Resumo: | The article is part of a qualitative study on gender relations in Physics courses of higher education. The study was conducted between 2014 and 2017, aiming to discuss experiences from women regarding the teaching career in Physics. Specifically in this article, the issues under discussion are related to the professional experiences of female academics at two federal institutions of teaching and research in Brazil: Federal University of Minas Gerais, in Belo Horizonte, and Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, in Rio de Janeiro. The research used semi-structured individual interviews. Male and female researches – professors and heads of departments – were interviewed; however, the article focuses on 11 female academics. Data show that the behavior of professors varies from concealing the femininity to avoid harassment, to supporting and encouraging female students, especially those who are discriminated by male scientists. Also, a tacit devaluation of teaching degrees in comparison to bachelor degrees was observed. |

La investigación se realizó entre 2014 y 2017, con el objetivo de discutir experiencias sobre la carrera docente en Física. Específicamente en este artículo, los temas en discusión son las experiencias profesionales de académicas en dos instituciones federales de enseñanza e investigación: Universidad Federal de Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte) y Universidad Federal do Rio de Janeiro (Rio de Janeiro). La investigación utilizó entrevistas semiestructuradas individuales. Profesionales masculinos y femeninos fueron entrevistados (profesores y jefes de departamento), sin embargo, el artículo se centra en 11 académicas. Los datos muestran que el comportamiento de las investigadoras varía de encubrir la feminidad para evitar el acoso, al apoyo y estímulo (en relación a las alumnas, especialmente aquellas que son discriminadas por científicos hombres). También se observó un desprecio tácito del magisterio en comparación al bachillerato.O artigo é parte de uma pesquisa qualitativa sobre relações de gênero em cursos superiores de Física.

Os dados mostram que o comportamento das acadêmicas varia de escamotear a feminilidade para evitar o assédio ao apoio e incentivo (em relação às estudantes, sobretudo aquelas que foram discriminadas por cientistas do sexo masculino). Também foi observada a desvalorização tácita da licenciatura em comparação ao bacharelado.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2021-06-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/rdes/article/view/2489410.35699/2237-5864.2021.24894Revista Docência do Ensino Superior; Vol. 11 (2021); 1-18Revista Docência do Ensino Superior; Vol. 11 (2021); 1-18Revista Docência do Ensino Superior; v. 11 (2021); 1-182237-58642358-6338reponame:Revista Docência do Ensino Superior (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGenghttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/rdes/article/view/24894/27529Copyright (c) 2021 Marcel de Almeida Freitas, Adla Betsaida Martins Teixeira, Denise Bianca Maduro Silvahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFreitas, Marcel de Almeida Teixeira, Adla Betsaida MartinsSilva, Denise Bianca Maduro2023-02-01T19:30:21Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/24894Revistahttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/rdes/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/rdes/oairevistadocenciaensinosuperior@ufmg.br||2237-58642237-5864opendoar:2023-02-01T19:30:21Revista Docência do Ensino Superior (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false |
