The state of knowledge of gender in education in Chihuahuan research

Abstract

This paper recovers an assessment made of Chihuahuan educational research produced between 2009 and 2019. The inclusion criteria were: that the research was carried out with the category of gender, and that it has the Chihuahuan educational context as an empirical reference or, in the case of a theoretical production, its author being from Chihuahua. By means of a hermeneutical methodology and three analysis file cards, all localized production was assessed: books, book chapters, indexed journal articles, doctoral theses and research reports. The findings show a better quality and quantity of production than the one valued in the previous decade state of knowledge. Studies that position themselves as gender studies but are really based on biological elements were located; most of the studies are theoretically positioned from the gender perspective, and, finally, a few were located that go beyond binary identity and heteropatriarchal sex-gender orientation. Qualitative methodologies and the study of subjects in elementary education continue to prevail.
