Abstract

Gender bias in textbooks is an important issue in education that needs to be examined, because teaching materials not only serve as a source of knowledge, but also as a tool that shapes the values, perceptions, perspectives, and behavior of students. An unbalanced representation of men and women in teaching materials can reinforce social stereotypes and patriarchal structures and create an unequal educational environment. This study aims to analyze the existing gender representation in the Advanced English Textbook for the Merdeka Curriculum for Grade XII F2 by examining how the roles, activities, professions, and narratives of men and women are presented. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a content analysis approach based on the nurture perspective, this study identifies forms of marginalization, subordination, stereotypes, symbolic violence, and double burdens that may appear in the book's content. The analysis was conducted systematically on the text, narratives, illustrations, and dialogues to see whether the material represented equality or replicated gender bias. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the development of more gender-sensitive teaching materials, provide recommendations for educators to implement inclusive learning, and support the creation of a fair educational environment in line with the spirit of the Merdeka curriculum.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the evolution of research on critical thinking skills and creative thinking skills in education during the period 2017–2026 using a bibliometric approach. Data were collected from Google Scholar through Publish or Perish and Dimensions.ai and analyzed using VOSviewer to generate network, overlay, and density visualizations. The findings reveal a significant increase in publication output over the last decade, reflecting growing global interest in these competencies. Journal articles emerged as the dominant publication type, while education was identified as the leading research field. The results also indicate strong connections between critical thinking and creative thinking, with creativity, creative thinking, critical thinking skills, relationship, and higher education appearing as the most influential keywords. Visualization analyses demonstrate that these concepts form an interconnected knowledge structure and have increasingly been associated with educational innovation, digital transformation, and 21st-century skills development. Furthermore, the research themes show strong alignment with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Quality Education. Overall, the findings suggest that critical thinking and creative thinking have evolved into complementary and multidisciplinary competencies that play a strategic role in education and human development. Future research should focus on integrating these competencies with emerging technologies and innovative learning environments.
