“…Likewise, domination of male and representation of women in traditional roles has been raised as a concern in the primary textbooks (Ullah & Skeleton, 2014). This is so despite Pakistani government's international commitments to ensure gender equality in educational policies and increased emphasis on equality of education in the Pakistani constitution (Government of Pakistan Ministry of Education, 2009;Ullah & Skelton, 2014;Ullah & Haque, 2016).…”

The representation of gender in school textbooks is an area that has been researched in different contexts for decades. It is an area worth investigation because it has been established through research that gender biased textbooks provide hurdles for gender equality in many ways. Taking this as a point of departure this paper aims to examine the representation of male and female in primary level English and Urdu textbooks in Pakistan. To achieve its aim three public and private publishers i.e. AFAQ, National Book Foundation (NBF) and Oxford University Press (OUF) were selected. The text and images in these textbooks were analyzed by using qualitative content analysis. The representation of gender in the selected textbooks was seen through three major themes i.e. visibility of female and male through characters, photographs and narrator of the lesson; activities assigned and vocabulary used for both gender. The data clearly reveals that the visibility of males was much higher than that of females in photographs, images, characters and narrators. Regarding activities assigned to gender in all the selected textbooks women were mostly depicted to be involved in housework and engaged in personal and family activities while boys were shown to be working, playing and engaged in social activities. Finally, it was found that the vocabulary used in the textbooks was stereotypical reflecting existing gender stereotypes in the Pakistani culture. To reduce the gender biased attitude in textbooks it is suggested that a strong gender lens is needed while setting educational policies in the country.

“…This gendering process continues throughout our educational lives. Educational institutions, both in the officially approved curriculum-textbooks-and in the parallel hidden curriculum-our interactions with class fellows, other students and teachers, teach us what it means to be men and women [3,4,5]. Keeping in view the constructive power of classroom interaction and its contribution to the production of gendered individuals, classroom became the focus of sociological research [6].…”

Our gendering experiences begin with our birth. The formal educational gendering process begins the moment we enter school and continue throughout our educational journey. Sitting in the same classroom, reading the same books, listening to the same teachers at the same time, boys and girls have different experiences. Giving close attention to the temporal, physical/embodied and discursive dimensions of classroom life and relations in Pakistan, I highlight the extent to which the university classroom functions as gendered space in which masculinity and femininity are exhibited by young men and women (students). The data for the paper comes from in-depth semi-structured qualitative interviews with universities' teachers, focus group discussion with students and classroom observation. Foucauldian discourse analysis will be employed as a methodological and theoretical tool to unpack a number of concerns including the constitutive and constituted nature of teachers' and students' gendered practice and ideology. By employing discourse analysis, I take into account teachers ' and students' classroom practices (sitting, walking and talking) as powerful discourses and analyse how these construct frameworks of meaning that define categories and specify domains of what can be said and done. The study, as stated earlier, attempts to delineate how the gendered practices in the classroom contribute to the construction of gendered identities, perpetuation of gendered power structure and disciplining young men and women as gendered individuals. It is pertinent to mention here that some of the study findings challenge the popular assertion regarding 'gendered experience' unpacked by feminist research in the global north.

“…Analisis wacana bukanlah sesuatu yang bersifat linier atau sebuah istilah yang mudah didefinisikan (Ullah, 2013). Dengan demikian, analisis wacana dapat digunakan dalam cara yang berbeda tergantung pada bidang dan tujuan analis (Ullah, 2013). Peneliti menggunakan analisis wacana seperti yang digunakan oleh post-strukturalis feminis.…”

“…Peneliti menggunakan analisis wacana seperti yang digunakan oleh post-strukturalis feminis. Post-strukturalis feminis memfokuskan pada eksplorasi makna yang mendasari teks, bentuk hubungan, dan pola dari kekuatan hasrat yang dibuat dalam teks (Davies, 1989;Wing, 1997;Skelton, 1997;Ullah, 2013).…”
