Análise de teses e dissertações publicadas na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações de 2019-2021: o que as pesquisas demonstram sobre a docência masculina na Educação Infantil?

Abstract

This research has at the heart of its concerns the presence of male teachers in the scope of Early Childhood Education as something not ideal for dealing with the training of children in the initial phase of Basic Education; This theme has been gaining momentum since the 1990s in academic discussions, especially when it comes to teacher training. The main objective was to understand whether, in the research analyzed, the authors were able to perceive the indecency, immorality and inadequacy of the male presence in teaching children. During the study, bibliographical research of a qualitative nature was used as a methodological procedure, in addition, the technique of textual, thematic and interpretative analysis structured by Severino (2004) was also used. This technique was applied to cataloged sources of theses, dissertations and articles on the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) portal. In this sense, Coutinho (2019), Ramos (2020) and Silva Júnior (2021) were used to support the discussions, which deal with male teaching in Early Childhood Education. The results indicate that the schooling process in Brazil began with the male presence, being taught by Jesuit priests during the colonization period. This scenario began to undergo profound changes during the period of the Industrial Revolution, which directly impacted the industrialization processes in Brazil and the teaching profession was mostly occupied by females, especially in Early Childhood Education. In this way, many men have distanced themselves from this stage of Basic Education and those who still continue to work in this area suffer gender prejudice and discrimination, due to a culturally constructed thought in which women become more prepared and qualified to deal with child care. young children, due to biological characteristics that are based on motherhood and reproduction, justified by moralistic discourses of religious doctrines. From this, the discussion is established about the immorality and indecency of men in this environment, this is due to the view of the male figure in our society being linked to strong, angry and aggressive behaviors, it causes fear, estrangement and concern in people in general when encountering these professionals in their childhood school
