Elementary school of salvador public education system and the gender relations: “escrevivência” regarding the resistance of teachers and the formation of the child as a subject

Abstract

This summary refers to teacher resistance in public education in Salvador. From the “escrevivência” (EVARISTO, 2017) – written from the experiences lived –, the narrative of this work has been developed. The reports present in the text refer to a teaching activity intertwined with the experiences, and therefore there is no separation between personnel and political activity (DAVIS, 1976). It is understood that the experiences enable the formation of the subject, so the construction of the subject is seen as dialectical, because dialectical reason, as Sartre (2002) affirms, is built in the world and throughout the world. The subject, especially with respect to the students of basic education in the public school, is built from the relations with the world. And in the face of difference and intolerance to these differences, children claim respect for their aesthetics as well as their desires. Faced with these differences and a pattern expected by society, but to which children do not fit, they see themselves as an unsuitable being with mental confusion (PIRES, 2010). Then, taking the experience as the sum of the writing, such situations are reported in the article from scenes and facts that make possible the reflection on the school context, mainly with respect to gender and race. Therefore, the main goal of this research, regarding the teacher practice, is to problematize such questions in the classroom, looking at educational transformation in early childhood, through discussions that encompass the existence of prejudice in society. It is understood that the basic education in public school should be contemplated with discussions based on qualified professionals, such as doctoral students, for example, teaching and resisting in these educational system. It seeks to act in teaching as a localized critical subject (HARAWAY, 1995), knowing reality and problematizing, in order to create, before intolerances, an egalitarian society.
