Gênero nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental na perspectiva das professoras de uma escola municipal de João Pessoa∕PB

Abstract

The present work aims to reflect on the gender relations in the initial years of Elementary School I in the school context and to know the perspectives that the teachers of a primary and elementary school I of the municipality of João Pessoa / PB have on the discussions with their students. This is a qualitative research of exploratory nature, developed through the application of a questionnaire with five primary school teachers I of the school studied. The objectives of the research are: to know what the teachers think and how they stand in front of the manifestations of the gender issues in the classroom; map some of their knowledge on the subject and consider themselves prepared to approach it in their educational practices. The results point to the lack of training of teachers to work on gender issues. Although they point out that there are no differences between boys and girls, they believe that addressing these issues is a challenge. Thus, I believe that discussing gender in school is to make the other aware of the diversity that constitutes us, it is a discussion that must be recognized by the teachers as necessary and important in the students' formative process.
