INTRODUCTION

In 1976-1977 the Commission for the Im9rove:nent of Women's Rights funded by HEEAP developect. a series of sex $tereotyping awareness modules for elernentary school teachers.

As part of this project, we conducted a survey of the Spanish Reading Series and Social Science and History textbooks (1-3 grades) which revealed that with only a few minor exceptions, textbooks repeat and reinforce in oictures and words the traditional female stereotvoes.*

.

--

Through this survey we discovered that what nost sorely lacking in the textbooks, and thus ~ost desperately needed in the classroom is the new image of adult wonen and a wide range of ad".llt role models fer girls. We also documented the need fer both girls and boys to learn about the history of women; about women's suffrage and struggle for equality and about the fenale herofnes of our country and the worlr.l.

We thus, recomm.ended that positive, active roles enacted by women through history and modern society be researched thoroughly and incorporated ínto classroom materials. ~e aevelop supplementary materials with a multicultural approach for teachers and students at the eler~entary school level appears to be particularly significant far women's educatiónal equity, since at the age period befare ten, children develop many conceptions abaut other cultures and nany rigid stereoty!Jes. In fact, the main objective of this current project is precisely the developnent of six illustrated pamphlets far elementary school teachers designed to sup9lement wo~en's o:mission in the Social Stud.ies and History textbooks used in all elenentary puhlic schools and most private schools in Puerto Rico and in many bilingual programs in the United

Sta tes.

In our second rv.cEAP project we analyzed a.nd evaluated not only the Social Studies textbooks but also the teaching guides used in grades one through six.

Part I of this report summarizes the content analysis of Social Studies and History curriculum.

Parallel to this critical study of instructional materials we under:took a bibliographical and hi.storical search which provided the necessary background material for the content and illustration of the supplements. The facts and historical evidence gathered in this search demonstrates that wenen are an integral part of history and society even though !:bey are ...

often ignored or omitted by writers of existing textbooks.

A selected bibliography on wonen in Puerto Rican, Spanish &""nerica and World History is included in Part II. Also included is an inventory of photos and illustrations dealing with Puerto Rican wornen throughout history.

In Part III of this report we describe the ?rocess of development and evaluation of our final products ana include a detailed description of the objectives, structure and content of the six Social Studies and History supplernents.

In the evaluation of these products we involved an advisory cornmittee and the intended users. Elernentary school teachers ·were used as an integral part of the development and evaluation process since adaptation by the teacher rather than adoption by the school is our ultimate objective. Procedures used in and the results of the evaluation are also contained in Part III. For the evaluation process we looked at indicators of gain or change as related to stated goals and objectives in the tarjet population and indicators of change in directions not anticipated. Measurement instruments were previously prepared geared toward assessing attitudes toward sex roles, knowledge about women's history and sex-stereotyping awareness.

Empirical data was gathered from a randornly selected sample of elernentary school teachers with whom the materials were validated. We administered tests to both experimental and control groups to see whether pre-post gains were statistically significant. The results from our validation study appear in Part IV of thi.s report.

Besides evaluating and making an overall judgement about the product's efficacy we prepared a brief report with as analysis of how the project worked. Part V assesses whether the staff actually implernented the activities according to the program objectives and points out difficulties encountered in project implenentation.

The staff of the study consisted of a project director, two full-time and one part-ti~e researchers, an executive secretary and a project coo~iinator.

Isabel Pic6 de Hernández served as project director. She directed and coordinated the research team; provided operational guideliness throughout the research; supervised the preparation of printed material and with the assistance of María N. Ac.in and Carmen.. C... Arroyo prepared the final report.

An outside evaluator was recruited for the project.

During the f irst f ive rnonths of the project Maria M. LopezGarr iga, a social psichologist and professor at the Graduate School of Psychology of the University of Puerto Rico devised vali<lation procedures and the project evaluation design including the sample. After her resignation to becorne Pres~­ dent of the Nomen's Cornmission, Judith Danielsen served as evaluator. Ms. Danielsen, an ex-dean and professor of the Public Health School at the University of Puerto Rico advised us in the selection and development of measurem.ent instruments, in data processing and analysis. She prepared the validation study included in this report.

