EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL, GÊNERO E MORALIDADE: UMA PROPOSTA DE FORMAÇÃO HUMANA

Abstract

: Early childhood education, through the Law of Guidelines and Bases, aims at the integral develop-ment of children from zero to five years in its physical, affective, cognitive and social aspects. In this phase, children learn pedagogical content in a playful way, experience socializing and respect for others without strangers, be they sexist, racist or any difference that, unfortunately, society translates as prejudice. In this paper, we seek to show an excerpt of the Master’s research on morality and gender in Early Childhood Education. The goal is to present one of the results obtained about what children think about moral judgment and gender issues. The methodology had a qualitative character and the technique used was the focus group. The children’s responses make it possible to understand how much their speeches are without prejudice, learned socially. This space of Early Childhood Educa-tion reveals itself as a fertile ground for the construction of a more human, autonomous and less sexist formation.
