“…This finding implies that parents impose their will on female children's educational decisions (Griffin & Hu, 2019). This finding also complies with previous studies (Myklebust, 2019; Rapoport & Thibout, 2018) and implies that gender‐specific roles or femininity drive parents' aspirations about the profession of their daughters.…”

Fresh PhD recipients are experiencing restricted career opportunities yet the enrolment of PhD Scholars is increasing rapidly. Perhaps, doctoral students lack conscious educational decision-making. Building on such a perspective of doctoral students' unconscious educational choices, we explored their educational choices throughout their life trajectory. We started with a qualitative inquiry of 18 different PhD scholars in Pakistan. The findings helped us in developing a measure to determine the extent of herding in doctoral students' educational decisions. We 'benefitted from' this opportunity and validated the scale in two separate quantitative inquiries for conducting an exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The study concluded a 3-dimensional scale (consisting of 15items) for measuring 'herding in educational decisions'. The study offers certain implications for conscious educational decisions. Doctorat frais les récipiendaires connaissent des opportunités de carrière restreintes, mais ils'inscris au doctorat. Le nombre d'universitaires augmente rapidement. Peut-être que les doctorants manquent de prise de décision consciente en matière d'éducation. Partant d'une telle perspective des choix éducatifs inconscients des doctorants, nous avons exploré leurs choix éducatifs tout au long de leur trajectoire de vie. Nous avons commencé

“…Though boys are seen as less ambitious when it comes to an educational context, it is the opposite once the students enter a work context. Myklebust (2019) investigated perceived barriers in young Norwegian women who had chosen a nautical education, a very male-dominated field. Myklebust found that it was not the girls' skills or abilities that were questioned in relation to their choice of education, but instead their future role as mothers.…”

We investigate how context might influence adolescent boys’ and girls’ ambition and the impact of gender role conformity and social status. Adolescent participants ( N = 270) reported their ambition in one of three experimentally manipulated contexts: future education, future work, or a control. Boys experienced a significant negative drop in ambition in a future education context versus control. There was no difference for girls. Gender role conformity moderated the effects for boys such that the more conform, the less ambitious in an educational context. There was no moderating effect for girls. Social status had no moderating effect. Explanations are discussed, including how negative academic gender role stereotypes may affect boys’ ambition and the importance of addressing boys’ cultures at school.

“…However, numerous stereotypical viewpoints underwent a significant transformation, particularly with the emergence of women's liberation from the emancipation movement. According to Myklebust's (2019) research findings, transforming the emergence of gender stereotypes rooted in cultural values poses a significant challenge. The SMA Muhammadiyah Boarding School Cilongok Banyumas has developed an educational programme that aims to promote gender alignment while also considering the inherent nature and ethical considerations of sexuality.…”

Developing a humanistically egalitarian variety of perspectives on the relationship between men and women based on the educational system is necessary. Consequently, educational institutions can create an education system with human values. This study focuses on the efforts of Muhammadiyah educational institutions (SMA Muhammadiyah Boarding School Cilongok Banyumas, Madrasah Mualimin Mualimat Muhammadiyah Purwokerto, SMK Muhammadiyah 2 Malang, and MA Muhammadiyah 1 Malang) to establish an egalitarian educational pattern. The Muhammadiyah education system is interpreted using a qualitative phenomenological approach with a gender perspective to promote humanist, moderate, and egalitarian diversity. This study discovered that efforts to comprehend the Koran and al-Hadith regarding egalitarian relationships between men and women could not be separated from the orientation of Muhammadiyah's educational institution as a religious renewal movement. This effort produces a humanist- egalitarian education based on integrative values between the empirical dimension (verse kauniyyah) and the revelations of the Qur'an and al-Hadith (verse qauliyyah), which are dialogued to foster human religious potential that is non-discriminatory. Based on theological values, the axiological dimension of education creates a proportional attitude in the relationship between men and women. This is referred to as gender-religious equality.
