A influência que pesquisadoras da área de matemática promovem para a nova geração de meninas: produção de livreto – possibilidades e desafios

Abstract

In this research I approach female empowerment in the exact sciences, especially Mathematics, through the production of a booklet, in order to arouse the interest of girls attending high school in the municipalities of Tabatinga and Amaturá, in the interior of Amazonas, to follow this area. During the study, I highlighted the implications that the booklet brought to the ten research participants. In the speech, I describe the perceptions of those involved in relation to their professional aspirations after reading the booklet. The investigation is qualitative in nature and uses a questionnaire and participant observation. I verify during the process that the material produced has the potential to become a useful tool in the school environment, with great possibilities of offering categorical and specific knowledge, giving room to the new generation of girls to feel motivated by the personalities in the booklet and consider the areas of exact sciences, specifically Mathematics, as a career.
