Análise do Gênero da Educação Infantil de Criança de 0 a 3 Anos

Abstract

This work analyzes some aspects of gender issues in the context of Early Childhood Education. The central objective of the research was to carry out a bibliographical survey on gender issues in Early Childhood Education, especially in public daycare centers. From a methodological point of view, the research used a qualitative approach based on a theoretical study. In this sense, using pre-established keywords, a bibliographic survey was carried out on the CAPES (Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel), from SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online) and Google Scholar, which in turn reported 17 articles, of which nine were selected for analysis. The results demonstrated that daycare centers are understood as spaces for promoting gender equality, as they offer children care and education services, a relevant aspect that gives women the opportunity to remain in the job market. Furthermore, it recognizes Early Childhood Education institutions as a locus of affirmation/deconstruction of gender stereotypes and reaffirmed the role of the educator as an agent of transformation, also demonstrating the importance of continuing teacher training for the adoption of inclusive practices. In the end, it is concluded that for daycare centers to fulfill their function of promoting gender equality, collective efforts must be made between educational institutions, public policies and society.
