Gênero e educação escolar: análise das representações de gênero nos livros didáticos do ensino primário em Moçambique

Abstract

It is from the importance, role and specific ideological role that school education in particular textbooks had in the national reconstruction process, training and dissemination of new Mozambican identity in the post-independence (1975), which this thesis proposes to reflect on the ideological role of education, particularly of textbooks for primary education in the process of designing, building and institutional differences or reproduction of gender equality. For this purpose, we analyze how the textbooks are gender relations between men and women in their content and verify that question or reproduce socially accepted roles for men and women. We took as empirical material of our research textbooks of the first seven years of schooling primary school of public administration in particular the Portuguese language (reading book), Moral and Civic Education, Crafts and Mathematics. Away from the pedagogical conceptions of the textbook, the study sees through the assumptions of the book "male domination" of Bourdieu, the textbook in question as a special area of diffusion of stereotypes, gender differences between man and woman They tend to represent the first as provider and the second as a subaltern / submissive. In this respect, the results of this research suggest that school education through textbooks of primary education in Mozambique tends to institutionally reproduce gender differences when transcribing arbitrary and unequal gender relations as the ideal type of behavioral patterns of gender, showing the place and the activities that should be occupied by women and not by men and vice versa. What perpetuates the students the male cultural arbitrary that happens to be exposed and taken as desirable role model, although that hides within itself a discrimination against women, its concealment and submission to this male social order to repress and confines doxa of patriarchal domination gender.
