Abstract

India is a diverse country. Ethnic, Linguistic, Racial, Gender, and Socio-Religious, etc. diversity is observed in India. Educational institutions play a vital role in socializing children and creating gender-friendly attitudes. Textbooks serve as a vehicle for social change. From childhood in school through textbooks and classroom experiences students embrace gender socialization, societal norms, and beliefs, gender roles, inequality, and bias. So, it is very important to make textbooks gender-neutral, to do this, textbook analysis is required. This study investigates the images used in textbooks of primary education in West Bengal, India, to examine gender stereotypes and bias. The study adopted qualitative and documentary research approaches through content analysis. The findings demonstrate that gender patriarchy and bias are reflected through visual imagery in textbooks. Images often lack representation of women and tend to portray them engaging in indoor tasks such as domestic and household work, or menial labor. Meanwhile, men are predominantly shown in outdoor, professional, and leadership roles, reinforcing gender disparities in identity and societal roles. There is a limited attempt to showcase gender neutrality, and there's minimal encouragement for gender reflection, hindering the development of sustainable perceptions of gender roles in Indian society. The findings of the study provide a foundation for policy changes at the state or national level to ensure the development and implementation of guidelines that promote gender-neutral content in educational materials and are useful for textbook development agencies, textbook writers, and teachers in developing a gender-sensitive curriculum, and textbooks.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of using songs in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching from the perspectives of Vietnamese EFL lecturers, focusing on identifying the most beneficial age group among young learners, teenagers, and adult learners. Employing a qualitative research design, the study conducted semi-structured interviews with nine EFL teachers from two educational institutions in Vietnam, representing a range of experience levels from novice to near-end career. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis, guided by Constructivist and Socio-cultural theories of learning. The findings revealed that the application and perceived effectiveness of songs varied significantly across different age groups and teacher experience levels. Songs were universally recognized as beneficial in EFL teaching, but their implementation and impact differed, with novice teachers focusing on engagement, mid-career teachers on cultural and linguistic nuances, and near-end career teachers on a holistic language experience. The study found that songs are highly effective with young learners, need careful selection for teenagers, and should be thematically rich for adult learners. These insights have implications for EFL practitioners, curriculum designers, and policymakers, suggesting the need for tailored song-based activities and professional development for teachers.

The Tanzanian Government has made several efforts to guarantee the accessible and equitable education to all children irrespective of their race, creed or sex. However, there are some predominant socio-cultural practices which are impediments to young women’s education. Using a case of Monduli district -Tanzania, this study explored the influence of socio-cultural practices toward schooling of Maasai Young Women. A cross- sectional research design was adopted to obtain a sample of 120 respondents. Data were collected using Questionnaires, Key Informants’ Interview (KII) and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) methods and analysed by using IBM-SPSS. 20.0 and content analysis. Overall, the study found that, Nomadic Lifestyle, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and Early Marriages are tremendously affecting schooling of young Maasai women. While the two earlier mentioned practices were found to waste a lot of girls’ learning hours; the latter has been causing a substantial number of school girls to drop out. Subsequently the girls became vulnerable to illiteracy of which jeopardizes their chances to participate in community development projects as well as in decision-making process. The illiterate people are not always invited to participate because they do not understand the nitty gritty of their participation. In order to eliminate these harmful practices, it is recommended the government and other stakeholders to create or strengthening community awareness campaigns and capacity-building programs.

Abstract

Kenya's educational landscape has witnessed a transformative shift towards curriculum reform, aiming to enhance the quality of education. A central element of this reform has been the transition from mere knowledge and skill acquisition to fostering the creation and practical application of knowledge and skills. This study specifically focused on evaluating the readiness of teachers to implement the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in language activities for Pre-Primary II students within Nambale Sub County, Kenya. The research objective was to assess Pre-Primary II teachers' ability to develop and utilize learning resources as an essential component of implementing CBC for language activities. Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory served as the theoretical framework underpinning this study. Mixed convergent research design was employed, including a sample size that involved 20 Head Teachers, 20 teachers-in-charge, 40 Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) teachers, the County Director ECDE, the Sub County Quality Assurance and Standards Officer (QASO) and the Sub County Director of Education (MOE). These individuals were purposively chosen due to their intimate involvement with educational processes. Data collection methods incorporated questionnaires, interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The analysis of the study's findings revealed a significant relationship between the teachers' ability to develop and utilize resources and the effective implementation of CBC in language activities. This relationship is underscored by a coefficient value (R) of 0.619 and an R square value of 0.383 at P=0.000, signifying that 38.3% of the variation in the implementation of CBC language activities is explained by the teachers' capacity to develop and utilize resources. The study recommends the enhancement of the successful implementation of CBC in language activities for Pre-Primary II learners, such as early teacher preparation, support for resource development and acquisition, structured planning of learning experiences, and capacity-building of teacher’s initiatives.
