Abstract

Research on gender representation in English-language textbooks has examined various aspects, yet the distribution and overlap of themes across publications have not been systematically mapped. This study aims to map the characteristics and scope of existing research, identify the distribution of five major themes, and examine thematic overlap at the study level. Using a systematic literature review, 45 publications from 2007–2024 were selected from 358 identified records. Study characteristics were analyzed descriptively, and research focuses were coded thematically, allowing each study to receive multiple codes. The mapping shows that games and leisure activities were the most frequently examined theme (21 studies; 46.7%), followed by visual representation (20; 44.4%), language and terminology (16; 35.6%), professional, occupational, and work-related roles (13; 28.9%), and cultural and regional contexts (8; 17.8%). Twenty-one studies addressed more than one theme, including two that covered all five. Differences in theme frequency reflect research attention, while thematic overlap indicates which aspects were examined together within studies. Neither measure establishes the prevalence, direction, or severity of gender bias in textbooks. This review offers a thematic framework that distinguishes content dimensions from cultural and regional contexts, providing a basis for more systematic and context-sensitive textbook evaluation. A synthesis of the substantive findings of individual studies is needed to draw conclusions about patterns of gender representation.

Abstract

Women's empowerment in Indonesia faces structural inequalities, unpaid reproductive labor, and unequal access to resources. In this context, the relationship between UN Women's institutional involvement and changes in women's material conditions requires critical examination. This study analyzes UN Women's efforts to promote gender equality in Indonesia through policy advocacy, violence prevention, and economic empowerment. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, it examines institutional publications, government documents, and media reports through document analysis and thematic coding. Source triangulation was used to enhance trustworthiness, and findings were interpreted through a Marxist feminist lens. Three areas of involvement emerged. First, advocacy and partnerships supported gender-responsive planning, policy accountability, and evidence-based studies to protect women. Second, public campaigns and violence prevention involved community mobilization, digital literacy, documentation, and access to information on protection. Third, economic empowerment involved entrepreneurship and digital skills training, strengthened corporate commitments to gender equality, and the development of productive skills through business partners. Across these areas, UN Women contributed through facilitation, capacity building, and partnerships, with varying roles across initiatives. However, documentary evidence was insufficient to establish the programs' direct effects on women's material conditions. The study offers a critical cross-sectoral synthesis that distinguishes UN Women's contributions from its partners' activities and clarifies the evidentiary limits of empowerment outcomes. From a Marxist feminist perspective, control over resources and the division of reproductive labor are key dimensions in evaluating women's empowerment.

Abstract

Domestic violence against women in Birnin Kebbi is a social problem associated with power inequalities, patriarchal norms, and family structures, requiring contextualized prevention and the empowerment of female victims. This study describes married women’s experiences of domestic violence, recognition of its forms, perceptions, and responses, interpreting the findings through a gender relations perspective. A descriptive quantitative survey involved 259 married women across seven wards in Birnin Kebbi. Data were collected through structured questionnaires between July and September 2024, analyzed using frequencies and percentages, and interpreted through Connell’s Theory of Gender and Power. Results show that 62.55% of respondents had experienced domestic violence. The most frequently reported forms of violence were harsh treatment by husbands, lack of regular food, and verbal abuse. Respondents also recognized child neglect, wife abuse, sexual violence, nonconsensual intercourse, and emotional abuse as domestic violence. Although 58.69% rejected cultural justifications for wife beating, some accepted them. Knowledge of protection institutions was uneven, with the district head’s palace most frequently identified as a reporting channel. Additionally, 77.22% considered children’s interests as grounds for avoiding their husbands’ imprisonment for domestic violence. These findings highlight connections between violence experiences, cultural norms, institutional access, and family considerations, indicating a need for integrated responses sensitive to social contexts and victims’ needs. This study extends the application of the Theory of Gender and Power to descriptive survey research and provides practical foundations for domestic violence education, stronger protection services, community engagement, and support tailored to local victims’ needs.

