“…Textbooks play a key role in implicitly and explicitly transmitting messages about how science is conducted by men and women, and what specific role is projected in relation to their gender (Aladejana and Aladejana 2004;Elgar 2004). This study enquired into how gender is represented in five Chinese biology textbooks widely adopted by upper secondary schools.…”

The gender gap remains an issue in the biological education community. This study explores the extent to which an egalitarian gender ideology, encapsulated in five biological science textbooks for upper secondary schools in China, manifests through representational, interactive and compositional meanings of social semiotic theory. The findings reveal that females in the textbooks tend to be depicted as passive and inferior to males. More males are represented as playing pioneering and leading roles, as opposed to females, who are cast in assistant and subordinate roles in professional activities. The gendered messages delivered have the potential to disempower female students’ career aspirations and adversely regulate their perceptions and projections of gender identities in biological science.

“…Similarly, Sever (2013) stated that illustrated children's books are the child's window to the outside world and it is important to choose those books to prepare children for real life. Besides, it has been revealed by the researches that teachers mostly prefer illustrated children's books to introduce the concept of peace to children and to help them acquire this concept (Aladejana, 2007). Accordingly, the study was carried out in order to examine the suitability of the illustrated children's books, which cover the subject of war and peace, for the preschool period.…”

“…Benzer şekilde Sever (2013) resimli çocuk kitaplarının çocuğun dış dünyaya açılan penceresi olduğunu ve çocukları gerçek yaşama hazırlamak için tercih edilmesinin önemli olduğunu belirtmiştir. Bununla birlikte, öğretmenlerin barış kavramını çocuklara kazandırmak için en çok resimli çocuk kitaplarını tercih ettiği yapılan araştırmalarla ortaya konulmuştur (Aladejana, 2007). Bu doğrultuda çalışmanın temel amacı okul öncesi döneme yönelik savaş ve barış konusunu kapsayan resimli çocuk kitaplarının içeriğini incelemektir.…”

The phenomenon of war and peace has existed since the beginning of humanity. While the Turkish Language Association defines "war" as struggling, struggling to eliminate something, struggling to destroy something and fight, the Association defines "peace" as an environment of tolerance, harmony and mutual understanding. In the process of transforming war into peace, individuals must first acquire knowledge, develop skills and attitudes. The most important concepts to be acquired regarding this process are tolerance, justice, human rights, democracy and equality. These concepts are abstract and difficult for the preschool child to comprehend. Researches reveal that starting from the preschool period, quality education, educational environment, methods and materials are required for the comprehension of the concept of war and peace, which are among the abstract and difficult subjects for children. In this respect, the study was carried out in order to examine the suitability of the illustrated children's books, which cover the subject of war and peace, for the preschool period. Qualitative research method was preferred in the study. Reviewed books group consists of 22 illustrated children's books determined by the criterion sampling method that is one of the purposive sampling methods. Illustrated children's books were examined by document analysis method. The data related to the study were analyzed through descriptive analysis and content analysis techniques. As a result of the research, it can be said that in the illustrated children's books examined, there is not enough attention to the developmental characteristics of the child in the process of explaining the cause of the war, including positive emotions as well as negative ones, and resolving the war.
