Abstract(s)
A educação de infância tem sido assegurada maioritariamente por
mulheres e a profissão de Educador é tradicionalmente associada ao género
feminino. Recentemente, o número de homens na profissão aumentou na
Europa. Contudo, o papel do educador masculino tem sido pouco estudado. No
intuito de contribuir para esse corpo de conhecimento, procuramos estudar as
diferenças e semelhanças nos comportamentos interativos dos educadores e
das educadoras com crianças de 3 anos sem problemas de desenvolvimento.
Neste estudo, educadores e educadoras são observadas independentemente
na mesma situação experimental como parceiros numa atividade lúdica de
construção e analisa-se a qualidade interativa e comunicativa dos Educadores.
Para o efeito, foi pedido a 10 educadores e 11 educadoras que realizassem,
em 20 minutos, um produto à sua escolha com os materiais e ferramentas
disponibilizadas.
Pretendia-se: i) descrever e comparar os produtos realizados pelas
díades masculinas e femininas, bem como as escolhas de materiais; ii)
comparar a qualidade interativa dos educadores e das educadoras quanto à
empatia, atenção, reciprocidade, cooperação, elaboração/fantasia e desafio
proposto; e iii) a qualidade da comunicação. Os dados parecem indicar que
existem algumas diferenças na forma de comunicar das educadoras e dos
educadores mas poucas diferenças na qualidade interativa. A experiência
profissional, a situação de emprego e o facto de serem ou não pais condicionou
o comportamento dos Educadores.
Abstract: Early childhood education has been ensured mostly by women, and this profession is traditionally associated with the feminine gender. Recently, the number of men in this profession has increased in Europe. However, the role of the male educator is understudied. In order to contribute to this body of knowledge, we studied the differences and similarities of the interactive behavior of male and female educators with children with 3 years old without developing problems. In this study, female and male educators were observed independently in the same experimental situation as partners with the child in a playful activity of construction. Later, we analyzed the interactive and communicative quality of Educators. For that purpose, 10 male educators and 11 female educators built a product of their choice, with the child, with the materials and tools available in about 20 minutes. This study aims were to: i) describe and compare products made by male and female dyads, as well as the choice of materials; ii) compare the interactive behavior of male and female educators regarding empathy, ability to challenge the child, dialogical interaction, communication contends and cooperativity with child; and iii) the quality of communication. Our findings indicate differences in the way male and female educators communicate but fewer differences in the interactive quality. The professional experience, employment status and parenthood seemed to affect their behavior.