Abstract

In the pesantren studied, the reproduction of gender norms in the curriculum and institutional constraints raise concerns about restrictions on women’s participation and opportunities for negotiation toward gender-responsive education. This study examines the reproduction of gender inequality, internal resistance, and barriers to the development of gender-responsive curricula. This qualitative study employed an instrumental case study design informed by a critical ethnographic perspective at Pesantren Nurul Huda Situbondo. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven purposively selected informants. Thematic analysis was supported by source triangulation and critical reflexivity. Three findings emerged. First, the reproduction of gender inequality was evident in the naturalization of women’s domestic roles, the normative legitimation of wives’ obedience, and the dominance of male authority in pesantren governance. Second, internal resistance and the negotiation of gender relations emerged through alternative religious interpretations, female students’ classroom discussions, and informal study groups, alongside administrators’ initial openness to dialogue and the reconsideration of teaching materials. Third, gender-responsive curriculum development faced challenges, including limited representation of women in teaching materials, difficulties adapting content, unequal authority in curriculum decision-making, and limited training in gender-responsive teaching. The study concludes that women’s agency emerges through the negotiation of meaning within restrictive structures. Openness to dialogue suggests opportunities for reform but does not establish changes in curriculum policy or institutional structures. The study advances a conceptual proposition linking gender norm negotiation to institutional conditions and provides a basis for reviewing teaching materials, strengthening women’s representation, training educators, and expanding women’s participation in curriculum decision-making.

Abstract

The normalization of inequalities in working-time arrangements, pay, and training access raises concerns about the reproduction of gender-based symbolic violence among women workers in Kediri’s ikat weaving industry. This study aims to examine the reproduction of symbolic violence and power relations through women’s working-time arrangements, remuneration within gendered divisions of labor, and seniority and access to training. Using a critical qualitative approach and an intrinsic single-case study design, the study involved 12 participants from three weaving enterprises in Bandar Kidul, Kediri. Data were collected through interviews and observations, analyzed thematically, and triangulated to strengthen credibility. Three patterns emerged. First, the normalization of exploitative working hours involved unclear working hours, fear of job loss, the absence of overtime pay or bonuses, and habituation to production discipline. Second, the naturalization of wage inequality involved gendered divisions of labor, acceptance of compensation arrangements, and undervaluation of women’s weaving skills. Third, the reproduction of seniority involved respect for experience, limited access to design training for junior workers, and acceptance of corrections based on senior workers’ expertise. These patterns suggest that economic pressures and social legitimation jointly sustain inequality. Nevertheless, compliance does not necessarily imply full consent, and respect for senior expertise should be distinguished from the justification of unequal access. The study extends the application of Bourdieu’s theory to traditional crafts and supports working-time recordkeeping, pay transparency, recognition of women’s skills, safe grievance mechanisms, and equitable access to training.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) training experience does not necessarily reflect classroom use. This issue warrants an examination of perceived digital competence, informal digital learning, and independence among female teachers in Islamic secondary schools in South Punjab, Pakistan. This study examines these dimensions alongside AI training, use, and perceptions, focusing on differences in agreement regarding training and use. A descriptive quantitative survey involved 106 purposively sampled female teachers across four areas. A Google Forms questionnaire comprised nine items with four Likert response categories. Analysis used frequencies, percentages, and percentage-point differences in agreement. Three findings emerged. First, most respondents agreed with statements about their ability to integrate multimedia (93.40%) and their use of online learning resources (83.02%). Second, agreement on AI training experience (95.28%) and on the perceived benefits of AI for classroom management exceeded agreement on AI tool use (64.15%) and on understanding its use for personalized learning. Agreement regarding training and use differed by 31.13 percentage points. Third, agreement regarding educational technology discussions with colleagues exceeded agreement regarding the ability to independently design digital learning and adapt digital content to students’ needs. The findings indicate that training experience, perceived benefits, and discussions should be distinguished from technology use and perceived ability to apply it. The identified gap is descriptive and based on self-reports, with no causal inference. Interpreted through the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, these findings offer preliminary considerations for professional development that incorporate practical AI exercises, peer mentoring, and digital skills assessment, drawing on multiple sources of evidence.

