This article addresses the presence of men as teachers in early childhood education. The
objective is to analyze what are the representations built about the teachers who work in
Early Childhood Education using bibliography pertinent to the theme and the analysis of the
films A Strip in Kindergarten (1990) and A Strip in Kindergarten 2 (2016). This is qualitative
research, using the Cultural History to analyze the practices and representations present in
the works analyzed. It was found with this work that the academic literature addresses the
estrangement that teachers face when assuming the teaching of babies and young children.
This issue is especially linked to gender stereotypes, notions of motherhood and
representations of who are people "naturally" responsible and able to exercise the care of
children and babies. It was found that all these issues are linked to women, being the most
accepted teachers to work with young children and babies. Teachers in Early Childhood
Education suffer prejudice and need to stand out and demonstrate competence in their work
to be respected and accepted in a territory that is seen as not belonging to them. The film
analysis allows us to realize that the representations built in fiction are close to the real issues
experienced daily by Brazilian teachers. Finally, it is hoped that the work can contribute to
the debates to understand Early Childhood Education as a teaching space also of men and
deconstruct gender prejudices linked to the profession. |
