Impactos da educação feminista na formação crítica e autônoma de estudantes dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This paper aims to reflect on feminist education and how its promotion contributes to students’ critical and autonomous education. The research adopted a bibliographical methodology with a qualitative approach, based on books, articles, websites and legislation. To develop the research, the work was divided into three chapters. The first chapter deals with feminisms and, to substantiate it, authors such Simone de Beauvoir (1970), Céli Pinto (2010), Vanessa Berner (2017), Djamila Ribeiro (2017), Ana Beatriz dos Anjos (2021), Pierre Bourdieu (2012), Carla Akotirene (2019), Patricia Hill Collins (2022) and other authors who were added throughout the research were used. The second chapter discusses feminist education and critical and autonomous training, based on the works of Guacira Louro (2003), Sônia Barrachi (2004), Júlia Campos (2022), Adriano Maslowski and Andressa Martins (2023), Daniel Cara (2019), Paulo Freire (1965, 1973, 1996) and bell hooks (2013, 2019). The last chapter discusses feminist education in the school environment, highlighting studies by Kelly Sakata and Caroline Viana (2021), Suênia Pinto and Sandra Montenegro (2016), Márcia Silva and Eliane Godinho (2017), Teresa Cristina Rego (1995), Letícia Silva and Leonice Mourad (2022), Joana D’arc Nascimento (2022), as well as Brazilian legislation and other scholars who were fundamental to the development of the aspects discussed. In view of this, it is essential to understand the issue, since various minority populations, with an emphasis on women, are affected by forms of inequality and discrimination. As education is an instrument for transforming society, it is urgent to adopt a model based on the principles of the feminist movement, in order to help break down violence against women. This must be based on critical, autonomous and reflective training, aimed at developing teaching that values, plays a leading role in and promotes democracy, equity and justice for all. Since education is a means of social reproduction and coexistence, it is essential to promoting a space for mutual respect