PART 1

CONTENT ANALYSIS OF SOCIAL STUDIES ANO HISTORY TEXTBOOKS Social Studies at the primary grades is the study of human beings interacting with each other and forrning farnilies, communities,and countries.

Through the Social Studies Program at the elementary school level children come across for the first time with basic concepts such as family and work roles, human being-land relations, division of labor, the state and the political process, and the modes of life in other countries and cultures.

They are also introduced to the study of Puerto Rican history and culture.

This part of the report describes and documents the extent of sex stereotyping, the omission of women, and the use of derneaning ar sexist language in Social Studies and History textbooks used in grades one through six in all public schools in Puerto Rico and sorne bilingual programs in the United States.

Since we prepared a study an thi~ subject in.Spanish which is included in the report Machismo y educaci6n en Puerto Rico, we will only highlight the methodology utilized and the mayor findings of the content analysis.

For a detailed analysis of textbooks used in the f irst three grades see our last year report Sexisrn in the Classroom, (October, 1977) * Methodol_9!1Y In our project we analyzed all the Social Studies and History textbooks used in the elementary grades in the public school system in Puerto Rico.

The series consists of nine (9} books with a teachers guide far each grade from one through six.

All the books analyzed except Two Families and My Second Social Studies Book were prepared, illustrated and printed in the Department of Public Instruction. They represent an effort by the Department to develop curricular material more adecuate to the Puerto Rican reality. Formerly most of the books used at this level were translations of books edited in the United States and the content and illustrations were alien to our culture. My Second Social Studies Book even though translated by Puerto Ricans still has this serious limitation.

An evaluation sheet was devised as a research tool, pretested and then modified and put into final form to analyze the narrative and graphic content of the textbooks. {See Appendix 1.) The information was compiled and then tabulated on charts where the data could be readily compared. The data was classified by age and sex in arder to identify the different modes and intensity of seg stereotyping.

We then analyzed the teacher's guides, identified the learning objectives, and compared the roles asigned to male and females in the texts.

R:>r analytical purposes we selected four recurring themes and concepts in the texbooks: family, conununity, country and history. Then proceeded to identify female stereotypes or omissions in each theme. Finally, a list of sexist terminology or uses of demeaning language was compiled. The infonnation for each grades was gathered on coding sheetsº

The problem of sex stereotyping Social Science and History textbooks repeat and reinforce in words and images the traditional fernale stereotypP.s.

The illustrationsreinforce the i~portance and superiorilv of roen in our society and assign wornen a subordinate rol~.

This is evident from the proportion ·of males to fernales illustrated in the tex~. Out of a total of 1,494 persons illustrated, 1,045 are men and only 449 females.

(See Table 1.) ·A distorted ?icture of reality is presented since woMen in Puerto Rico represent 51% of the population.

In textbooks they only represent 30% or the illustrated population.

Besides appearing less frequently than roen in texts, women are involved in fewer activities and jobs than men.

Only 70 fenales workers are illustrated, compared with 331 men.

(See Table 2.)

Furthermore, the work options for fernales are rather limited - 19 fenales occupations in contrast to 59 for nales.. The jobs more often assigned to women are those of agricultural worker, teacher, cashier, nurse arrl secretary. Men on the other hand, are given a w~der variety of jobs for example, agricultural worker, construction worker, sailor, baseball player, policemen, rnechanic, sales clerk, fireman and industrial worker.

Of a total of 208 females i.llustrated, 61 are depicted in the role of housewives and mothers. nore over, the mayority of the activities performed by girls iti the texts socialize then into the future role of housewife, spouse, and mother.

Tasks such as washing and drying dishes and sweeping floors are carried out by the little girls portrayed in the texts.

Content analysis of illustrations shows that men are repeatedly J;Ortrayed as breadwinners, providers, productive human beings, while women are almost exclusively viewed as cons~mers and recipients of goods produced and earned by nen.

Another sexual stereotype characteristic of Social Studies textbooks is that of rnale identification with raoid social change and technological advances and of female a~so­ ciation with traditional role~ which imply little or no social change.

For all purposes, women are practically excluded from activities in modern industrial society.

