Resumen
This research was developed from the perception about how men behave in
society, since they need to adapt to the socially established patterns of
masculinity and virility, submitting to certain sufferings in order to feel adjusted,
a fact that extends to the school environment, considering that it is
characterized as an integral part of the society. Therefore, the study aimed to
understand teachers' perceptions about the influence of hegemonic patterns of
masculinity, identify how teachers deal with the influences of toxic masculinities
and understand how the toxicities, derived from the hegemonic pattern, interfer
with the experiences of heterosexual teachers and homosexual teachers. Thus,
we define the following research question: What are the teachers' perceptions
about the influences of toxic masculinities in the construction of their identities?
How do the values of a hegemonic pattern of masculinity interfere in the
formation of these individuals as men and teachers? The data collection that
supported this research was performed with the aid of two collection
instruments: participant-observation and, especially, the operative group.
Pichon Rivière (2005) emphasizes that the creation of an operative group
allows a discussion that leads participants to reflect about certain theme, in this
case, about the influence of toxic masculinities in the personal and professional
lives of male teachers. Thus, seven male teachers from the state public school
system participated in this research, sharing knowledge, yearnings and feelings
during the debates. The debates generated the discourses that supported the
research results, which, through content analysis (BARDIN, 2011), allowed us
to find that toxic masculinities contaminate and condition the formation of man,
putting him in a situation of subordination in relation to hegemonic masculinity
and consequently its values are reproduced in the school environment,
reinforcing toxic relationships, leading to practices lacking affection and based
on fear and authoritarianism. In addition, teachers' perceptions indicate a
certain uneasiness, which led to the questioning of the segregating, coercive
and oppressive practices arising from hegemonic masculinity, which cause
suffering and hindering the formation of man as a human being.
