This study aims to investigate the ways males and females are represented in primary school textbooks after the Polite, the publishing self-regulation agreement with the aim of introducing an equal representation of males and females in school books. Two groups of textbooks are analysed, published, respectively, in 2008-10 and 2014, for a total of 1084 texts (Corsini & Scierri, 2016; Scierri, 2017). For this purpose, the quantitative text analysis grid developed by Irene Biemmi (2010) was used and a comparison with the results of her previous study was made.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the ways males and females are represented in primary school textbooks after the Polite, the publishing self-regulation agreement with the aim of introducing an equal representation of males and females in school books. Two groups of textbooks are analysed, published, respectively, in 2008-10 and 2014, for a total of 1084 texts (Corsini & Scierri, 2016; Scierri, 2017). For this purpose, the quantitative text analysis grid developed by Irene Biemmi (2010) was used and a comparison with the results of her previous study was made.
