Professional formation in Social Work and Gender: some considerations

This article presents the results of the research done in 32 Brazilian universities. Fifty-four questionnaires were answered by professors and students of classroom Social Work courses in order to know the reality of the teaching of the disciplines, study groups and researchers linked to gender issues. The results show that in every course researched there are disciplines, groups and researchers linked to the gender issue. The disciplines are elective and taken at the end of the course. There are about 3 or 4 researchers and 1 group of study per university. It is necessary to redefine the insert of the theme in the graduation course.
