ABSTRACT
The purpose of this research is to inquire the semiotic meanings in the gender roles of female P.E. teachers. The methods of this research are the conceptual analysis of semiotics and the in-depth interviews of existing experiences. The conceptual analysis of semiotics is following Saussure''s semiotics that explains the Lacan’s semiotics which the signified is exchanged. The three semiotic styles of Saussure’s semiotics are the “icon”, “index” and “sign”; and the four relations of the three semiotic styles are the “similarities”, “causality”, “uncertainty” and “establishment by usage” .The in-depth interviews of existing experience come from Roland Barthes who makes the existing experience is of the semiotics, so one can adopt the in-depth interviews to interpret the experiences of “sign”. This research finds out the semiotic meanings in gender roles of female P.E. teachers as follow:
1.Instructional functions of female P.E. teacher have
similarities with maternity in the fields of deduction and
directness.
2.Labor statuses of female P.E. teacher, in the aspect of
existing experiences, follow the relations of causality.
3.Specialties of female P.E. teacher, in the existing
experiences of gender discrepancy in sports, possess the
phenomena of causality, uncertainty and establishment by
usage.
4.The ways female P.E. teacher are dressed up, derived from
their inner appearances and propriety, have factors of
uncertainty and establishment by usage.
The research is also performed to deduce the generality and particularity of semiotic meanings in the gender roles of female P.E. teachers. This research thus concludes that the semiotics can explicate the gender roles of female P.E. teachers well, and the gender roles of female P.E. teachers are perfect cases of semiotics.
Key words: female P.E. teacher, gender role, conceptual
analysis, in-depth interviews, semiotic meanings.
