Abstract

OLIVEIRA, Catarina Sales  and  MENDES, Andreia. Playing gender: socialization and equality in pre-school education. Ex aequo [online]. 2017, n.36, pp.167-186. ISSN 0874-5560.  https://doi.org/10.22355/exaequo.2017.36.10.

The research focused on gender socialization in pre-school. It aimed at observing the process of gender socialization in a class whose educator had recently done a training workshop on gender and citizenship. By triggering a qualitative methodology, the study took place in one pre-school class of a private institution. The results suggest that socialization is shaped according to gender roles, which in the institution studied is connected to a traditional logic. Action and educational practices reflect some degree of gender and citizenship awareness but still far from an effective promotion goal.

Keywords : Gender equality; gender roles; gender socialization; pre-school education; equalitarian pedagogy.
