Resumo: In December 2015, the Brazilian Physical Society created the Working Group on Gender Issues, which has been analysing data involving the participation of girls and women in the universe of physics. Two temporal moments were then studied: an stage during adolescence when the girls take  the Brazilian Physical Olympiads examination and another stage during the professional life of  researchers with consolidated careers whom have been given grants from a Brazilian sponsoring body. In what concerns the first stage, our studies show a clear decline in the percentage of girls with prizes from the 8th year of the fundamental school to the 3rd year of the high school, indicating a reality associated with what is known as the scissors effect, present even before the possible choice of a scientific career. Regarding the second stage, our data show that the research profile of  men and women in physics and astronomy is very similar. However, only one third of the women affiliated to the Brazilian Physical Society and Brazilian Astronomy Society obtain the grant, a situation that remains unaltered for more than a decade.

Dois momentos temporais distintos foram analisados: uma etapa na adolescência, quando as meninas participam das Olimpíadas Brasileiras de Física e uma etapa na vida profissional de pesquisadoras com carreiras consolidadas, que possuem bolsas de produtividade do CNPq. Com relação à primeira etapa, nossos estudos mostram claramente um declínio no percentual de meninas premiadas desde o 8° ano do ensino fundamental até o 3° no ensino médio, indicando um quadro associado ao que se chama efeito tesoura, presente antes mesmo da decisão por uma carreira científica.  Com relação à segunda etapa, nossos dados mostram que o perfil dos pesquisadores bolsistas de física e astronomia é bastante semelhante no que concerne ao gênero, mas apenas um terço do percentual de mulheres pesquisadoras filiadas às Sociedade Brasileira de Física e Sociedade Astronômica Brasileira possuem bolsa, um quadro que permanece estático há mais de uma década. Imprensa Universitária - UFSC2017-08-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/article/view/2175-7941.2017v34n2p34110.5007/2175-7941.2017v34n2p341Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física; v. 34 n. 2 (2017); 341-3432175-79411677-2334reponame:Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/article/view/2175-7941.2017v34n2p341/34625Copyright (c) 2017 Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Físicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMenezes, Débora P.2017-08-09T15:27:45Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/51669Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisicaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/fisica/oaicbefisica@gmail.com||fscccef@fsc.ufsc.br|| cbefisica@gmail.com2175-79411677-2334opendoar:2017-08-09T15:27:45Caderno Brasileiro de Ensino de Física (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
