- Livros Viajantes Inclusivos: falar sobre questões LGBT nos jardins de infância e escolas do 1.º cicloPublication . Ferreira, EduardaEste artigo apresenta o projeto 'Livros Viajantes Inclusivos', desenvolvido pela SEIES - Sociedade de Estudos e Intervenção em Engenharia Social, em parceria com as bibliotecas escolares, nas escolas do ensino básico do concelho de Setúbal. O projeto ‘Livros Viajantes Inclusivos’ tem como objetivo promover atividades em contexto escolar sobre a não discriminação com base na orientação sexual e na identidade de género. O foco central do projeto é o potencial da literatura infantojuvenil para a promoção de uma sociedade inclusiva e baseada no respeito pela diversidade. Ao longo dos anos letivos em que foi implementado, de 2015 a 2019, o projeto 'Livros Viajantes Inclusivos' teve como principais resultados, nos cinco agrupamentos de escolas envolvidos, o desenvolvimento de atividades de exploração de livros infantis com 20 grupos de crianças do pré-escolar e 156 turmas do 1.º ciclo do ensino básico, num total de cerca de 4000 crianças. No âmbito deste projeto foi realizada a oficina de formação LER PARA A IGUALDADE, em parceria com a Escola Superior de Educação de Setúbal, com o objetivo de dar resposta às necessidades de formação das/os docentes envolvidas/os. São apresentadas e analisadas as atividades realizadas no contexto da formação e os impactos na prática profissional das/os participantes.
- Gender and ICT: school and gender stereotypesPublication . Ferreira, EduardaInformation and communication technologies (ICT) are intertwined with almost every aspect of our daily lives, they have become central to the way we communicate, work and socialize. ICT are increasingly a structural aspect of societies, however, ICT continue to be a highly gendered area of life in all socioeconomic and educational backgrounds, and a source of significant social inequality in enduring ways. This paper reports on an ongoing research project ‘Gender@ICT’ which explores the interrelations of gender and technologies in an educational context in Portugal, based on focus groups and group activities (games with images related to ICT and gender) with preschool children and 9th grade students. The results bring evidence that ICT is highly related to gender stereotypes which affect boys and girls representations and practices, including their educational and career choices.
- Using electronic sensors to support gender neutral STEM activities in primary schoolPublication . Silva, Maria João; Ferreira, Eduarda; Batista, SusanaThe Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) gender divide is still a nowadays multidimensional problem. During the last decades, research has been studying the factors that can contribute to close the gender gap in what concerns participation, achievement and progression in STEM education. The empirical study presented in this paper assessed, with a gender perspective, the results of the use of electronic sensors to explore and solve environmental health problems by children of four primary school classes. The developed experiment was designed to promote gender inclusion. The results evidenced that children acquired knowledge linked to the use of the sensors, and were able to produce suggestions to solve the explored problems. Nonetheless, gender differences were not promoted by the experiment didactic activities, evidencing affordances of such activities to narrow gender gaps.
- Young people’s digital competences: does gender matter?Publication . PEREIRA DA COSTA FERREIRA, MARIA EDUARDA; Silva, Maria JoãoThis research explores the intersections between gender and young people’s self-perceived digital competences. Previous research has identified differences between the self-perceived digital competences of girls and boys, but this paper further explores these differences comparing the ratings of ICT related curricular units with the self-perceived digital competences. A case study in one basic education school of Setúbal, Portugal, analyzed by gender the ratings to the ICT related curricular units, and the results of a digital competences self-assessment online questionnaire. The ICT related curricular units’ ratings showed that girls and boys have similar results, however the digital competences self-assessment online questionnaire identifies a lower self-perceived digital competence of girls, and decreasing as they get older. This understanding of how girls’ self-perceived digital competences vary with age is an important information to organize educational actions to reinforce girls’ self confidence in their digital competences and promote gender equality in technology-related professions.
- Gender dynamics in STEM education: students and pre-service teachers’ voicesPublication . PEREIRA DA COSTA FERREIRA, MARIA EDUARDA; Silva, Maria João; Azevedo Gomes, Cristina; Monteiro, R.; Coelho, L.Building on previous research on ICT and gender, this paper explores the interrelations between gender and STEM in educational contexts in Portugal. The research aims to improve the understanding of the co-production of gender and STEM careers and to develop strategies to promote gender equity in STEM. The methodology was based on a structured workshop divided into five phases (representations, facts analysis, causes and impacts, attitudes, and strategies), each designed to address a critical aspect of the intersection of gender and STEM. Aligned with an advocacy/participatory framework, this methodology empowers participants to actively engage in the dialogue on gender equity in STEM and take meaningful actions toward fostering more inclusive environments. The study involved two distinct populations: pre-service elementary school teachers from a higher education institution and ninth-grade students. This selection was based on prior research emphasizing the influence of elementary teachers’ attitudes toward gender and STEM careers on students’ educational choices, which are made at the end of ninth grade in the Portuguese education system. The results indicated differences in the representations and attitudes of ninth-grade students and pre-service teachers regarding the gender gap in STEM, as well as variations in how girls and boys perceive and approach this issue.
- Espaço escolar e gênero – a (re)produção do binarismo de gêneroPublication . Cicconetti, J.; PEREIRA DA COSTA FERREIRA, MARIA EDUARDA; Silva, Maria Joao
- Gender and digital technologiesPublication . PEREIRA DA COSTA FERREIRA, MARIA EDUARDA; Silva, Maria JoaoThis entry explores the multifaceted intersections of gender and digital technologies, offering a comprehensive analysis of how structural inequalities are reproduced, contested, and transformed in digital contexts. It is structured into six interrelated sections that collectively address key dimensions of gendered digital contexts. It begins by addressing the gender digital divide, particularly in the Global South, emphasizing disparities in access, literacy, and sociocultural constraints. The second section examines gendered labor in the tech industry, highlighting persistent inequalities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education, employment, and platform-based work. The third part focuses on gender representation in digital spaces, revealing how algorithmic and platform design perpetuate biases. The fourth section discusses gender bias in AI and disinformation, underscoring the systemic nature of digital inequalities. This is followed by an analysis of online gender-based violence, particularly its impact on marginalized communities and participation in digital life. The final section considers the potentials and limitations of digital activism in advancing gender justice. These sections collectively argue for an intersectional, inclusive, and justice-oriented approach to technology policy and design, calling for coordinated global efforts to create equitable digital futures.
