Infância, gênero e sexualidade na educação infantil: um estudo a partir das visões de professoras e diretoras de duas escolas de educação infantil de Vitória/ES

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the historical change that occurred both in Early Childhood Education and in the way children were seen by society before the rupture of traditional relationships and consequently the emergence of Sociology of Childhood. The emergence of a new way of researching children was of extreme importance for the present work, since the intention was to demonstrate that children absorb values that try to be imposed by both school and family, and that despite this, still are able to create a "childish world" in which it has its own rules and values. It should be stressed that only the work of the school is not enough to break with this type of stereotyping, it is essential the participation of the family in order to make real progress. Moreover, it is the State's right to elaborate proposals to remedy these gaps in Early Childhood Education in order to achieve a decent education.
