Gender representations in English literature texts in Tanzanian secondary schools

Gwajima, Elizabeth Kilines Sekwiha January 2011 (has links)
The study explores gender representations in English literature texts used in Tanzanian secondary schools. The aim of this research is to raise awareness of, and contribute to, the general discussion regarding gender equality, and about the meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The goals have been adopted by the government of Tanzania since 2000. The third goal (MDG 3) seeks to promote gender equality and the empowerment of women in all levels of education by 2015. The aim of this thesis was to examine the discourses underpinning the teaching of literature in Tanzanian schools in order to examine the extent to which gender representations within the texts, and as mediated by teachers, supports this discourse of equality. The inquiry is explored through a textual analysis of the texts which were used in secondary schools in Tanzania during observation, using postcolonial and feminist perspectives. The study further involved interviewing literature teachers and students, policy makers and curriculum planners and obtained their views about the representations of gender. Data were collected in six schools in three regions of Tanzania, namely Mwanza, Dodoma and Dar es Salaam. Analytical induction has been used to analyse the data collected from interviews and observation. Findings from textual analysis show that some of the texts selected for study do convey strong messages in favour of demarcation between women’s and men’s traits, roles, and occupations, but others do not. Most of this latter group criticise traditional constructions of masculinity and femininity portraying women as subordinate to men and victims of domestic violence, and traditional African practices such as arranged marriage, female genital mutilation and the denial of educational rights. Findings from observations revealed that the texts were tackled relatively uncritically. Teachers rarely encouraged pupils to engage critically with gender issues arising in the texts. Findings from interviews and observation revealed that teachers are not trained to include the goal in their teaching. The thesis concludes that although some of the literary texts have emancipatory aims as revealed in the textual analysis, the gender equality goal is unlikely to be achieved unless the implicit understandings of gender relations in teachers’ classroom practices are addressed. Recommendations are made on how to promote a more critical engagement with gender issues through the teaching of literature in the Tanzanian context.

Eighth Grade Students&#039 / Skills In Translating Among Different Representations Of Algebraic Concepts

Sert, Ozlem 01 September 2007 (has links) (PDF)
The purpose of this study was to determine eighth grade students&rsquo / skills of translating among different representations / graphic, table, equation, and verbal sentence / of algebraic concepts. Moreover, it was also aimed to investigate if there is any gender difference regarding the translation skills of students translating multiple representations, and their most common errors in making these translations. For data collection, 18 schools were selected randomly from 103 elementary schools in &Ccedil / ankaya district of Ankara. Then all of the eighth grade students in each school were selected as sample. In total 705 eighth grade students were participated in the study. To assess students&rsquo / translation skills &ldquo / Translation among different representations of algebraic concepts test&rdquo / (TADRACT) was developed by researcher. Descriptive statistics were obtained to understand students&rsquo / achievement in translation process. To compare mean scores of female and male students, the statistical analysis of Independent Samples t-test was used. Every question were examined in detail to determine any misconceptions, and most frequent errors students made in translating among different algebraic representations. The results of test indicated that 8th grade students had poor skill in translations of four different representations / verbal statement, equation, table, graphic / in algebraic concepts. There was no significant difference between mean scores of girls and mean scores of boys. The most problematic translations were from other representations / equation, table, graphic / to verbal statement, and translations from other three representations / verbal statement, equation, graphic / to table were the easiest translations.

It was found that both in literature and in the spiritist ethos has always been an oscillation between a sexual division of more traditional androcentric with the overvaluation of women as mothers, and men work as providers - and as a consequence the limitation on skills development occurs and competencies of both sexes in the various social institutions (family, work, etc.), including the spiritist institutions on the one hand, and; On the other hand, an alleged defense posture of the progressive liberation (emancipation) of womens rights. This research aimed to analyze the representations of gender in literary-doctrinal productions of contemporary Brazilian Spiritism, from a survey of the historical context that would have influenced the development of the spirit gender representations from a stage prior to the institutionalization of Spiritism, in France and in Brazil, to the present day and how such representations of gender structure the internal organization of Spiritualism, regarding the sexual division of labor. In addition to literature search was performed analysis of the Spiritisms doctrinal literature. / Os resultados da pesquisa bibliográfica corroboram o que na prática religiosa já havia notado, a existência de certo sincretismo intencional de apreensão e revisão de conteúdos religiosos, ou seja, de cosmovisões de matriz judaico-cristã impregnadas de valores e modelos de comportamento que marcaram as novas representações de gênero do Espiritismo, ainda na França, e posteriormente, no Brasil. Constatou-se que tanto na literatura espírita quanto no ethos espírita sempre houve uma oscilação entre uma divisão sexual do trabalho mais tradicional e androcêntrica com a supervalorização das mulheres como mães, e dos homens como provedores e como consequência disto ocorre a limitação do desenvolvimento das habilidades e competências de ambos os sexos nas várias instituições sociais (família, mercado de trabalho, etc.), inclusive nas instituições espíritas, de um lado, e; por outro lado, uma pretensa postura de defesa da progressiva liberação (emancipação) dos direitos da mulher. A presente pesquisa objetivou analisar as representações de gênero nas produções lítero-doutrinárias do Espiritismo brasileiro contemporâneo, a partir de um levantamento do contexto histórico que teria influenciado a elaboração das representações de gênero espíritas, desde uma fase anterior à institucionalização do Espiritismo, na França e no Brasil, aos dias de hoje e como tais representações de gênero estruturam a organização interna do Espiritismo, no que tange a divisão sexual do trabalho. Além de pesquisa bibliográfica foi realizada análise da literatura doutrinária espírita.

