Violencia de género y desigualdad. Estudio de caso en el 7mo año de educación general básica, de una unidad educativa fiscal

Abstract

The work is a case study that arises from a social problem, called gender violence. This was detected in a fiscal educational institution in the city of Quito. After participant observation, it`s reflected that the reproduction of stereotypes by the teacher generates violence and inequalities between boys and girls. Therefore, the general objective is to analyze gender violence as an originator of inequality in the classroom; in direction to recognize the connection between the two categories of study, the causes and consequences that alter the integral development of the student. For this analysis, a qualitative methodology is followed. Through the application of instruments of the ethnographic method and the contrast with the literature, the following results are achieved: In the classroom, the production (teacher) and reproduction (students) of stereotypes is evidenced, generating three types of violence: physical, psychological, and symbolic. Further, it was found that generalized stereotypes make the value of women invisible and determine social roles in the educational environment, causing inequality. The monographic work follows this sequence: index, introduction, antecedents, theoretical framework, results, conclusions and bibliographic references.