A..n excellent exarnple of this is presented in a series of illustrations depicting the concept of change and progress: a gas "lamp evolves into an e.lec trie bulb, a boy into a man, and a womai-1 doing her laundry in a river is substituted by a modern washing machine.

The assignment of stereotyped roles is also evident in the presentation of the mayor themes of the first three. grades.

In the first grade, the central theme is the family; in second grade, is the cornmunity; and in the third grade is the country.

In each of these areas the assignment of stereotyped sex roles was observed.

Family A middle class family consisting of father, mother and few children where father works outside and mother stays home all day is the established pattern in the texts. Female passiveness and dependence on the male and male independence and agressiveness pervades throughout the texts. Affection, tenderness and other moving emotions are usually experienced by females. Work as well as recreational activities presented enhance the dominant role of man in family and economy. Wornen and girls act as spectators. · The teacher's guide discusses family relationships in terrns of functions. The religious function is mostly associated with women. On the other hand recreation is shown in the texts as being the scle responsability of male family members. Taking care of the health and sickness of family members is shown as a function of the mother. Raising children is also shown as the rnother's sole responsability.

In the unit dealing with the concept of mutual help, females predominate fundamentally engaged in.home tasks while in the unit on the use of natural resources the male prodorninates. The illustrations support the stereotyped view that natural resources are rnainly utilized by men. Women only use natural resources for domestic tasks.

On the concept of work to satisfy the family economic needs, males are shown workíng in the economy while no female appears working outside the home, a far cry frorn reality. The expressed idea in the book that people work just to earn money is a materialistic view which tends to dehumanize labor. It also reinforces the traditional belief that married·women should not work outside the home unless there is an imminent economic need in the family.

Community The community is the fundamental concept developed in the second grade currículum. "For a community to exist,. accordin~ to the teaching guide "ít is necessary that there are people in contant interaction within a determined spaced

and time".

The purpose of including 'p,.~ople", that ia me~ and wom~n as elements that make up the communi ty o.on·tSl'·afitfJ. with tha high percentage of masculinc characters illustrated.

Of a total of 263 persons illustra.ted in My Second Book of Social Studies, 174 are males and 89 females.

·- L•

To explain, for e:{ample .. the ideo. that many people and many types of persons live in the commu.nity, the following illustrations are used: the faces of two boys, a man, a fireman, a policeman, a construction ·worker and a nurse. Only one of the seven faces is that .:).C a woman and she represents a work role traditionally · assigned. to the female sex.

Under the question 11 What rnles do we need here (in the community) ?,. , a policerr..an is shown directing traffic and a mother separating a girl and boy who are fighting.

Ten ~ in a group are illustrat2d to show the persons responsable for making the laws.

Only a nurse is shown among five other public employees to illust·rate t~~os(~ services offered by the government to the comrrnni ty ..

Moreover,

scx-st9reutypi~g is very intensive in the of the nodern indust·. ~':ial cortr::uni ty. Men are always associated with everything th~t rupres~nts progress, social charge or mode:i.::-n ·'technology. Most of the illustrations show men operating macltir;_et. and equipme.:1t, driving trucks, fabricating autcmobj.les,.. workix:g in inc~ustry u.nd transforming natural resources into industrial p~oductc. ~ornen are not presented as part of this society, aYcept as housewives, mothers,nurses, teachers and other traditional female occupations~

portray~al

The curriculum tries to o:::-ient the studen-t as to the importance of being a good producer and consumer. The concept of the woman that i~ derived from the illustrations Js that of consumer, the person in charge of making the necessary purchases such as food and clothing. Man is po~trayed as the provider, obtaining from the land and the sea those products necessary to sustain life.. Prom these illust:rations emerges, the image of female depenclcrtcy on the product of male work to satisfy her needs.

The need far ma.ny types of wor}".' is another idea outlined in the second grade text. Nevertheless, in the illustrations there is more variety of jobs far t~sculine characters than for female characters. Of a total of 58 illustrations of workers, 38, or 70.4 per cent are of men.

They work in 24 different types of jobs.

Only 16, or 29.6 per cent of the workers are females, who are shown working in 11 different jobs. ·. ...

