La cultura de género en la actualidad: Actitudes del colectivo adolescente hacia la igualdad

Abstract

The aim of this research is to assess the information regarding the culture of

gender obtained through a questionnaire, which worked as a sample of

students in the second cycle of Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (Compulsory

Secondary Education). These students have lived with the Equality Act most of

their time at school so this is an appropiate investigative corpus to attempt to

calibrate the actual effectiveness of the goals that this Act set. Anything related

to the culture of gender is not a mere transmission of values through which our

feelings and thoughts are expressed, because language “makes thought” and,

at the same time, it represents and builds reality. Thus, the research not only

shows the results of the tests filled in by the students but it also proposes an

educational model that takes into account anything that from the educational

institution is said to the students to be an act that produces some social effects.

It is also pointed out the need to connect the school to society, and, therefore

the committment to Service Learning, a methodology that links participation in

community service with knowledge and values learning.
