In our patriarchal society, gender relations are unequal: power is masculine and women are submissive and exploited. School, as well as other social institutions, collaborates with the construction of gender, reinforcing opposite behaviors between boys and girls. Reflecting on such dichotomies and their consequences for men and women is very important for the construction of gender equity. The distance learning specialization course on Gender and Diversity in School (GDE) offers teachers a space of reflection on gender learning and makes possible to re-signify their gender conceptions. Considering the importance of teacher continual education and the changes that it might produce in pedagogical and social practices, I attempted to investigate teachers’ learning experiences on gender during their life-course and the possibilities of resignification allowed by the GDE course. With this purpose, using content analysis, I analyzed activities (written texts) performed by 69 teachers during the Gender module. Results showed that the GDE-Specialization, and specifically the Gender Module, contributed for the resignification of gender learning experiences by the teachers involved, as well to the search of gender equity practices and respect for diversity in school. This research contributes to make visible the impacts of teacher continual education on gender issues, to the academic production on gender and education, and to the evaluation of the GDE program, implemented across Brazil in recent years.
