As representações sociais das professoras na Revista do Ensino do Rio Grande do Sul (1969 - 1976)

Abstract

Throughout the history of teaching, we have been noticing its transformation into a mostly female space. This dissertation is the result of a documental analysis of Revistas do Ensino do RS, from the year 1969 to 1976, which are available in the TATU Digital Repository of the Federal University of Pampa, and whose goal was to identify the social representations of the teachers in this important educational journal. Therefore, 18 copies which contained subsections were analyzed. These subsections were related to home education, health and food, as well as materials which referenced the Educational Reform which occurred from 1971 on and also about the primary teacher. From this analysis, four categories and representations of primary school teachers were extracted, which link them to the mother figure, to figures in the field of health, sex education and to creative and modernizing figures with the aim of forming obedient citizens linked to moral and religious values, who were supposed to be able to work for the development of the country, in addition to the conclusion that Revista do Ensino do RS contributed to the reproduction of gender stereotypes and these culturally produced representations.
