Abstract

Introduction: The role of a teacher must be to transmit and evaluate the skills assimilated among his students. The citizen competence defined by Organic Law 3/2,020, of December 29, aims to educate responsible citizens who develop critical thinking. The increase in Hate Crimes against Sexual Orientation in our country questions the assimilation of this competence, with rural Andalusian educational contexts being the most affected by homophobic behavior. Methodology: A Homophobia Test was administered in rural educational contexts in two Andalusian provinces, analyzing high, medium grade or the absence of homophobia among students and compared to the variable age and sex. Results: The results demonstrate a high and medium degree of homophobia among the students surveyed between the ages of 12 and 14 and in the male sex variable. Discussions: The possible causes of this situation are analyzed and compared with the degree of assimilation of civic competence in these students.Conclusions: This study on homophobia demonstrates the educational reality of rural areas and how the presence of homophobia prevents the acquisition of skills among students. It is educational work to ensure people who are free and devoid of prejudices.
