| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 公民教育與活動領導學系 === 94 === This study aimed at exploring gender ideologies underlying four Ethics textbooks written by Taiwan scholars, published or republished in 2004-2006. The content analysis method was employed to answer three research questions: (1) how did the four textbooks portray sex/gender issues, (2) what gender ideologies were presented in the four textbooks, and (3) what are the mutilated texts in the four textbooks regarding gender issues?
The results generated from this study are of three aspects. First, except the text of ‘Ethics and Life’, most texts portray sex/gender issues in fragmented ways and with traditional and conservative thinking. Second, gender ideologies underlying the four texts include the Gods theory, the biological determinism, heterosexual hegemony, functionalism, and patriarchy ideology. All the four texts showed linguistic bias against women and homosexuality directly or indirectly. It is also found that most texts ignored the experience and voice of women and homosexuality. Third, most texts were not aware of gender stereotype, bias and discrimination underlying traditional Ethnics paradigms and the new paradigm, the Feminist Ethics of Care, was omitted and distorted.
Based upon the above-mentioned findings, suggestions were offered to Ethics textbook writers and users.
