Calado, Florbela M.; Bogner, Franz X. – European Journal of Educational Research, 2013
Scientific literacy has been increasingly considered a major goal of science education. While textbooks remain the most widespread tools for pursuing this goal within classrooms, they have been slow to adapt to the most recent epistemological paradigms, often still conveying distorted views of science and technology. Accordingly, we present herein…

Shadowwalker, Depree M. – ProQuest LLC, 2012

Bennett, Linda B.; Williams, Frances Janeene – Social Studies and the Young Learner, 2014
Research on the inclusion of women in textbooks found severe inequalities in the way women were included in text and illustration. The use of carefully and purposefully selected images in the classroom can address both the lack of images of women in textbooks as well as the stereotypical portrayal of woman in textbook images.

Foulds, Kim – Gender and Education, 2014
The discourse around development is full of buzzwords, including gender and a myriad of variants that underscore the importance of development policies addressing gender imbalances.

Falah, Janan Faraj – Online Submission, 2013
Teaching heritage to a nation is important. The Israeli Arab curriculum on Druse heritage helps students connect religion with modern society. The textbooks that are still used were written in the end of the 1970s and do not reflect the changing reality of Druse women. This research shows that women must be portrayed in more diverse roles in…

Zaidi, Syed Manzar Abbas – Curriculum Journal, 2011
This article looks at the evolution of the social studies curricula in Pakistan, which are of critical importance in shaping the outlook of many young Pakistanis, who are affected by this polarised discourse.

Hamann, Edmund T.; Reeves, Jenelle – Anthropology & Education Quarterly, 2012
Extant cultural models articulated in "Flyover Country" print media responses to ICE workplace raids showed a welcome of sorts of Latino newcomers.
