Women find themselves working in inferior,
poor income jobs, and a situation that characterizes most of female
professions. The main purpose of this research is to examine gender equality
and the extent of gender stereotypes in the Hebrew junior high textbooks.
Studies which were made in this field in
Israel have found that there is general stereotyped perception of men and women
in textbooks and curricula. If educational system is considered as an upmost
importance effecting element in society, it also reflects social, desirable and
common values of society, as well as gender stereotypes and myths in the
textbooks of all levels of learning, in early childhood, elementary school up
to high school graduation, as well as in the matter of study subject.
The study examines the existence of sexual
stereotypes in Junior High Hebrew textbooks and the extent of gender equality
between men and women. The examination is done by an analysis of the content of
three seventh grade textbooks which are studied in schools these days. My
analyzation of contents includes the existence of sexual stereotypes, role
definition, etc.
