O feminismo na educação : da feminização do magistério ao protagonismo das mulheres nas escolas : estudo de caso em Cuiabá/MT

Abstract

The present research focuses on the study about feminism within schools, by pursuing the association between education, feminism and teaching. The main purpose of this research, which is concerned with the oppression of women and which envisions new horizons for Education, is to investigate how the female high school teachers work with subjects and agendas of feminist conceptions in their daily professional practices. To achieve this proposal, at first, a bibliographic research was carried out in order to reflect upon the phenomenon under analysis; From then on, methodological procedures were adopted based on the case study, which involved the work of teachers from the Maria Taquara State School, in the city of Cuiabá - MT. Different strategies and sources were mobilized for the gathering of data, such as: observation of teaching practice, questionnaires and individual interviews with the teachers. Such data aim to present the main pedagogical and didactic strategies used by the teachers to approach the protagonism of women (and/or concepts related to feminism) in the classes of the curricular components for which they are responsible, or analyze how the topic is ignored; as well as the description of the most relevant actions developed with the high school students. Through the bibliographic research and the dialogue with several authors, reflections were built on the proposed theme, as well as the data analysis was performed (made possible by content analysis), the construction and contextualization of the studied reality, for which the attentive analysis of the theoretical subsidy materials was fundamental. In the interlocution of the scientific fundaments with the lived practice, in relation to the didactic-pedagogical experiences in the final stage of Basic Education, is where the construction of the present research takes place.
