(Des)igualdade de gênero entre docentes de matemática nas redes de ensino de Cocal-PI

Abstract

Throughout the centuries, the main figures mathematicians were men such as Isaac Newton, Thales of Miletus, and Gauss, among others. However, the significant contributions of women mathematicians do not receive the same privileges and recognition that men in this area have Hypatia, for example, was the first woman with documented mathematical contributions. This situation reflects a history of women's inequality in this field, demonstrating that their contributions must be recognized and valued. In this sense, this project aims to evaluate the presence of women in Mathematics in public schools at Cocal-PI. To this end, qualitative research will be developed, based on semi-structured interviews, of a descriptive nature, to report and characterize facts, situations, and aspects pertinent to the theme of gender (in)equality in this field. Thus, the development of this study will seek to clarify and understand relevant issues that allow discussion aspects related to gender (in)equality in Mathematics, such as the analysis of the participation of female teachers in the professional market in Cocal-PI in comparison to male teachers