Men are shown in the fallowing: jobs: constrúction workers (4}, mechanics (4), guards (3), carpenter (3), baker (2}, salesman (2), driver (2), fireman (2), and one street cleaner, policeman, iarrner, mailrnan, industrial worker, painter, teller, officer clerk, tow truck driver, dentist, fighter, priest, lawyer, technician, public works employee, and furniture maker.

Women are shown as secretaries (3), teachers (3), tellers (2), and one dancer, assembly line employee, salesclerk cashi~~, nurse, singer, social worker and waitress.

The text also fails to show women as agents of social chang"e.

The illustrations used to explain changes i.n: mass communication and transportation have fourteen ~haracters, all of whon are roen.

The contact of women with nature is another area that reflects sexist views.

In the present text women appear fundamentally using natural resources in domestic chores: tMshing clothes, cleaning the house and taking care of the qarden.

Only roen appear transforming nature for the development of productive activities in the corcununity.

These details reinforce the notion that women depend on the work and creativity of men and that their contribution to the development of the community is minimal or null..

Conscious of these limitations in the present curriculum we have attemped to develop materials that present a true equality between the human ·beings that live in the community.

In the second grade textbook children also conf ront a problem 0f cultural identification.

The communities presented to children are alien to the averag·e Puerto Rican.

The rural comr.mnity is represented by red barn with a chimney totally unlike our farros.

The urban communities are typical to those existing in the United States ~ith skyscrapers, houses with chimneys, declining roofs and sharp ?Ointed towers and even snow in sorne cases. The Puerto Rican children can not identify with these communities. For our children their corrununity is a "barrio", public housing, an arbanization, a condorninium or a small town.

Nene of these communities are illustrated in the textbook.

The materials that we have prepared in this project also attempt to correct this deficiency.

Women's Omission in History Textbooks In the third grade, students are introduced to the study of history. In the third ~nd fourth grade·they study Puerto Rican history and culture; the history of the Arnericas in the fifth grade, and in the sixth grade Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Unfortunately, students learn very little from the textbooks used about women's role at different times in history and about their contributions to progress, liberty and the general welfare of theír societies. Women as an integral part of the historical process are not adequately represented in our history textbooks.

Women are excluded in the history abont the arrival of Columbus to Puerto Rico, in the spite of the fact, that taino women guided him from Dominica to our· Island. Women as a group are not mentioned in the historícal account of the Taino ~re~Colombian society.

In 20 illustrations from the book The History of Our Indians, only 3 of then clearly dep~ct fema le indians, n aturally grinding corn.

The role of women during the Spanish conquest and colonization is omitted. The large number 9f European women who carne to the island and settled here by themselves or with their families is not mentioned. No mention is made either of the economic role of black women duri~g slavery, their resistance ~o this system and their important contribution to our history and culture. ,

Wornen 1 s cultural contribution~ in the XIX century and their participation in the coffee, needlework, and tobacco industr::s.during the early stages of industrialization is ignored. There is no recognition of women's efforts and leadershíp in the trade union movement neither of their struggle for women's legal emancipation and suffrage r~ovement. Existing textbooks say in effect that men made history while women watched.

Furtherrnore, wornen are absent from the history text dealing The history that is been. told is the history of men, and among them, the conquerors, the colonists, the generals, and the governors. The text America: Past and P~esent gives children the view of a male dominated world as well as an account of the Conquest of America from the viewpoint of the conqueror. Although some mention is made of women activities in Pre-colurnbian civi.lizations, their importance in the religion, the economy and the education of childre~ is not fully acknowledged. with the American continent.

In the readings on the colonization period of the United States the "pilgrirn fathers" are highly praised. There is no specif ic reference to the women who carne to America and founded -16-

the 13 colonies. Our children do not learn frorn this textbook the role U. S. women have played at different historical periods and events such as the American Revolution, the abolition of slavery and the Civil War. Despite the fact that every country in the Americas have his share of outstanding women who participated in revolution-

ary and political reform movements nene are presented in the text. The few women mentioned are wives and ~others of the prominent leaders of these movements. An example appears in the biography of Abraharn Lincoln where the relationship with his mother is presented as influential in the life and achievements of her son. The text portrays the self-denial of the traditional mother who experiences success and satisfaction through her son. Only 10 females are mentioned by their names in the fifth grade text out of a total of 124 names.

