Abstract

MAROILA, Jesús. Women Inclusion in History Class: Possibilities and Limitations from Chilean Students’ Conceptions. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2019, n.77, pp.37-59. ISSN 0120-3916.  https://doi.org/10.17227/rce.num77-6549.

This article is the result of an investigation about the conceptions of Chilean students on the inclusion and absence of women in the teaching of history and social sciences. The goals of the study can be summarized into understanding the possibilities and the obstacles raised by the students to work with women and their history from critical and reflective perspectives. The methodology is a case study carried out through focus groups with different students from schools in Santiago, Chile. The methodological guidelines are framed in qualitative analysis and feminist research theories. Thus, the paper suggests analyzing the results from the point of view of critical theory and queer theory. Among the main results, we can say that students consider that women do have a history, but that it has been omitted and marginalized by the decisions and actions of the men in order to generate hierarchies where they keep the power in society. The students add that the absence and roles of women must be problematized from gender perspectives and from didactics in order to end social inequalities.

Keywords : women; gender; inclusion; teaching history; students.
