A timidez das meninas como resultado da violência docente

Abstract

The present monograph research aimed to study the shyness of girls as a result of gender-based violence caused by teachers. Shyness is understood as an identity trait that can be either natural or a way of being and acting driven by experiences. Violence consists of actions that physically, morally, and psychologically affect an individual. Silencing is a violent act against people in order to oppress and silence their voices. Thus, regarding the methodological procedures, this work is characterized as explanatory research, where data collection was carried out through bibliographic studies and analytical documentary research, also referring to qualitative research, based on secondary sources. Additionally, the research subjects are girls in elementary school who are beginning their educational journey, being prone to witnessing situations of violence as well as being victims themselves, contributing to the silencing of their voices. In this context, the results obtained in this research demonstrate that in a society built upon a patriarchal/misogynistic framework, ideas, experiences of people, concepts, and images about girls/women have been instilled in order to try to place them in fixed social roles, which they should not be part of within the same idealized system for boys/men. Thus, it is concluded that teachers undergo their formation as individuals, based on personal and cultural experiences built throughout life, jointly influenced and challenged by the misogynistic structure present since the past in society, instilling in their way of being and acting. Therefore, it is expected that the results of this work will prove, even partially, the relationship between girls' shyness as a result of gender silencing along with negative actions by teachers.
