  • Mansner-Lönnqvist, Anna (2019)
    The purpose of this study was to investigate how teachers in 6th grade feel that they work with gender equality in their classroom. The foundations of the curriculum for basic education (2014) require that gender equality is a central aspect of the entire basic education, which also places demands on the teachers. Previous studies have shown that Finnish teachers are poorly aware of gender issues, which contributed to the study's relevance. The research questions thus focused on finding out about the teachers' own perceptions of the concept of gender equality, as well as finding out how they work with gender equality with their pupils. Four teachers in the metropolitan area of Helsinki were interviewed for the study. The interviews were transcribed in their entirety and then analyzed by a phenomenographic analysis model, which gave rise to five outcomes, i.e. perceptions of gender equality. These outcomes were gender equality is equal treatment, teachers' thoughts on gender roles, a conscious view of gender equality work, views on knowledge about gender equality and gender equality work, and collegial interaction The results showed that teachers primarily base their work on gender equality on their own experiences and insights, which means that the work of gender equality between classes is very varied. The study thus strengthens previous research results that teachers lack knowledge of gender equality work and that stereotypes are therefore still common in classrooms.
