A educação STEM e gênero: uma contribuição para o debate brasileiro

Autores

Palavras-chave:

gênero, ciências exatas, ensino médio, STEM

Resumo

Este artigo apresenta reflexões sobre a igualdade de gênero no ensino secundário, em especial no tocante à inclusão das jovens nas áreas de ciências, tecnologia, engenharias e matemática (STEM), tomando como fonte empírica um levantamento da produção acadêmico-científica realizada na base de dados Education Resources Information Center (ERIC). Tendo o conceito de gênero como um componente de análise do acesso das mulheres a essas áreas, foram selecionados 55 artigos e divididos em quatro agrupamentos. Considerando que, nos anos recentes, o Brasil tem apresentado diversas iniciativas que incentivam o acesso das mulheres às áreas das exatas, conhecer os estudos internacionais pode contribuir para uma reflexão crítica acerca de como a desigualdade de gênero pode ser enfrentada.
