Representações de gênero nas imagens dos livros didáticos de matemática: um olhar crítico a partir da educação matemática e da pedagogia visual

Resumo

This study analyzes the representation of women in elementary school Mathematics textbooks, emphasizing the pedagogical implications of images in the construction or deconstruction of gender stereotypes. Teaching materials, in addition to conveying content, also express social and cultural values, influencing the formation of identities and subjectivities. In this context, the school constitutes a formative space that can both reproduce inequalities and promote critical and emancipatory practices. The general objective is to analyze images present in collections of Mathematics textbooks, discussing female representation, their pedagogical functions, and implications in the training process of teachers and students. The investigation is grounded in a qualitative, documentary approach, using as its corpus collections approved by the National Textbook and Teaching Material Program. The analysis of the images was based on a classification that distinguishes illustrative, decorative, communicative, and epistemic functions, in articulation with Gramscian concepts of cultural hegemony and Critical Mathematics, as well as drawing on discussions of gender and the critical pedagogy of visuality. Preliminary results reveal progress regarding the inclusion of female figures, though these are still limited to traditional roles, such as household chores and caregiving contexts. We also observed that many of these images appear disconnected from the mathematical content, reducing their educational potential and reinforcing stereotypes. Thus, the research highlights the need for publishing policies more committed to equity and teaching practices capable of critically reinterpreting such representations, fostering a more inclusive and transformative Mathematics Education.
