Uma análise da presença feminina na matemática através das vivências de professoras do curso de licenciatura em matemática do campus - IV

Abstract

This course completion work has the general objective of analyzing the academic trajectories of teachers of the Mathematics Degree course at the Federal University of Paraíba, Campus - IV, to understand the challenges and difficulties faced by the female gender. The construction of this work was developed through the reports obtained through semi-structured interviews with four teachers of the Degree in Mathematics course at Campus IV – UFPB – Rio Tinto. The choice of undergraduate, masters and doctoral courses was investigated, as well as their experiences and obstacles faced during their academic career. To carry out the research, a qualitative approach was used, being characterized in terms of objectives as exploratory and in terms of the data collection procedure, a case study. This work is based on some authors, among which we can mention Louro (1997), Rosenthal (2018), Bolzani (2017), Gil (2002), Tosi (1998). It is observed that there are still many obstacles faced by women who wish to pursue an academic career in the field of Mathematics, among which we can mention the overload of activities, arising from the sum of tasks related to home, motherhood and academic responsibilities, poor visibility and discrimination are still a reality faced by the female gender.
