摘要

摘要在本研究中,我们考察了荷兰中学语文和数学教科书中的性别和性表现。我们分析了13本语言教科书(N = 7347)和12本数学教科书(N = 4591)中的所有男女角色。我们的研究结果证实了我们基于隐性课程理论的预期:女性角色在所有教科书中的代表性不足(语言教科书中占40%,数学教科书中占44%),但在家务劳动和教育、卫生和福利(EHW)职业中的代表性过高。男性角色在职业角色中所占比例过高,尤其是在STEM(科学、技术、工程和数学)专业和技术任务中。此外,语言教科书中的女性角色在父母角色中被过度代表,而男性角色在性格和行为不和谐的角色中被过度代表。我们在所有教科书中都没有发现性少数群体的角色。总之,与隐性课程理论相一致,荷兰教科书包含了性别刻板印象的信息,是异性恋的。这些发现与之前的研究相关,这些研究证明了这些偏见对儿童的负面影响。建议希望更具包容性的出版商和学校在选择书中的故事和榜样时更加挑剔。

Hidden in Plain Sight: Gender Bias and Heteronormativity in Dutch Textbooks
Abstract In this study, we examined gender and sexuality representation in language and math textbooks for Dutch secondary education. We analyzed all male and female characters in 13 language textbooks (N = 7,347) and 12 math textbooks (N = 4,591). Our results confirmed our expectations based on the theory of the hidden curriculum: female characters were underrepresented in all textbooks (40% in language, 44% in math textbooks), but overrepresented in household tasks and EHW (Education, Health, and Welfare) professions. Male characters were overrepresented in occupational roles, especially in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) professions and technical tasks. Further, female characters in language textbooks were overrepresented in parental roles, and male characters were overrepresented among characters with disharmonious traits and behaviors. We found no characters from sexual minorities in any of the textbooks. In conclusion, in line with theories of the hidden curriculum, Dutch textbooks include gender stereotypic messages and are heteronormative. These findings are relevant in light of previous studies demonstrating the negative impact of these biases on children. Publishers and schools that want to be more inclusive are recommended to be more critical in their selection of stories and role models in their books.
