SANCHEZ-BELLO, Ana. Theoretical perspectives on gender: status quaestionis of the impact on the educational system. Convergencia [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.67, pp.111-127. ISSN 2448-5799.

Gender studies in social sciences are influenced, in various manners and with diverse consequences as well, by the different perspectives of feminist theory. The traditional classification alludes to four tendencies of the feminist theory; nowadays however, the tendency of the postmodern, the difference and queer theories have been incorporated. These are the agglutinating theoretical proposals among the multiplicity of tendencies we can find at present. This work carries out a theoretical revision on these proposals in order to analyze which aspects develop each one of them in relation to their contribution to the educational system. It is concluded that these proposals have to be analyzed as allies, not as opposed, for the objective of all of them is to find various solutions to different problems in the educational sphere.

Keywords : gender theory; educational system; women's studies; equity; science.
