【摘要】 本文通过对女性主义理论的梳理,运用定量研究、文本分析、语言结构分析和话语分析的研究方法,对经过全国中小学教材委员会2003年审查通过的人教版全日制普通高级中学英语教科书是否存在性别不公平现象进行了探讨,意欲寻出达成教材性别公平的策略。本文分为六个部分:第一章为问题的提出,主要基于性别不公平在中外文化中的体现、从sex到gender的价值诉求、教育是通向性别平等的重要途径、教材承载着社会性别文化、我国基础教育改革对女性教育和教材性别问题的关注以及本人的成长及其研究兴趣等方面,阐述了选题。第二章为理论基础与研究现状。本研究的理论基础是女性主义及其对性别研究的主要观点,性别公平理论和女性主义课程观。随后回顾了国内外关于教材中的性别公平问题的研究。第三、四章为论文的主体部分,具体研究了人教版高中英语教材中性别公平问题。论文主要从男女出现的频率、性别角色、语言结构和话语几个方面进行系统的分析,通过研究发现:1、在人物插图、主人公、公众人物这三个维度上,该套教材男性出现的频率高于女性;2、在性别角色上,男性的职业种类比女性职业种类多,而且主要从事公共领域的职业,而家庭角色一般都是由女性承当。3、在语言结构分析上,包括表标记性语言和人称/人物的顺序这两方面都显示了该套教科书存在语言方面的歧视。4、通过用词分析和叙事与再表现两个方面的话语分析,研究发现描述女性的形容词很单调,女性地位不及男性,女性的情感和价值观没有更好地体现在教材中。教材中上述这些性别不公平现象对学生都会产生负面影响。最后,本文从政策层面上、教材编写和审定层面、学校层面、教材的选用层面、课堂教学提出了几点消除教材中性别不公平现象的建议,为教材编写者、教材审定者以及教师增进两性平等意识作一定的参考。
