Gender Representation in Learning Materials (eBook, ePUB)

International Perspectives
Redaktion: Mustapha, Abolaji S.; Mills, Sara

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Representations of gender in learning materials convey an implicit message to students about attitudes towards culturally appropriate gender roles for women and men. This collection takes a linguistic approach to exploring theories about gender representation within the sphere of education and textbooks, and their effects on readers and students within an international context. Contributors evaluate the extent to which gendered representations in textbooks perpetuate stereotypical gender roles, what the impact may be on learners, and the ways that both teachers and learners interact and engage with these texts.
