Estereótipos e escolhas profissionais : um olhar a partir dos discentes do gênero masculino do curso de Secretariado Executivo da Universidade Federal de Sergipe

Abstract

This study addressed the issue of the perception of male students on the executive secretarial course at the Federal University of Sergipe in relation to the influence of stereotypes on professional career choices. To carry out this work, bibliographical surveys relevant to the subject were carried out, as well as the application of a questionnaire that allowed the analysis of students' knowledge in relation to their view of stereotypes related to the course and profession. The results obtained demonstrated that students on the executive secretarial course feel that there is prejudice or difference due to men performing a role that is stereotyped as being performed by women, showing that men and women can and should perform the same functions without distinction.
