A desconstrução dos estereótipos de gênero através do brinquedo e do brincar na educação infantil

Abstract

Addressing questions related to gender stereotyping allows us to understand how we reproduce various prejudices regarding the use of toys and even playing in early childhood education. The aim of this research / intervention was to enable children in the age group of four / five years of the Marta Nair Monteiro Municipal School of Early Childhood Education, toys / play dissociated from sexism present in the stereotypes attributed to Female and Male. This research / intervention has a qualitative approach and were used, as a methodological resource, the Ethnographic Research. Thus, through participant observation and the elaboration of a field diary, it was possible to understand, through my teaching practice, the relationships that boys and girls established with playing and toys in a gender perspective. This research sought, by promoting the deconstruction of gender stereotypes through toys and play in early childhood education, to briefly analyze the relationship of early childhood education with gender stereotypes, allowing other relationships to be established with toys and play, as well as the use of children's literature, enabling them to become important instruments for the deconstruction of these stereotypes.
