FATORES ASSOCIADOS À EQUIDADE DE GÊNERO E PODER EM INSTITUIÇÕES DE ENSINO: PERCEPÇÕES E DESAFIOS NOS INSTITUTOS FEDERAIS DE EDUCAÇÃO, CIÊNCIA E TECNOLOGIA NO ESTADO DE GOIÁS

Abstract

This research is part of the Master's Degree Programme in Professional and Technological Education (ProfEPT) of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology (IF Goiano) and its general objective was to identify and analyse the factors associated with gender and power in educational institutions, seeking gender equity in access and permanence in the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology of IF Goiano - Campus Ceres and IF Goiás - Campus Uruaçu. Thus, this study was carried out in the form of publications and is linked to the line of research in Management, Organisation and Memories in Professional and Technological Education and as a macro-project, Inclusion and Diversity in formal and non formal teaching spaces in EFA. The research was divided into three stages, the first being a systematic literature review. The databases used for the systematic review were Portal Periódicos Capes, ISI Web of Science, Scielo, Science@Direct and Scopus, from January 2013 to December 2023. The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted and structured using the Parsifal tool, with 12 articles selected. The second stage was carried out using primary data collection, consisting of a semi-structured interview with 15 male and female civil servants who held management positions in 2023 at the Federal Institute of Goiás - Ceres Campus and the Federal Institute of Goiás - Uruaçu Campus. This is a qualitative case study, using bibliographical, documentary and empirical research to contextualise the topic. The data collected was organised and categorised, followed by a descriptive analysis of the information collected through the interviews, using Bardin's thematic analysis technique. In the process of analysing the interviews, based on the objectives of this research and the literature used, categories were created in order to present and discuss the results. In consolidating the analysis, we sought to correlate the quantitative and qualitative factors that influence access to and retention in positions of power. The results and discussions were carried out by critically reading their content and using Iramuteq software to tabulate and analyse them. In the third stage, based on the data analysed, an Educational Product (EP) was created, in the form of a digital book aimed at the internal and external IF Goiano community. The results show that despite the considerable increase in the number of female civil servants on campuses in recent administrations, gender influences access to and retention in positions of power. The highest salaries continue to be concentrated in male hands, contributing to gender discrimination and proving that federal institutes have a sexist profile. The results of this research point to the need to strengthen state public policies and educational management at an organisational level and to take action to tackle gender equality in educational institutions.
