Gender Concept

The article considers the mechanism ofrepresenting the hidden curriculum in the discourse of EFL textbooks, i.e. the transmission ofsociocultural norms and values of native speakers to foreign students. To do this the authors make a brieftheoretical review of this problem and demonstrate the results of the comparative discourse analysis of two popular textbooks, the one of the pre-globalization age and the present-day one. The authors provide evidence for their idea of the dual role, which English plays today being simultaneously a national language of different English-speaking societies and the global lingua franca. The conducted discourse analysis is based on the analysis of semiotic means, which are used to nominate concepts basic to any society and culture. In the article, the authors demonstrate their own plan of analysis by the example of the "gender" concept. The gender concept shows social and cultural conditionality of distinctions in behavior and the identity of men and women. The comparative analysis of gender markers in the discourse of EFL textbooks reveals a global vector of transformation and distribution ofsociocultural values. Authors state that cultural expansion through English teaching is an instrument of smart power. It is suggested using the mechanism of transmission ofsociocultural norms and values, which is analyzed in the research, to create Russian textbooks for foreign students.

Gender Concept

Based on the data of the 2015 China General Social Survey (CGSS), this article empirically analyzed the influence of gender concept, work pressure, and work flexibility on work–family conflict (work interfering family (WIF) and family interfering work (FIW)) from three perspectives (gender, age, and urban and rural areas in China) and tested its significance. The empirical results show that individuals holding the concept of gender inequality produced lower WIF and FIW, which only exists between sexual relations, older working people, and urban and rural areas. Multicultural exchange and integration only made it easier for working people under the age of 30 to accept the concept of gender equality, but it increased their WIF and FIW. Second, with the development of the economy and society of China, the work pressure of workers is the most important factor causing WIF and FIW. Lastly, in order to cope with the pressure of employment and the cost of living, it is difficult to ease the conflict between work and family.

<p><em>This research aims to describe the lack of gender knowledge of 20 teachers in two primary schools in Padang. It is assumed that teachers in primary schools are important to have gender knowledge. This is because primary schools is the basic education for pupils in building their character and constructing their mindset, especially mindset with gender awareness and gender sensitivity attitude.

The result showed that most teacher in these two primary schools have lack of knowledge about gender concept and kind of difficult to make different among the definition of sex  and gender concept.

Diasumsikan bahwa guru di sekolah dasar penting untuk memiliki pengetahuan gender. Ini karena sekolah dasar adalah pendidikan dasar bagi siswa dalam membangun karakter mereka dan membangun pola pikir mereka, terutama pola pikir dengan kesadaran gender dan sikap sensitivitas gender. Jadi guru tanpa bias gender dan kurangnya pengetahuan gender memainkan peran penting untuk menyebarkan kepekaan gender dan kesadaran gender secara luas untuk melawan bias gender dan diskriminasi terhadap perempuan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan menggunakan wawancara mendalam dan mendistribusikan kuesioner kepada 20 guru di 2 sekolah dasar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar guru di kedua sekolah dasar ini kurang memiliki pengetahuan tentang konsep gender dan agak sulit untuk membedakan antara definisi jenis kelamin dan konsep gender. Kurangnya pengetahuan sampai batas tertentu mempengaruhi proses pembelajaran dengan beberapa bias gender dalam menghadapi murid-murid mereka dalam kegiatan sekolah. Disarankan dalam meningkatkan proses sosialisasi pengetahuan gender di sekitar guru sekolah dasar.</p><p><strong><em>Keyword: </em></strong><em>Gender, knowledge, elementary school.</em></p>
