For a feminist epistemology:

Theoretical-methodological notes to strengthen discussions on gender relations in the field of Education

Abstract

When it comes to power, we automatically refer to the hierarchy between oppressors and oppressed, and also between dominators and dominated. Since, in these relationships where there is the involvement of men and women, men generally dominate the main role of oppressor. In this context, this article intends to promote the thematic issues of feminism, Marxism and gender relations in the field of education, highlighting some authors and researchers who contributed to the definition of gender and its consequent implications. In order to break these barriers of stereotypes and differences, in the educational field this factor is identified as a path that allows both teachers and students to acquire new perceptions and experiences about the existing standards in society, seeking to reduce conflicts between men and women; giving more openness to learn from differences. The development of the article was based on a qualitative research of an exploratory nature. However, this division ends up imposing less control over the use of time on women and constitutes a fundamental element in the process of capital accumulation. Thus, analyzes on work and gender cannot be carried out without considering the different types of activities carried out mainly by women, who are often not considered work in their general definition.
