Gender-Based Women's History Learning as an Effort to Answer the 21st-Century Challenge

摘要

Learning the history of women is still set aside in learning at school in Indonesia. Gender issues become a sensitive content for the world of education, especially in Malang, Indonesia. The history curriculum is still dominated by the role of figures or heroes from male groups rather than women's groups. The research method for this article is a literature study. The role of the female figure is still around the companion of male figures or as a wife or second class. Whereas Indonesian history records that female leaders also have a role in fighting for Indonesian independence. Thirteen Indonesian female heroes have great services that can still be felt by the people of Indonesia today. The concept of women's history of learning needs to be given a place to provide a more contextual gender perspective. Gender-based women's history learning is an alternative history learning effort to answer 21st-century challenges in the field of education. A better understanding of women's history provides a more interesting perspective to show added value in gender equality. Women potition in history learning needs to explore more to be equal with men potition.
