Abstrak Konsep gender yang benar semestinya diajarkan pada anak mulai usia dini maupun usia sekolah dasar. Pemahaman gender akan memberikan gambaran tentang peran laki-laki dan perempuan yang benar bukan hanya sekedar stereotip masyarakat. Penanaman konsep gender yang tidak sesuai akan membentuk pemikiran anak tetang bagaimana peran laki-laki dan perempuan dan akan membentuk pemikiran anak yang bias gender. Adanya stereotip tentang gender pada dasarnya sangat nampak dalam pendidikan terutama nilai gender yang dianut oleh masyarakat terutama berkaitan dengan tempat pendidikan diabdikan, stereotip gender yang terdapat dalam kurikulum maupun buku ajar, dan nilai gender yang ditanamkan oleh guru. Menginggat begitu pentingnya penanaman konsep gender yang benar pada anak, maka dapat dilakukan melalui beberapa cara diantaranya penanaman konsep gender dalam mata pelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial (IPS). Hal ini menginggat mata pelajaran IPS SD memiliki muatan materi untuk memahamkan anak tentang diri sendiri, keluarga dan masyarakat. Adapun konsep gender tentunya dapat diajarkan guru pada mata pelajaran IPS tema keluarga. Peran guru harus dapat memberikan contoh konkrit tentang peran laki-laki dan perempuan dalam keluarga, sekolah maupun masyarakat sehingga anak akan memahami konsep gender yang benar. Kata kunci: Konsep Gender, Pelajaran IPS Abstract The appropriate gender concept should be taught on children since early childhood or elementary school age. The understanding of gender will give description about the appropriate act on men and women, not only public stereotype. Unappropriate gender implementation will shape children’s mind about how men and women act and will shape children’s mind which gender refraction. The existance of stereotype about gender basically is visible in education, especially gender value attentived by public and related to implementation place, gender stereotype available in curriculum or teaching book, and gender value which applied by teacher. Considering the importance of appropriate gender implementation on children, it can be done by some ways, such as gender concept implementation in IPS lesson. Because it consider that IPS lesson on elementary school has material to understand student about themselves, family, and public. Gender concept can be taught by teacher on IPS lesson in theme about family. Teacher role should be give solid model about men and women act in family, school, and public so students can understand the appropriate gender concept.Keywords: gender concept, IPS lesson

Mathematics anxiety (MA) is negatively associated with mathematics performance. Although some aspects, such as mathematics self-concept (M-self-concept), seem to modulate this association, the underlying mechanism is still unclear. In addition, the false gender-stereotype according to which women are worse than men in mathematics, can have a detrimental effect on women. Nevertheless, the role that endorsement of this stereotype can have might differ between men and women. Therefore, within a structural equational approach, we investigated how MA and mathematics self-concept relate to arithmetic performance when considering one’s mathematics-gender stereotype endorsement and gender in a large sample (N = 923) of university students. Mathematics-gender stereotype endorsement influenced arithmetic performance through different mediation patterns via MA, M-self-concept in men and women. It was linked to higher MA, lower M-self-concept, and arithmetic performance in women, while in men, its effect was generally weaker but more complex (it was linked to higher M-self-concept and slightly higher numerical anxiety component of MA). Moreover, men and women perceived the questions included in the considered instruments differently, implying that their numerical scores may not be directly comparable, which has even broader theoretical and methodological implications for MA research.

BackgroundThe underrepresentation of women in STEM fields is a pervasive global issue. Despite evidence casting doubt on the preconceived notions that males outperform females in these domains, gender stereotype beliefs persist and have been highlighted as potential cultural barriers limiting females opportunities. Gender stereotype and ability beliefs emerge in early childhood and recent evidence has highlighted early childhood education as a promising period for the cultivation of positive STEM dispositions. AimsThis study investigated gender stereotype beliefs, mathematical self-beliefs and STEM attitudes among a sample of pre-service early childhood teachers to assess the existence of stereotype endorsements and predictive relationships with STEM interests.SampleParticipants were pre-service early childhood teacher (N=74), mean age 21.17 years, 4 males and 70 femalesMethodsElectronic surveys utilising a series of pre-established scales, measuring gender stereotype bias from ability and cultural perspectives, mathematical self-belief variables (self-efficacy, self-concept, anxiety), and interest in STEM, were distributed. ResultsRegression analysis reveal previous level of mathematical study at secondary school, social persuasions as a sources of self-efficacy and gender stereotype endorsements as significant predictors of overall attitude to STEMConclusions Findings suggest the importance of previous school experience and social influences as well as participants’ gender stereotype endorsements in influencing interest in STEM. These data are discussed in light of implications for teachers; future practice and teacher education

Organizations are these days realizing the importance of women in the workforce and to tap that talent, organizations are now-a-days putting extra efforts. Workplaces were designed keeping men in mind and which has been intercepting women from continuing the competitive jobs and career along with the family responsibilities. On the other hand, there are various workplace barriers which are adding to the other problems. Women face several barriers at the workplace like sexual harassment, glass ceiling and gender stereotype.

Abstract Given the gender stereotype that women are more ethical than men, people should assess female politicians as being less corruptible. Yet information about access to networks suggests that opportunities to engage in unethical behavior may counter this perception. Using a conjoint analysis in a nationally representative survey in Spain, a country shaken by corruption scandals, we asked respondents to identify the more corruptible politician between two hypothetical local councilors by imagining an investor willing to offer a bribe to advance business interests. Results indicate that female politicians do symbolically stand for honesty. However, this assessment is offset by embeddedness cues signaling a woman politician’s access to opportunity networks. We discuss our findings in light of instrumentalist arguments for an increase of women in politics as a means to combat corruption.
