
matters of gender and sexuality. Through a qualitative research, characterized as an exploratory study, were interviewed 12 graduates of the course already mentioned. From the results obtained,
it was possible to observe that, although undergraduates state having had some contact with such
matters in the undergraduate program, they point to conceptual and articulation frailties in the
relationship between theory and practice about gender and sexuality throughout the course.
