Hur  kön synliggörs  i läromedel : En text-och bildanalys   av ett läromedel i de samhällsorienterande  ämnena.

Sammanfattning: The aim  of this  essay is  to research if  the  typical  gender  norms  about gender  that  today’s society rests on, are visible in teaching  materials  within  the  social study  subjects.  In this  essay  the  chosen parts of a selected  teaching  materials   will   be researched  and  compared withformer research and the curriculum  (skolverket  2011). The  research of the teaching  material  will  be done through  a qualitative text  and picture  analysis.   The  chosen teaching  material which in this essay will be analysed is:  Puls  SO-boken year  1-3 (2015). The research  is supposed to add knowledge about how the messages within the  pictures  and the text  in  the chosen teaching material can be interpreted and understood by pupils and pedagogues. The research is  also  supposed to elucidate   how important   it  is  for  the pedagogue  to critically review the teaching material that is being  used  in  their  teaching  to create the  best prerequisite  for  their  pupils.  Good teaching  and learning  and the ability  to find  their  unique   individuality    is also a prerequisite to become the good democratic citizen school will  form  under  the curriculum  that  is available. The result of the research  shows  that  the book Puls  SO-boken (2015), to a certain  degree breaks down stereotype gender norms like the ones  that  currently  exists  in  today’s  society.  It also  shows  a certain  tendency  where  males  still  are the  gender  norm  of the teaching materials.