(See Table 3.)

Even more dramatic is the gross omission of women in the six grade textbook - The Old World - Past and Present.· Only one out of 53 persons mentioned by their narnes is female. Her name is Maria Moffat and she is the wife of David Livingstone.

In this book dedicated to the study of the history, geography and culture of Europe, Asia and Africa we can likewise observe the absence of the historical ·perspective on women and for the institutions which moulded their lives at different historical periods. Great men in the field of science and ar.t are presented as the European contribution to civilization. Colonists . ~nd explorers are mentioned in relation to the African continent.

However, African men and women who fought in the last decades for the independence of the new African nations are not included, only the dates of their country's liberation.

The impact of historical events and socio-econornic processes on the roles of women is· also disregarded. In the text, the Old World - Past and Present the Industrial Revolution and its effects on society are explained but the irnpact of industrialization on women's roles in the home and at work are cornpletely ignored.

Nothing is said about the exclusion of womerl from the political process and all the restrictions to their riqtl:ts at different times in history. The Gree·k democracy is considered in the text as one of the most perfect forrnsof government. It is not mentioned in the text that women did not enjoy - citizenship rights in the Greek democracy.

Equally true, the Magna ·carta and the Declaration of Human Rights as well as other legal documents related to human rights and democracy were not applicable to wornen at the time. No reference is made of the discriminatory practices legal or

otherwise suffered by women throughout history. This omission and distortion of the historical reality and experience of half of humanity could leave a false and permanent impression on children, and therefore, incapacitate thern to understand present and future struggle for equality. It is a fact that women's struggle for equality in education, work, and legal rights are totally absent in the texts.

The Use of Demeaning or Sexist Langua9e Language can either acknowledge women' s full hmnanity or relegate the female half of the species to secondary status.

In many cases, the .standard language used in our educational materials sets traps which prevent girls and boys from a healtlly sense of their own worth without belittling the worth of the other sex. Textbook writers socialized and educated in a male oriented culture and lang u age, unconsciously portray the nature and role of the female human being in archaic molds. Our analysis of Social Studies and History textbooks revealed that language most commonly used to describe females and males is burdened by sexual stereotypes and that some words and gramatical forms used are de~ogatory to females.

It is also evident from the analysis that the use of the linguistic generic in Social Studies and History textbooks unleashes three basic problems: (1) sexist ambiguity, that i~ uncertainty as to whether males or females are referred to, (2) distortion, that is the possibility that when the masculine and neuter gender coincide, activities of females are attributed to males and vice versa; and (3) omission, or the total exclusion of women from the described historical process.

It is important that we become aware of the effects produced·· by the use of the linguistic generic and other language modes

when they coincide,. with the male gender singular or plural..

Frequently when this language expressions are used in readings about certain historical events, activities, and functions i t is n_ot clear if the reference is made to only males or to both

sexes,

Sorne examples found in the textbooks that can result in misconceptions are: "The :Indians were of bronze color, black hair ••• " "With the arrival of the Spaniards to our island come the customs, beliefs religion, ••• They established states where they cultivated añCf-grew crops ••• " "For the cultivation of sugar cane black slaves were brought from Africa ••• " "The hanunocks were knitted by I.ndians with the fibers of a plant ••• 11 -18-

We do not know from the text if the indíans, €paniards, black slaves were only males or from both sexes. The student c:an assume, for exampl~, that nk~ittir:g harnmocksn was a man 1 f; JOb. From anthropological and historical research we know that women in '!aino society were in charge of knitting hammocks.

The use of the linguistic generic in this and other cases unleashes sexist ambiguity.

An excellent example of language traps is the use of the linguistic generic in the definitions of history and culture.

In the third grade textbook it is stated that history began with ºman °, that he had lived in caves, us,~d · fire or electricity and so forth, and that history records, interprets and teaches what "man" has said and done through the ages. Frorn this definition, we cannot expect children to understand that both males, females,boys, and girls participated in the historical process. An experiment was made in the United States with elernentary school students where they were asked to draw the first 11 man" that lived on earth and. not a single student drew the picture of a woman. The linguistic generic 11 man" or 11 rnenº is supposed to include both men and women. But in the mind of young children the association is directly made with malesr thus excluding females.

