Percepción del profesorado español de diferentes etapas educativas respecto a cuestiones de igualdad de género en el ámbito docente=Perception of Spanish Professors of different educational stages regarding gender equality issues in the educational field

Abstract

<p><strong>Resumen</strong></p><p>En el presente trabajo, se pretende analizar la percepción del profesorado respecto a la introducción de la perspectiva de género en el ámbito educativo. Para ello, se presentan los resultados de un sondeo de opinión que se llevó a cabo entre más de doscientos docentes que acudieron a una jornada de formación, en el que se plantearon diferentes cuestiones relativas a la igualdad de género en el campo de la educación. El análisis de estos resultados muestra que, aunque se atisban mejoras −a tenor de la percepción del profesorado− con respecto a ciertas cuestiones concretas, aún queda un largo camino por recorrer para lograr la igualdad real entre mujeres y hombres en el sector docente.</p><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>In the present work, an analysis of the perception of professors regarding the introduction of the gender perspective in the educational field is carried out. For this purpose, the results of an opinion questionnaire that was carried out among more than two hundred teachers who attended a training session are presented, in which different questions related to gender equality in the field of education were raised. The analysis of these results shows that, although some improvements can be noticed –according to the perception of the professors– with regard to certain specific issues, there is still a long way to go to achieve real equality between women and men within the educational field.</p>

The Gender Gap in Engineering Programs in Colombia

“…In contrast, countries such as Spain have similar enrollment indexes to South America, with 33% of women in STEM programs (García-Holgado et al, 2020). In countries such as the U.S., the gender gap is accentuated in the workplace, where women earn less than men in STEMrelated occupations (Sterling et al, 2020).…”

“…The exposure of girls at an early age to role models encourages selecting STEM careers and is recognized as an essential step to reduce the gender gap (Breda et al, 2020). However, there is still a long way to go in this regard, considering the gender gaps between teachers and researchers in the STEM areas (Rodríguez-Rodríguez, Rodríguez, Ramallo-González, and Elizondo-Moreno, 2020). It should be noted that women's performance in STEM areas is no longer considered a factor in the existing gender gap.…”

“…It should be noted that women's performance in STEM areas is no longer considered a factor in the existing gender gap. Previous studies showed that women in these areas could perform equally or better than men (Rodríguez-Rodríguez et al, 2020), and that women with higher performance at the schools are the ones who select STEM as a career path (Cimpian et al, 2020).…”
