A influência da educação básica na ausência de mulheres no “ser cientista”: sobre representatividade nas ciências

Abstract

We performed the analysis of representations produced by students from two educational institutions in the city of Campo Mourão, who expressed, through drawings, what the word SCIENTIST means. In this process, we seek to understand, under Cultural Studies bias, how the possibilities of "being a woman" are organized and established by social, cultural, political, sexual and other devices to meet the patriarchal system's longings of the "roles" of women in society. Based on the National Curriculum Guidelines for Higher Education, we investigate ways to help weaken these devices to break with patriarchy and thus achieve gender equality. The desire we have to live in a more citizen and egalitarian society, in which women see themselves as modifiers and formers of this society and of themselves, are the reasons why we have developed this research.
