La coeducación patrimonial o cómo aplicar la perspectiva de género en la educación patrimonial en instituciones culturales y museos

Abstract

The coeducational approach as a pedagogy in formal education, goes beyond no singlesex education and is the basis for educating children and adolescents equally, without gender discrimination. It seeks to suppress all forms of exclusion or undervaluation, to overcome sexist stereotypes and to eliminate androcentric gender roles and hierarchies from the first years of schooling for boys and girls and along their educational development. The coeducational approach mainstreams a gender perspective through practical tools; when applied in a heritage context it becomes a heritage coeducational approach. The objective of the article is to bring the reader closer to the knowledge of a new educational methodology based on the heritage coeducational approach, to be able to apply it in the educational programs offered to schools by museums and heritage institutions, to guarantee an equal and non-discriminatory education, thus helping to form critical, fair-minded and free people.
