Genero trataeraren azterketa natura zientzien alorreko testuliburu eta ikasgaietan.

Abstract

Gender bias exist in many aspects of our society, and science is not an exception. The experts in this field indicate that education can be a key factor to end with gender bias and therefore, co-education should be guaranteed. Thus, educational materials and methodology must be reviewed in order to ensure their suitability. The appropriate educational material represents women and men in an equivalent manner, avoiding stereotypes and sexist language, hence, providing proper models to young students. In this research, 14 textbooks from two different high schools have been analyzed in order to evaluate gender treatment. Apart from textbook analysis, teachers of these subjects have been interviewed to know their point of view and compare it to the obtained data. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that our textbooks do not respect gender equality because women are underrepresented and some stereotypes are still present. Nonetheless, some textbooks present exercises related to the integration of female scientists’ works. Hence, there is still a room for improvement and sensitization of educational system is essential for the disappearance of gender bias from the classrooms.; Gizarteko beste hainbat alorretan bezala, zientziaren alorrean ere genero-bereizkeria gertatzen da. Adituek diotenez, hezkuntza izan daiteke egoera honi bukaera emateko giltza eta hezkidetzaren bermakuntza garrantzitsua da horretarako. Honela, ikasgelan erabiltzen diren metodologia eta ikasmaterialak egokiak ote diren ezagutzea ezinbestekoa da. Hezkidetzaren ikuspuntutik, gizon eta emakumeen trataera orekatu eta ez estereotipatu bat eskaini beharko litzaieke nerabeei, hizkuntza sexista saihestuz eta ikasle guztien garapena bermatzeko eredu egokiak eskainiz. Lan honetan, Donostiako bi ikastetxetan erabilitako 14 liburu aztertu dira aipatutako baldintzak betetzen ote diren zehazteko. Gainera, ikastetxe hauetako zientzietako ikasgaietako irakasleei galdeketa bat pasa zaie beraien ikuspuntuak bildu eta jasotako datuekin alderatzeko asmoz. Lortutako emaitzetatik ondoriozta daitekenez, testuliburuek ez dute genero trataera orekatu bat mantentzen eta oraindik hainbat estereotipo aurki daitezke. Dena den, aipatzekoa da testuliburu gutxi batzuetan emakume zientzialarien integraziorako jarduerak proposatzen direla. Beraz, asko dago hobetzeko eta hezkuntza-sistemaren sentsibilizazioa ezinbestekoa da genero bereizkeria ikasgeletatik ezabatzeko..GAKO-HITZAK: genero-bereizkeria, testuliburuak, emakume zientzialariak, hezkidetza, batxilergoa.
