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 are the basic education for pupils in building their character and constructing their mindset, especially mindset with gender awareness and gender sensitivity attitude. Thus during learning process, teachers without gender bias and lack of gender knowledge may widely spread the gender sensitivity and gender awareness in order to fight the bias gender and discrimination against women. The research takes qualitative method by using in-depth interview and distribute questioner toward 20 teachers in 2 primary schools. The result showed that most teachers in these two elementary schools lack of knowledge about gender concept. They seem likely difficult to make different among the definition of sex and gender concept. This lack of knowledge to some extent affected the learning process such as prefer to choose boys as chairman in the class, separate boys and girls in several activities.

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>

Abstract This paper is based on feminist studies from a post-structuralist perspective and it aims to discuss how categories such as gender and diversity are conceptually and methodologically added in the agenda of basic education teacher training policy based on education for diversity, titled Projeto Gênero e Diversidade na Escola [Gender and Diversity in School Project] (GDE). Four GDE guiding documents between 2007 and 2011 were analyzed. A cultural analysis was carried out to argue about the unintelligibility of gender and diversity education proposed by organized politics based on how sexual and cultural diversity are treated, as well as sex and gender binarism. Its limits and potentialities were tested as a State-based agenda for a certain purpose and governance at the expense of the production of (un)viable bodies.

There is a growing awareness about the need to comprehensively integrate sex and gender into health research in order to enhance the validity and significance of research results. An in-depth consideration of differential exposures and vulnerability is lacking, especially within environmental risk assessment. Thus, the interdisciplinary team of the collaborative research project INGER (integrating gender into environmental health research) aimed to develop a multidimensional sex/gender concept as a theoretically grounded starting point for the operationalization of sex and gender in quantitative (environmental) health research. The iterative development process was based on gender theoretical and health science approaches and was inspired by previously published concepts or models of sex- and gender-related dimensions. The INGER sex/gender concept fulfills the four theoretically established prerequisites for comprehensively investigating sex and gender aspects in population health research: multidimensionality, variety, embodiment, and intersectionality. The theoretical foundation of INGER’s multidimensional sex/gender concept will be laid out, as well as recent sex/gender conceptualization developments in health sciences. In conclusion, by building upon the latest state of research of several disciplines, the conceptual framework will significantly contribute to integrating gender theoretical concepts into (environmental) health research, improving the validity of research and, thus, supporting the promotion of health equity in the long term.
