REFLEXÕES ACERCA DE GÊNERO E BRINCADEIRAS NOS ANOS INICIAIS

Abstract

This work presents reflections on gender and games in the Early Years. The central objective of the study was to analyze gender relations at school, from the perspective of games through a theoretical survey in national repositories. The research used a qualitative approach based on surveys of works available on the Google Scholar website and SciELO-Scientific Electronic Library Online. The results demonstrated that games at school end up reproducing sexism in society and this can be evidenced through children's games at school. Furthermore, the research showed that teachers play a prominent role in overcoming sexist practices at school, however many still have difficulty dealing with the issue or have not received adequate training to do so. In the end, it is concluded that all children deserve to be happy and play freely, without judgment, exploring all their potential, regardless of their gender.
