Abstract
Much of the special literature deals with examining textbooks, and during their analyses the underrepresentation of women in the world of teaching aids always comes out. The National Curricula (1995, 2003, 2007, 2012, and the new draft of the NC) serve as the basis for writing textbooks, thus it would be worth starting the examination of horizontal segregation according to gender here. In the current study, the goal is to identify and to map theoretical dimensions. This research introduces female education and stereotypes of women in Hungary, their theoretical background as regards horizontal segregation according to gender, and also introduces „hidden curriculum”. Horizontal segregation according to gender in higher education is easily seen, the goal of this study, however, is to examine its presence in primary school education through the teaching of three subjects: music, history, and physics. This dissertation is the first step in the research which furthers the mapping of the theoretical background.
Highlights
My study bears the title Horizontal segregation according to gender as appears in primary school education
The goal of this study is to look at: when this phenomenon is first identifiable, how much the textbooks and other teaching aids introducing traditional stereotypes affect those standing at the crossroads of career, and to what extent the „hidden curriculum” put out by the school and teachers develops their views
Our goal is to discover students’ views about male-centered subjects, about hidden curriculum, and about horizontal segregation according to gender
Summary
My study bears the title Horizontal segregation according to gender as appears in primary school education. This work was the beginning of other further studies, my goal being to fully examine the underrepresentation of women in the teaching of these subjects. I attempted to select such subjects that were in stark contrast to each other, and represent some of the subject categories – music being a skill subject, history one of humanities, and physics a natural science subject (in higher education, men continue to be the overwhelming majority in this area). The expression in the title „horizontal segregation according to gender” examines the career choices of men and women, and the so-called „traditional” orientation of their occupational choices. The goal of this study is to look at: when this phenomenon is first identifiable, how much the textbooks and other teaching aids introducing traditional stereotypes affect those standing at the crossroads of career, and to what extent the „hidden curriculum” put out by the school and teachers develops their views
