Abstract

This paper presents a mapping of women participation as faculty in Technology of Information and Communications at courses IFSC. Due to the absence of this kind of data at Plataforma Nilo Peçanha, data were collected at public domain institutional sources and were organized in a datasheet. The analysis has shown that women represent only 14,56% of faculty members and they teach mainly technical courses, specially the ones integrated to High School. Women with temporary contracts represent a higher percentage compared to men. They also generally have lower degrees. The invisibility of the absence of women in IT teaching is still a major problem.
