Abstract(s)
As carreiras STEM (ciĂȘncia, tecnologia, engenharia e matemĂĄtica) tornaram-se cada vez mais importantes
nos Ășltimos anos, face ao papel que deverĂŁo ter no desenvolvimento da sociedade e da economia. Mas,
apesar da sua importĂąncia, poucas mulheres decidem prosseguir estudos nesse Ăąmbito. VĂĄrios autores
identificam os fatores crosshairs como autoestima, estereótipos internalizados e assimilação dos papéis de
género. Por tudo isto, este estudo visa obter uma resposta à questão-chave: Serå que as carreiras STEM
são influenciadas por questÔes de género? Em torno desse problema, este trabalho tem como objetivo
analisar dados que permitem verificar que as questÔes de género influenciam a escolha de carreiras
STEM, com base em dados fornecidos pelo Ministério da Educação, Cultura e Desporto acerca das
EstatĂsticas de Educação do Sistema UniversitĂĄrio Espanhol. A metodologia Ă© de natureza quantitativa,
descritiva e com base em anålise documental. Os dados analisados fornecem informaçÔes sobre as
diferentes carreiras que homens e mulheres decidem estudar nas universidades espanholas. Como
resultado, observa-se que hĂĄ uma escassez de mulheres em carreiras mais relacionadas com a tecnologia,
ciĂȘncia e engenharia. Este Ă© um facto muito preocupante, porque, se as mulheres nĂŁo sĂŁo formadas para
desempenhar essas profissÔes, elas não farão parte dos principais avanços sociais.
STEM careers (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) have become very important in recent years, due to the role they are expected to play in the development of society and the economy. Despite its relevance, there are few women who decide to pursue those studies. Various authors point to factors such as self-esteem, the internalization of stereotypes and the assimilation of gender roles. For all this, it aims to answer a key question: Are STEM careers influenced by gender? Around this problem, this work aims to analyze data that allow us to verify that gender issues influence the choice of STEM careers. For this, this article analyzes data provided by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport, about Education Statistics of the Spanish Universities. The methodology is quantitative, descriptive and based on documental analysis. The analyzed data provide information on the different careers that men and women decide to study at universities. As a result, it is noted that there is a shortage of women in careers more related to technology, science and engineering. This is a very worrying fact because if women are not trained to perform these professions, they will not be part of the main social advances.
