Abstract

This article investigates how the students of the Master's Degree in Secondary Education Teaching (University of Valencia, majoring in Geography and History) design the inclusion of the gender perspective in Social Sciences. The research is part of a larger study on the social representations and practices of trainee teachers. It is framed within the qualitative methodology and the collective cases study. Discourse and representations related to gender and curriculum will be analyzed and categorized by means of initial surveys. This surveys were implemented in successive academic years (2016-2017 and 2017-2018) for a sample of 69 students. The analyze is based on variables such as the chronological and disciplinary field. It also takes into account possibilities provided by literature in order to incorporate women into the curriculum. The results show the relevance of previous gender and initial disciplinary training, as well as the lack of specificity of many of the designs, which, however, tend to reproduce, in a simplified way, the contributions of gender and women's history and art history.
