Cultures of Schooling. No Place for Women

Since 1970, education has included both sexes in the classroom, but it was only after 1985 that coeducational schooling per se was explicitly pursued. However, many studies show that, as is also the case in other countries, schooling in Spain is designed according to male criteria, norms, and patterns; the cultural selection of subjects included in the curriculum is also male-based. Pedagogy of sexual difference could give us a new and more comprehensive meaning to the school in order to understand better what is happening and to teach in a more responsible and educative way.