On the other hand, certain phrases used in ·the texts give likewise the impression that males are the only group of persons capable of having exceptional qualities, passions or rights.

Many such descriptions of menmay be found in the narrative such as: "¡Qué arrogancia! 11 , ¡Qué valor! Hombres como esos ya no volverán a .nacer". The same is true when it is stated that "It always occurs when man gives free rein to his passionsn or "It is guaranteed that every man arrested has the right to see a judge". There are many other instances when the use of linguistic generic "man" or "roen" in fact excludes women. Example: when we speak of 11 men 9f science n and "men of good will" to er.lPhasize the achievements of scientists and the contribütions. of outstandin9 persons to humanity. valuable and desirable that our language incorporate the new reality and ideas about women in rnodern society. The best way to express clearly and with precision these new concepts is to use "human being", "persons" inste ad of "man"; "humani ty 11 instead of "mankind"; 11 scientistics" instead of "men of science".

These substitute words do not affect in any way the accepted rules or appropriate uses of our language. 'rt is

None the less, , we should observe that there are certain language uses and gramrnar rules that in our judgement are the conseguence of male suprernacy in society. Due to the fact that for -19-

,

centuries many occupations were prohibited to women, there are not words in the Spanish language to describe the female term for them. That is the case of the word "rn~dico" {doctor).

Sorne ·male terms for certain occupations are easily changed into the female term: maestra (teacher, administradora {administrator), directora (director). These terrns are already common. However, other terms are not readily used. There has been more reluctance to accept, for example: pilota (pilot), bombera (firewoman), gerenta (manage·r.) • We are not used to saying "la m~dicq n ( the female doctor), "la mecánica" (the female mechanic), and "la polic!a" (the female police officer} because these words have a different everyday meaning. For example: "la mecánica 11 (rrechanics) is the study of movement and moving forces; "la m~dica" is a medium: and "la polic1a" (the police) refers to the whole law enforcing body.

To use only male terms to designate a particular occupation is to condition the students to think that only males can hold that particular occupation. This situation helps perpetuate stereotypes.

Other examples are elected positions in government such as "alcalde" (mayor), "legislador" (congress man), and "goberpador" (governor). Since elected positions are not restricted to one sex the texts should include both male and female gender. The article "el" for males and "la" for females befare the noun could be used to distinguish one sex from the other in.cases where the noun is neutral such as "estudiantes" (studentJa); "representante" (member of the House of Representative), "juez" {judge) , etc.

Finally, it rnust be said that language is not merely a means of cornmunication• it is a way of expressing ideas, beliefs, shared patterns of conduct and cultural aspirations. Ttterefore certain linguistic expressions and adjectives used in reference to women reflect the inferiority and stereotyped roles that are usually adscribed to females. Few of these examples are found in the text: On the woman as a possession of man: "The Spaniards conduct caused great anguish among the Indians ••• took away their land, their women and their religious beliefs". · On the subordinate position of the wornen in the family: . ."The head of the family and his wife sit around like sta~es and the rest of the family do likewise in· age order".

On the anonymous wife: "The wife of Nabucodonozor carne from mountainous lands and did not feel happy in the flat lands of Babilone. She missed the bills of her country".

-20-

On sexual stereotypes: " ••. And you had to watch the expression of happiness · in the panting and sweating : men ••• " "--woman, give me my rice with

'cumbera', sorne said,

gfve me my rice with "guardarraya".

"His father was a small businessman. The mother was a sweet and pious woman devoted to her children and home".

All. of the above language expressions could be substituted with grarrunatically accepted language forros to express clearly and with precision the new concept of woman. In a society where sex equality is a goal as well as a oonsti.tutional mandate, it is logical that we update our forms of expression and f ind new linguistic styles in the preparation of educational materials.

PART III DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF SOCIAI..1 STUDIES

AND HISTORY SUPPLEMENTS

A.

General Objectíves of the Supplements As part of this project, five illustrated booklets of supplementary reading were prepared whose themes cor-

respond to those contained in each one of the History and Social Studies textbooks used in the elem~ntary grades.

