Abstract: This paper aimed at investigating and analyzing teachers’ discourses on gender and if there is any relation withbody practices that favor the initial formation of the Physical Education teachers. This is a qualitative study that uses thediscourse analysis method. An open questionnaire containing seven questions was applied to university professors thatwork directly with the supervised internship in Physical Education. The current conjuncture of public and educationalpolicies has problematized the discussion about gender and sexuality within the school environment, being justified from ahegemonic perspective of the cisgender heterosexuality. The guiding documents of this context have been modified tomeet these precepts, directly affecting the process of the initial formation of the Physical Education teachers, especiallyregarding the contextualization of gender in line with the contents of body culture. Based on the information collected, itwas possible to identify a similarity between the teachers’ speeches, which demonstrate the need to address the theme ofgender, making relationships with body practices. Among the teachers, only one base their practices and dialogues onessentialist ideas, understanding that the practices must meet the biophysiological questions. Thus, there is a concern andneed to discuss this theme during the training process, but there is still little ground for a more technical and specifictreatment.Keywords: Gender. Professor.
