The present study sought to evaluate the impact of a teaching project that starts from gender relations in family agriculture to reflect the training of students in the Agricultural Technical Course of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Ceará, Campus Crato, of gender relations. Due to the particularities of this work, we use a qualitative-quantitative approach, in order to allow a better analysis and interpretation of the impressions registered by the participants from their conceptions and to evaluate the impacts that occurred in their ideas from a project of teaching. Considering that the research involved a teaching activity, consisting of technical visits on rural properties, with students of said course, both in the integrated form to high school and subsequent, the study approaches an action research. However, it is also characterized as documentary research, therefore, we investigated the Pedagogical Project of the Agricultural Technical Course. We used a questionnaire to investigate the conceptions of the participants, applied to the students of that course. Continuing the teaching project and seeking to ascertain the impacts of the same, which occurred after the technical visits to the rural properties and through discussions with the participants. We analyze the data obtained in the research based on the theory of Content Analysis of Bardin (2016). We present the results through tables and discussions that reaffirmed the considerations made throughout this study, which emphasize that the ideas of the participants are still present in a thought permeated by gender bias, especially in relation to women's work in the environment rural. However, as they are objects of discussion and reflection through systematic action, these ideas lose the emphasis of a naturalized inequality, anchored in sexual differences to take the tone of socially constructed inequalities, which are still based on the principle of physical strength to preserve in agriculture, certain highlights the male figure.