Este estudo se justifica quando se pensa no processo de formação das representações de gênero, que têm se perpetuado através da educação, também veiculadas através da literatura, largamente utilizada como recurso didático e paradidático - espaço onde também se insere a prosa poética infanto/juvenil de Mabel Velloso - e que contribuem para a manutenção e reprodução de assimetrias que privilegiam homens em detrimento das mulheres. As discussões sobre Educação, Gênero e Literatura são tecidas, portanto, num movimento dialógico que envolve a História, a Linguagem, os Sujeitos e suas implicações com as representações e relações de poder. Abraça a perspectiva: do afastamento do paradigma da simplificação, e aproximação do paradigma da complexidade (MORIN, 2002), tão mais adequado porque próximo do real (HARAWAY, 1991); da diversidade e nela a dialógica e a dialética; da polifonia e polissemia do discurso literário; da priorização do rigor e da atividade crítica; da pesquisa situada e da emoção como conhecimento válido. Ao revelar, através da obra e ação docente de Mabel Velloso, a perspectiva androcêntrica presente nos processos educativos (formais e informais) para meninas e meninos, afirmar sua importância para a História das Mulheres, para os Estudos de Gênero e da Educação na Bahia. / ABSTRACT It is proposed in this research analyze and discuss, in a perspective of Education and gender studies, the literature produced by Professor and writer Mabel Velloso, fetching perceive in the languages and in the discourses present in his works, representations and constructions about Education, gender and power relations historically built between women and men. This study is justified thinking of the process of formation of gender representations, which have been perpetuated through education, also through literature, widely used as didactic resource and reader-space where also inserts the poetic prose Mabel Velloso - and contributing to the maintenance and reproduction of asymmetries which favour men over women. Discussions on education, gender and literature are woven, in a dialogic movement that involves history, language, subject and its implications with the representations and power relations. Embraces the removal of paradigm of simplification and approximation to paradigm of complexity (MORIN, 2002), so more suitable because close to the real (HARAWAY, 1991); the diversity and on it, the dialogic and the dialectic; polyphony and polysemy of literary discourse; the prioritization of rigour and critical activity; situated research and emotion as a reliable source of knowledge. To reveal, through the work and teaching of Mabel Velloso, the androcentric prospect present in educational processes (formal and informal) for girls and boys, to assert their importance to the history of women, gender studies and education in Bahia

The Images choice draws upon the understanding that they convey representations, discourses, practices, behaviors, lifestyles that contribute to the formation of gender identities. The gender is conceived as a social, cultural and historical framing,as proposed by Scott; representations as a way of knowledge that reveal values, beliefs and interpretations of an object (Moscovici) and speeches as practices which involve relations of power and production of knowledge (Foucault). The images were located in eight defined axes based on the incidence of human figures in situations conected to science, work, tecnological devices, body, sexuality, family and social interaction. The axes´analysis allowed the observation that the images, mostly permeate discourses linked to biological constitution of men and women, disregarding historical, social and cultural framing to build up identities. The gender is used to reinforce the dicotomy between men and women imposing them standards and behaviours, promoting and strengthening the inequality in gender relations in different areas and segments of society. These findings show that the textbooks surveyed, currently disregard not only the social transformations but also the changes related to gender, contributing therefore to the maintenance of prejudices and stereotypes.

O gênero é concebido como uma construção social, cultural e histórica, conforme propõe Scott (1995); as representações como uma modalidade de conhecimento que revelam valores, crenças e interpretações sobre um objeto (MOSCOVICI, 1978) e os discursos como práticas que envolvem relações de poder e produção de saber (FOUCAULT, 2001). As imagens foram situadas em oito eixos definidos com base na incidência de figuras humanas em situações ligadas à ciência, trabalho, artefatos tecnológicos, esporte, corpo, sexualidade, família e interações sociais.
