GONCALVES, Josiane Peres  and  OLIVEIRA, Edicleia Lima de. School community of Mato Grosso do Sul: reflecting the faculty of work gender male. Educação. Porto Alegre [online]. 2017, vol.40, n.2, pp.275-285. ISSN 1981-2582.  https://doi.org/10.15448/1981-2582.2017.2.24393.

This study aims to identify the social representations of male teachers, school managers and family of early childhood education students and early years of elementary school in the city of Corumbá (MS), in relation to the work of male teachers with children. The methodology consists of the recording of semi-structured interviews, which were later transcribed, systematized and analyzed. The study included a total of ten people, five of early childhood education and five of the early years of elementary school. The results indicate that in both investigated levels of education no major problems related to the work of the men teachers in Corumbá. However, the fear of what the family will think and social representations that the woman is the best person to care for and educate children in school exert influence so that there is an ever-decreasing number of male teachers working in the first two stages of basic education.

Keywords : Gender; Teaching; Child Education; Elementary School.
