Previousresearch shows the following results based on the gender ladder: 75% of the courseliterature in teacher education lacked a gender equality perspective and 90% of theliterature lacked a gender perspective. One of the teaching aids have a better scorein the gender ladder, which means that the teaching aid has a better genderconsciousand a better gender equality. Teaching aids that have a higher score inthe gender ladder also fits better with the requirement of lgr11. The survey resultsshows that one teaching aid is more related and gender-conscious than the other.The teaching aid that has a lower score in the gender ladder has a habit ofmaintaining gender-strengthening myths where the man is active, and the womanis more passive. This situation forces the teacher to supplement the teaching aidswith a gender perspective on their own.
