Abstract
El propósito de esta investigación es abordar la producción de diferencias de género en el contexto escolar —particularmente en las clases de ciencias naturales— median-te el análisis de las relaciones de poder inscritas en mecanismos discursivos y materiales que instalan normas de género para la producción de diferencias, asimetrías y prácticas de discri-minación. Para lograr tales objetivos, diseñamos estudios de caso múltiples en tres escuelas en Santiago de Chile, una de hombres, otra de mujeres y una mixta. Las prácticas de investigación se orientaron a partir de un enfoque etnográfico que incorpora entrevistas en profundidad a distintos actores de la comunidad educativa. Los resultados producidos interrelacionadamente en los tres casos muestran cómo los discursos específicos de la heteronormatividad actúan en la producción de relaciones de poder o relaciones estratégicas que están en la base de lo que se entiende por “diferencias de género” en el contexto escolar.
The purpose of this research is to explore the production of gender differences in the school context, particularly in natural science classes, by analyzing the power relations embedded in discursive and material mechanisms that establish gender norms for the produc-tion of differences, asymmetries and discriminatory practices. To achieve the objectives, we designed multiple case studies at three schools in Santiago de Chile, one for boys, another for girls and a mixed one. Research practices were guided by an ethnographic approach that in-corporates in-depth interviews with actors from the educational community. The interrelated results produced in the three cases show how the specific discourses of heteronormativity act in the creation of the power relations or strategic relations underpinning what is understood by “gender differences” in the school context
