Abstract

The research entitled A HERMENÊUTICA EPISTEMOLÓGICA E ONTOLÓGICA DE GÊNERO NA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA: Uma análise da inserção de professores e professoras no magistério [The epistemological and ontological hermeneutics of gender in basic education: an analysis of the insertion of male and female teachers in the teaching profession] had the intentionality of understanding and analyzing aspects of the professional identity constitution of teachers exercising the teaching profession in the state of Pará as they relate to the conception of identity and gender emphasizing the issue of sex, color/race and higher education. The investigation was carried out through bibliographic studies of exploratory and descriptive character, based on quantitative data involving data from MEC/Inep/Deed/ of the year 2013 and on the analysis of various literary and academic productions. In the first moment the content talks of the demystification of gender, identity and sexuality, analyzing and questioning the epistemological hermeneutics of gender, conceptualizing what gender is; the identity of gender; the ontological hermeneutics of gender versus education and about the teaching career analyzing the issue of gender and sexuality. In the second moment analytical studies on Basic Education and its regulatory legislations were carried out emphasizing the Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Básica Nacional LDBEN [Law of Guidelines and Bases for the National Basic Education] Nº. 9.394/96, effecting a systemic knowledge as to the Organization and Structuring of Basic Education with regard to early childhood education up to Basic Education and Secondary Education, breaking through an evidential perception of the work of teachers at these levels of teaching. And in the third moment a description was produced of the professional work of teachers who are part of the Basic Education system in the state of Pará, emphasizing the statistics as to the number of these with regard to: sex, color/race and higher learning. As evidenced by this investigation one can point out that there is a predominance of women in Basic Education as regards the number of men; there is a prevalence of declaration of color/race being colored among men and women; and there is a significant index of professionals with higher learning. These issues strengthen an instigating conviction that in Basic Education women are predominant while the number of men is still quite reduced in this professional area.
