ABSTRACT
The text presents an analysis of the perceptions of indigenous students of the Intercultural Basic Education undergraduate degree at the Universidade Federal de Rondônia about the inclusion of the discussions about gender and sexual diversity issues in the course. The research is based on authors from Gender Studies area and qualitative research was the methodological approach adopted. Students enrolled in the second semester of 2018 were included, from which a sample of 19 participants was selected. A questionnaire and a semi-structured interview were used to produce data and, for analysis, strategies from Content Analysis were employed. The results revealed that most participants consider that the course has contributed little to train them to deal with issues of gender and sexual diversity in teaching practice, considering that these issues are hardly discussed, and they consider relevant to include these topics in the course program, after consulting the indigenous communities.
