Abstract

It was characterized the socializing influence at the Primary School Calixto Garcia Íñiguez". A group of children (4^th grade) participated in the school sports practice; as methodological tool the gender perspective was taken.  The methodology developed was the qualitative one, and as procedures the observation and the interview. Among the main results it was corroborated that despite of the reached formal equality, the sexism continues in the socializing processes; starting from a learning that reproduces relative behavioral patterns to masculinity and femininity, which have a strong impact in the girls and boys participation in the school sports practice; that consequently it determines a smaller incursion of women in certain sports modalities.
