Um olhar sobre a inclusão das mulheres no curso técnico integrado em agropecuária do Instituto Federal Farroupilha – Campus São Vicente do Sul

Abstract

The speech referring to women throughout the history and the related construction of gender inequality in the society established the agricultural course having, culturally, a male profile. Taking this fact into account, this work presents the result of a master's thesis that aimed to understand how the inclusion of women in an integrated high school agriculture course on a campus of the Federal Farroupilha Institute (IFFar - Instituto Federal Farroupilha, in Portuguese) has been taking place. The research showed that, despite the late increase in the number of women enrolled in the course, and public policies in favor of it, the gender bias still exists in the Institution. There is still a need for thinking about this subject and the consequent denaturalization of concepts and behaviour that still rooted in today’s society. Being the development of an educational product one of the objectives of the Master's Program in Professional and Technological Education, it was chosen to build a Learning Object that allows the reflection on the subject within the Institution and outside of it.This qualitative research was a case study, with data collection carried out from semi-open questionnaires and the inquiry of documents of the Institution. The data analysis was performed using the Textual Discourse Analysis (ATD - Análise Textual do Discurso, in Portuguese) of Moraes and Galiazzi (2016).