In addition, a booklet on the history of Puerto Rican wornen was written for third and fourth grade students.

As it was denonstrated in the first chapter of this report, the analysis of the official textbooks used by the Pue~to Rican Department of Education showed how wo:r.ten were always assigned traditional sex roles in the Social Studies textbooks and how thei~ participation in historical events was either glossed or totally o~itted.

Thus, the nain objective of the supple~ents is to counteract the omission of wo~en in the historical and social processes in the different cornnunities, as well as the stereotyped roles ascribed to them on account of their sex.

The general objectives are the following: 1. To provide unf amil iar or unlmown inforrnation regarding the history and accomplishrnent of women to avoíd their exclusion from history and to provide new ways of looking at women in arder to overcome sex role stereotypes.

2. To provide teachers with the intellectual,

social, and historical background that may be of help in understanding women • s stat,1s or position in the past an1 presently.

3. To noint out the persistence of attitudes, prej'J.dices, traditions, and.custoMs related to the

t~eatment

Structure of the Supplements Each supplernent contains a general introduction addressed to the teacher about the principal topics discussed, explaining its aims and providing a guideline about how to use the referred material.

Besides, preceding each one of the units contained in every supplements, the specific objectives of leal;'.'ning related to ~aid units, were clearly traced.

Supple~entary reading followed, after which a series of conprehension exercises and suggested activities were presented.

Every supplement followed this~type of format with the exception of the one designed ~or f irst grade and the student's booklet prepared for the students. For this elementary level the most adequate form of transmitting the concepts was by means of illustrations and pictures together with readings and suggestions directed to the teachers regarding the method they should follow in the use of these illustrations and pictures.

-61-

concept is clarified and enlarged since extended families and dif ferent types of nuclear families headed by a mother or a father or both are included.

'I'he importance and the value of household work is emphasized, and the idea that this type of \·mrk should be shared by persons of either sex is supported.

The changing roles of roen and women not only in the home, but in the work place are also presented in the pictures and text of the supplement.

2. Second Grade Supplement:

Subject: The Conununity By means of pictures a variety of Puerto Rican co~­ munities representative of different geographic zones and socio~economic levels are presented, including the Puerto Rican coni.~unities in the United States.

Readings about life in communities of other countries like Africa, Bolivia, and the United States are included as well as wo.r.ten's role in those cornmunities. The interdependence between the various human communities to satisfy their needs is also pointed out.

In relation to the laws and rules formulated by the communities for their best coexistence, the story of · Guelcia, the assemblywoman shows the importance of women as agents of social and political change, bringing up the f act that the greater participation of women in communal and public life leads to a Qore democratic society.

The final chaoter is dedicated to the contributions of the Puerto Rica~ women to the artistic, intellectual, and cultural development of the country.

4. Fifth Grade Supolement: Subject:

Wo~en

in Latín American Historv

Starting fro~ a rnulti-cultural and multi-racial approach, this supplement deals with the participation of women as an integral part of the American continent history.

From this point of view, the following tapies are brou.ght up: t.he importance of women in the ancient nrecolombian civilizations; the impact of the Spanish conquest and civilization upon the Indian women; the role played by the Spanish women in t.he set tlemen t of the Netv Wo:r ld; the contributions of ·wom~n in the Latin .American wars of independence: their exclusion of citizenshin rights once the republics were established: and théir struggle to gain the rights which by just'ice belonge:l to them.

5. Sixth Grade Supplement: Subject: Women in the ~·Jorld: Past and Present On account of the extensiveness of the topic, this supplement is limited to underline the importance of women in particular historical periods and countries of the world.

The role and position of wornen in two ancient civilizati.ons, the Egyp.tian and. the Greek, are discussed. Regarding the Egyptian civilization, emphasis is placed upon the

-63-

customs that allowed relative freedom to women of the royal farnilies and of the high classes, to the extent that during the New Empire a few wonen actea as. governors.

As to the Greek civilization the position of women in the two principal citiee: Athens and Sparta, is contrasted. tn Athens, the cradle of democracy, women received a more unequal treatrnent than in Sparta, where in ~any situations women and men were treated'almost equally.

