Visual Arts for the Inclusion of Sexual Diversity in Primary School Teacher Training

Abstract

In this paper, we propose training primary school teachers on issues of sexual diversity. As the main objective, we propose to know if future primary school teachers are receiving this type of training, subsequently providing proposals to improve this situation of formative precariousness that exists regarding the inclusion of sexual and gender dissidence in school. Among the secondary objectives, we highlight the need to use attractive tools to deal with these issues in the classroom. We observe that, in relation to sexual diversity, visual arts and art education offer us the opportunity to incorporate images, works and artists who are working on these issues, using as a tool the Museari online museum. We use the case study as a methodology. After having incorporated these actions in the classroom, all the participants respond a questionnaire. After the results, the conclusion we draw is that the training experience in sexual and gender diversity and inclusion has been interesting and novel for them, having encouraged reflection on how to incorporate these issues into the dynamics of the primary school classroom.
