    (Universidad de Cuenca. Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Políticas y Sociales, 2026-02-04) Verdugo Tenecora, Katherine Leonela; Bueno Loja, Blanca Yolanda
    This research addresses gender stereotypes present in the school environment and how they are perceived by adolescents aged 12 to 17 in a private school in the city of Cuenca. It stemmed from the need to understand how beliefs influence students' emotional, social, and educational experiences. The general objective was to analyze the perception of gender stereotypes in this age group. Specific objectives included identifying the stereotypes that adolescents recognize as present in their school environment, exploring the emotional and social consequences of this perception, and determining the mechanisms by which stereotypes are reproduced despite the existence of inclusive educational policies. The methodology employed a qualitative approach, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional, and descriptive-interpretive design. Open-ended interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 14 students, and the data obtained were processed using ATLAS.ti software. This design allowed for an in-depth exploration of student experiences and an understanding of how they interpreted school practices related to gender. The results revealed deeply ingrained stereotypes surrounding physical strength, the unequal assignment of tasks, unequal treatment by teachers, and the presence of sexist comments. Emotional effects such as demotivation, feelings of injustice, and devaluation were also identified. It was concluded that the school continued to function as a space for the reproduction of gender stereotypes, despite having institutional discourses of inclusion, which highlights the need to strengthen equitable pedagogical practices.
