O estagiário homem na educação infantil e os desafios de sua formação

Abstract

This research sought to understand the difficulties male interns face in completing their undergraduate studies during their initial training, especially in relation to their presence in Early Childhood Education Centers and their contact with young children, as well as to understand how they feel when faced with prejudice and what alternatives they find to maintain their career. This is a qualitative research of an exploratory and explanatory nature, whose data were generated from a questionnaire with 14 open and closed questions, sent via Google Forms to five interns who agreed to participate in the research. The results indicate that the difficulties male professionals experience in entering and remaining in Early Childhood Education are due to the values ​​that exist in the sociocultural environment in which we live, which reinforce idealized educational models. Despite the variations in the responses, it is still possible to note a certain fear and insecurity in the workplace, others demonstrate fear of communicating with parents, but there is also a great desire to overcome the challenges. Therefore, the categories of analysis that emerged from the results of the work were: work, prejudice, estrangement, fear and non-place.
