Abstract

In the present study, we investigated the relationship of gender and its implications in educational processes of female students of the course Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Bachelor (BIC&T) at Federal University of Pampa - Campus Itaqui / RS, seeking if students choice were influenced by these relationships. First, we made a literature review about the themes of gender in science and technology higher education, followed by documents analysis referring to data on enrollment, forms of entry and circumvention of BIC&T's academic. Finally, a questionnaire with 43 open-ended questions was applied to 54 academic in order to achieve the proposed objective. Based on the responses, it was noticed that BIC&T women-academic perceive the differences and gender inequalities in choosing a degree course as well as the influence of socialization groups in this process. However the surveyed showed they were not directly influenced by these groups in the choice in applying the BIC&T, but on the point in life where they were. It is suggested that is necessary new studies to determine the relationship between other existing variables that were not addressed in this paper.