Abstract

Historical record showed the number of woman of companions of prophet who memorize Al-Qur'an. Historically, however, the tradition of giving chance to women to memorize Al-Qur'an did not continue in the next periods. Memorizing Al-Qur'an was claimed only for men. It can be seen that there is no woman perawi in Al-Qur'an in transmission system. In Indonesia, for instance, the chain of sanadlima figures of Al-qur'an memorizers become the main reference and has a role in the spread of tahfizul Qur'an that does not mention any of the female characters included in the chain. This study employs quantitative research using field research through feminist approach. Data is presented in verbal not numbers. The use of feminist approach was caused the lack of marginalization of women role in transmission system of tahfiz Al-qur'an which cannot release from unstable gender. The following are the result of the study. First, there is phenomenon of woman marginalization in Al-qur'an transmission system although man dominates it. In reality, Nyaiand Ustałzah who have pondok pesantren tahfiz listen called menyemak and educate tahfiz students. After they finish reciting Al-qur'an and memorizing it, Kyai will give the certificate. Second, the factors underlying the marginalization of al-Qur an transmission system states as follow. First, theologically, man is imam and woman is makmum. Moreover, since woman get menstruation, the religious experience became imperfect and less opportunity to dedicate in public. Sociologically and naturally, man memorizes faster than woman and he has more chance to join khataman and seaman. Third, the implementation of gender equality in tahfiz al-Qur'an culture has not been conducted yet.

Abstract

Nowadays the farmers in Indonesia alienates from the profession sociologically and anthropologically. It is proved that they do not want to pass their profession to their grandchildren; moreover, the farmers are not proud of their own product. They consume rice on the market (import) without considering quality and health impact as the innate of the product. They do not concern about synthetic rice in the market. The farmers in the Rowotengah village Sumberbaru district, Jember is one of the case that we met. They always sell the rice to the buyer without harvesting first. The process of harvest is done by the buyers itself. While for their daily need, they have to buy by retail in the shops. The pattern of the rice consumption which is contra-productive from the profession itself.

Abstract

Tulisan ini hendak menegaskan bahwa dalam pola relasi sosial yang tidak berimbang antara kekuatan dominatif dengan kekuatan subaltern tidak serta merta menciptakan ketergantungan, kepasifan, dan kepasrahan total kelas sosial yang didominasi di bawah kelas sosial yang mendominasi. Fenomena ini sebagaimana ditunjukkan oleh kaum perempuan miskin desa Kemiri yang hidup di sekitar perkebunan. Melalui keterbatasan kuasa (power) yang dimilikinya, kaum perempuan Kemiri tetap aktif membangun dunianya, guna merespon problema kemiskinan dan ketidakadilan gender yang membelenggu kehidupan diri dan keluarganya. Dihadapkan pada penetrasi pasar serta tekanan modernisasi neo-kapitalisme dan negara yang abai terhadap nasib kehidupannya, kaum perempuan dengan keterbatasan dan sekaligus kepiawaian yang dimiliki justru mampu menyusun aneka siasat dan melakukan negosiasi terhadap kekuatan-kekuatan mainstream tersebut. Melalui sumberdaya lokal yang ada di sekitamya seperti ikatan persaudaraan, kekerabatan, dan solidaritas komunal, serta berbagai aksi kecil-kecilan, mulai dari melancarkan gosip, mengambil (baca: mencuri) hasil bumi perkebunan, mengkapling sebagian lahan perkebunan untuk ditanami, kaum perempuan Kemiri memanfaatkannya sebagai senjata dalam mempertahankan dan sekaligus memperebutkan hak bagi kelangsungan hidup keluarganya. Aneka tindakan subkultur yang direpresentasikan kaum perempuan miskin Kemiri tersebut sekaligus menjadi kritik bahwa penetrasi sistem sosial hegemonik yang dilancarkan kelompok suprastruktur tidak serta merta menjadikan mereka pasif, tidak berdaya, dan bertekuk lutut di bawah sangkar hegemoni kekuatan mainstream, sebagaimana pandangan Gramsci. Saat hidup menjadi lebih sulit, ruang-ruang kelola menyempit, pilihan-pilihan yang terbatas dan berbagai ketidakberuntungan seolah telah menjelma menjadi suatu keniscayaan, kaum perempuan Kemiri selalu saja mempunyai pilihanpilihan tak terduga. Mereka hampir selalu berhasil menemukan jalan keluar dalam situasi yang serba sulit, kendatipun hanya bersifat informal, jika bukan ilegal.
