“…This study found that girls are three times more likely to have egalitarian views on gender role than boys. This finding is in line with other studies where girls held more egalitarian attitudes ( 39 – 41 ). Girls may tend to be more egalitarian because they are the primary victims of gender discrimination upheld by the patriarchy, and thus have more to gain from favoring an egalitarian society ( 39 , 42 ).…”

BackgroundIn Bangladesh, large gender differentials exist in outcomes in almost all spheres of life, stemming from conservative norms and attitudes around gender. Adolescence is a crucial period for social-emotional learning that can shape gender norms and attitudes.ObjectiveThe aim of the paper is to investigate the extent to which adolescents hold egalitarian attitudes toward gender roles, and to examine the factors that influence egalitarian gender attitudes.MethodsThe paper uses data from a nationally representative sample survey of 7,800 unmarried girls and 5,523 unmarried boys ages 15–19 years. Adolescents were considered to have egalitarian attitudes on gender role if they disagreed with all the following four unequal gender role statements with regards to socio-economic participation, while respondents who agreed with any one of the four statements were considered to have non-egalitarian attitudes: (1) It is important that sons have more education than daughters, (2) Outdoor games are only for boys, not girls, (3) Household chores are for women only, not for men, even if the woman works outside the home, and (4) Women should not be allowed to work outside the home. Multivariable linear probability regression analysis was implemented to identify the factors shaping attitudes on gender roles.ResultsUnmarried girls and boys differ hugely in their views on gender roles regarding socio economic participation-girls were much more egalitarian than boys (58 vs. 19%). The multivariate linear probability model results show girls and boys who completed at least grade 10 were 31% points and 15% points more likely to have egalitarian views on gender roles respectively, compared to girls and boys with primary or less education. Having strong connection with parents is associated with having egalitarian views on gender roles among girls but not boys. Adolescents' individual attitude on gender role is highly associated with the views of their community peers for both girls and boys. Girls and boys who had participated in adolescent programs were 6–7% points more likely to have egalitarian attitude than those who were not exposed to these programs. Egalitarian views were also significantly higher, by 5% points among girls and 6% points among boys, who were members of social organizations compared to those who were not. Watching television had positive influence on egalitarian attitudes among girls but not among boys. To create a more egalitarian society, both men and women need to hold progressive attitudes toward gender roles. The interventions must be multilevel, influencing adolescents at the personal, interpersonal, communal, and societal levels.

“…Apakah perempuan dan laki-laki dalam dunia pendidikan mampu membedakan diri dalam bersikap ilmiah? Peran masing-masing perlu diuji signifikansinya walaupun gender memiliki peran dalam menentukan bagaimana seseorang dalam bersikap baik secara umum maupun dalam dunia pendidikan (Eber et al, 2021;Hendrickx et al, 2022;Rivera-Garrido, 2022). Hal ini menandakan potensi perbedaan antara laki-laki dan perempuan dalam bersikap ilmiah perlu tinjauan dalam konteks yang lebih spesifik, seperti kuriositas, keobjektifan, kekritisan, ketelatenan, keterbukaan, peran serta, kewajiban, dan keteraturan (Pitafi & Farooq, 2012;Suryawati & Osman, 2017).…”

Penelitian ini melibatkan 50 siswa sebagai responden yang terdiri dari 25 siswa laki-laki dan 25 siswa perempuan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan analisis Rasch untuk menelaah skala pengukuran, keadaan umum siswa, dan keadaan spesifik antara siswa laki-laki dan perempuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan skala yang disusun dan responden yang dipilih dalam pengukuran sesuai dengan tuntutan Rasch model. Kemudian sikap ilmiah siswa secara umum baik laki-laki dan perempuan menunjukkan rata-rata yang lebih tinggi dari rata-rata item pengukuran dengan menggunakan Rasch model. Dalam satuan Logits Sikap ilmiah perempuan menunjukkan 1,28 dan Laki-laki 1,26. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara sikap ilmiah laki-laki dan perempuan. This study aims to describe and analyze the extent to which male and female students compare in addressing scientific issues and compare them with the previous provisional data obtained by the researcher.
