Os saberes docentes sobre gêneros e sexualidades presentes nas práticas das professoras de uma escola de educação infantil

Abstract

From my experience as a teacher of High School from a Teacher Training Course, I have felt the need to search the way children s sexuality is treated in Kindergarten. This idea of researching has also occurred by the questions brought by my students who wish how to deal with this subject in the school environment and, therefore, to understand the words from the teachers who are still working with this segment. So to find answers to my questions, this present research has been conducted in a Municipal School named Unidade Municipal de EducaçãoInfantil - UMEI Vinicius de Moraes, in Niterói - RJ and on close observation at this school spacetime, in many cases seen as a place which is full of rules, silences, exclusion and punishment related to sexuality, we assume through the speeches of the teachers that exist a preknowledge beyond the academic knowledge, made up from all its historic background; thus, to produce cultural knowledge that will legitimate their positions and practices. Besides interviews and conversations outside the classrooms, I seek for the methodological perspective to / from / with daily routines presented by Alves (2008) as a facilitator to explain the facts presented as there is the need to undergo this researcher in the spaces / school days, dedicating themselves to the subjects, where the actions of everyday produced / performed are observed attentively, respecting the subjectivity of the subject and the researcher.
