Mapeamento e análise de projetos aprovados na chamada CNPQ/MCTIC nº 31/2018: ações para equidade de gênero nas ciências exatas

Abstract

Making visible and reflecting on actions that empower women in Exact Sciences can encourage the development of gender equity in Mathematics. This thesis, with a qualitative approach, aims to map the projects approved in the CNPq/MCTIC Call No. 31/2018 - Girls in Exact Sciences, Engineering, and Computing, establishing categories that favor data analysis to encourage the development of projects that support and contribute to the dissemination of knowledge in the areas established in the Call for the female audience. This mapping was developed by analyzing the data collected according to three fundamental phases listed by Godoy (1995, p. 24): “pre-analysis, exploration of the material, and treatment of the results”. Six categories were identified: institution, region, name of the project, area of knowledge (of the project and the coordinator), academic level of the coordinator, and social networks. Thus, the Brazilian region and the Institution with the most approved projects are the South Region (29.2%) and the Universidade Federal University do Alagoas, with six projects. The Interdisciplinary category showed the most representation in the area of knowledge, and the first degree of the coordinators was focused on Engineering. Some projects, even the names, were not identified after an search using various trial methods. Of those identified, 61.3% maintain or have maintained (if the project is completed) contact with the public through social networks or websites. This suggests that a broad dissemination of the projects is necessary. Seeking to contribute to this task effectively, this research resulted in a different work, presenting a new form of knowing the projects supported by the CNPq/MCTIC Call No. 31/2018 - Girls in Exact Sciences, Engineering, and Computing, using the Instagram tool as a non-profit means of promotion.
