Gênero na educação de jovens e adultos, um desafio para a gestão escolar

Abstract

This paper proposes an approach of gender issues in a public school, the municipality of Araricá / RS, linking the actions of school management in such situations. For this research we developed a qualitative, case study, involving ten students of the EJA. The methodological approach was through an interview with the focus group technique with a group of 8th Grade EJA, night. The problem is related to the lack of effective mechanisms created through democratic management in a school environment seeking combat discrimination suffered by women in society. As a general objective aims to understand how the School Management has been working with the issue of gender in the EJA. The specific objectives intended to rescue the history of EJA in Brazil, the schooling of women in the country and its role in building society, demonstrating through these, their achievements and setbacks. It also seeks to instill awareness of rights and the denaturalization of female inferiority. The reflections from the construction and the results showed that managers are limited to program actions alluding to International Women's Day; these actions are incorporated into the culture of the school, but not covered in the Political Pedagogical Project School. The students understand that discussing gender in adult education can be an incentive for them to reconcile work, study and family. To reverse this situation the school management should consider their actions with these discussions as a tool in building citizenship of women involved in this process.
