Education for Gender Equality

an Experience in the 1st Cycle of Basic Education

Abstract

 This article focuses on the issue of education for gender equality, in the context of education in the 1st cycle, held in the academic year 2017-2018. The study started from the collection of children's conceptions about gender equality for the elaboration of a set of playful-pedagogical activities that promoted positive attitudes towards gender equality. Structured from a qualitative perspective of the investigation, action research was adopted as a strategy, using observation and semi-structured interviews, mobilizing field notes and interview guidelines, whose data were subjected to content analysis, resulting in a process of reflection and reconstruction practices adapted to the context and the group of children that fostered equality and allowed to deconstruct stereotype.
