Gender in school subject: A case-study on Iran's primary levels - school subjects

摘要

In this research, content-analysis method has been used to study the presence of gender ideology and the way gender is represented in Islamic Republic of Iran's education system's school subjects. To achieve this goal, four of primary school's grade five subjects have been selected as the sample to be studied. The results demonstrate that in these books the presence of males (boys) is considerably more than females (girls) and those genders are represented with soundly-segregated features, specifications and careers. The presence ratio of boys to girls in the pictures of these books is approximately 3 to 1 / 3:1. Insert an abstract of 50-100 words, giving a brief account of the most relevant aspects of the paper.
