Los estereotipos de género presentes en la educación inicial.

Abstract

This work entitled "Gender stereotypes present in Early Education" aims to identify how gender stereotypes are strengthened gender stereotypes on the initial sub-level II of an Initial Education Center in the city of Quito. These stereotypes are entrenched ideas that have existed in society for many years, which establish how a man and a woman should behave and the roles you must play based on your gender. The problem was raised from the search for equality in the school environment, as these stereotypical ideas trigger differences and inequities between children in the learning teaching process. The data collection of this research was developed from the qualitative methodology and the ethnographic method, which allowed information to be obtained in the context of the subjects involved. In addition, the technique of participating observation was used; field diaries and an interview as information-gathering tools. Likewise, the hermeneutic method was used to present and interpret the data. The main findings found were that gender stereotypes are reinforced at different times of the daily day; that there are materials and resources that reproduce these stereotypes at the initial level; that there is naturalization on the part of the teacher by expressing himself in male language; and that the most obvious stereotype was the one that has to do with traditional roles.
