Abstract

The society has established a series of guidelines which has been assigned to every individual according to their sex, in this way, a social conception has been made which allows the gender construction and within the social roles. Children's growing stereotypes mark their lives at home as well as at schools with actions that start in early stages of their childhood and go on so far. During the pre-professional practices it was observed that students are being influenced by a gender stereotype in which some activities are divided between boys and girls causing a lack of socio educational inclusion. The present research analyzed gender stereotypes and its effect in the development of the classroom activities in fifth grade in a School in Quito city. This research marked a qualitative approach within a descriptive scope, using different collecting data techniques like the daily diary, interviews and participative observation about kids and teachers from fifth grade. This research concludes that the lack of awareness ends on classroom stereotypes about the urgent necessity of educational and social inclusion as well as teachers’ and students’ gender; which would be possible with an everyday practice; we could achieve this if inclusive and less discriminatory tasks were possible.
