Historically, in the context of education, the role of teachers in Early Childhood Education (EI) and in the early grades of Elementary School (SIEF) has always been predominately female. Recently, however, an insertion movement of male students happened in Pedagogy courses and, consequently, they are entering classrooms to work in Early Childhood Education and in the early grades of Elementary School. In this context, this research investigated the challenges faced by those who are a part of a universe composed almost entirely of female professionals; attempting to uncover if there is evidence of prejudice or if they are even stigmatized when it comes to gender issues. The research has as main objects men who are a part of the Pedagogy Graduate course, male teachers in Early Childhood Education system and also male teachers in the early grades of Elementary School, working in the state of São Paulo, both the capital and surrounding cities. With a brief bibliographic review on the concept of gender and its relation with female domination regarding the teaching profession, this research is aimed at understanding and discussing the meanings and the problems with gender issues in the places where the researched objects are inserted. Specifically, we try to answer the following questions related to Pedagogy students and teachers: Why choose the Pedagogy Graduate course? Why study and work in a field which is practically composed almost entirely of female professionals, willing to suffer with prejudice? Does being a male professional in this field change the meaning of education and performance? Addressing those concerns, the dissertation consists of qualitative research methodology, also using a questionnaire to elaborate a profile, interviews were recorded with a question guide previously structured. 22 people were interviewed. Among them, 5 pairs composed by a man and a woman were students of the Pedagogy Graduate course, and other 6 pairs of teachers also composed by a man and a woman in the Early Childhood Education and teachers in the early grades of Elementary School as well. The performed analysis indicate that, in general, the entry of men into pedagogy and his reintegration into teaching exercise in these segments of education provokes reactions of prejudice and stigma. Noting this, our question was about how these reactions occur with the interviewed people, discussing gender relations, and masculinity in feminized environments. Through these discussions, we brought a small contribution to the academic field, with regard to masculinity and teaching.
