Estudos de gênero e educação infantil: uma análise da produção científica entre 2015 e 2018

Abstract

Debates about the end of gender inequalities, in Education since the early school years, have produced a field of political, legal and conceptual problems in society. In view of this, it is essential to better understand the issue, so that measures can be designed to ensure the promotion of gender equality. This research aimed to understand and map the production of theses and dissertations produced in Brazil between 2015 and 2018 that have as their main theme the issue of gender relations in Early Childhood Education, identifying how, where and by whom these studies are being developed, as well as what they point out in their results. The method used to construct this mapping was a literature review and based on some criteria, 13 (thirteen) dissertations and 2 (two) theses were selected. After analysis, we conclude that studies on this theme are predominantly produced in public universities, in Education programs and are mostly written by females. It is also concluded that these studies recognize the difficulty of transforming gender relations in the daily life of the first school years, even though they point to small changes in order to promote gender equality at school.