In the case of both civilizations, the econornic function of women as the essential producers · within the family ~nit is clearly explained. Also the attitudes, norms and customs of both civilizations concerning the unequal and oppressive treatment of women ax-e emphasized.

The next historical period inoluded deals with the revolution that has had the qreatest repercussion in the transforrnation of the world, that is, the Industrial Revolution, with which women enterad the labor force.

The miserable conditions of chtldren and wornen at the early stages of the Industrial Revolution whioh will. eventually lead to the participation of wornen in the orqanized labor movement and in the struggle for the!r right to vote, are emphasized.

There is also a chapter devoted to.the fei~inist movement in which several outstanding feminists frorn Europe and the United States are mentioned.

The final chapter deals with the preeent situation of women in Africa and China.

Developrnent procesa Several editors and compilors were responsible for producing the first draft of each supplement. All materials were reviewed by the Project Director and sent for feedback to the WEEAP project officer, Dr. Ana Maria Perera and to the President and Executive Director of the Women•s Rights Commission.

An Adviso%y Committee reviewed a draft of each supplement·before it was send to the experimental group of· elementary school teachers. The Advi'sory Cor.unittee had previously considered the format, content and general objectives of the supplements.

The supplements were revised three times during the materials development process. The first·drafts were revised according to comments frorn the staf.f.. The Advisory Committee provdded written and oral commerlts on the second qraft. A copy of the Advisory Committee f:eedback forro is attached in Appendix 2. In addition, the Committee held seven working meetings. In the · mayority of the cases·revisions were agreed by consensus.

Cornments and suggestions were readily incorporated into a new version.

A ºfinalº <lraft was distributed for evaluation to all elementary school teachers in the experimental group of our sample. A copy of the teacher.'s feedback fo~m for each grade is included in Appendix 2.

This draft was again revised according to comments from the teachers. As to revisions it was agreed on a 10% negative response as indicative of the need for sorne change in form'at ar content.

Evaluation of

the

Supplements

In the evaluation of our·social Studies and History Supplements we involved the intended users. Elementary school teachers were used as an integral part of the development and evaluation process since adaptation by the teacher rather than adoption by the school is our our ultimate objective.

1

Teachers were asked to evaluate the content, difficulty and appropriateness of the supplements in terms of the population to be served. An evaluation sheet was developed for each supplement corresponding to grades one through six. .

(See Appendix 2.) Through a checklist as well as open-ended questions teachers were able to express their opinion regarding the adecuacy of the material for elementary school ch~ldren, the level of difficulty in reading comprehension, and the suitableness of the illustrations. Teachers were asked if théy liked the readings included in the different units.

If they answered rrno 11 or "a little" they were asked to explain the answer.

In the second place they were asked to indicate the degree of difficulty that the students could face with supplernentary readings included in the units. If the answer was nregular" or "difficult", they were asked to explain why. Their opinions were also sought concerning the illustrations and how they contributed to the interpretation of the reading material.

Recommendations were alsu asked on this matter. Finally, teachers were urged to advance suggestions for the improvement of the readings, the activities and the illustrations included in the supplements.

Evaluation Procedures Teachers in the experimental group (Group A) participated in the evaluation of the supplements. Sée Table 4 for number of teachers participating by grade. Once they answered the pre-test, a mimeographed copy of the supplements corresponding to the grade they teach was sent to them with.the post-test and the evaluation sheet.

They were instructed to read the supplements, answer the post-test and evaluation sheet, and return both forros by mail. Follow-up letters, calls and sorne visits to schools were made to obtain a higher rate of return. The rate of return was adequate. Out of 112 evaluation sheets sent for grades 2-6, 7B were returned as shown in the following table: -66-

Evaluation of Second Grade . supplementtJtJNTó A1 Río NACIÓ r.1! COMUNIDAD (MY COMMUNITY WAS BORN NEXT TO A RIVER) Teacher's Responses According to the evaluation results presented in Table 5 the great mayority of second grade teachers liked the reading units included in Junto al río naci6 rni comunidad. Only three (3) out of a total of eighteen(18) indicated that a particular unit, in this case unit 3, was not of their liking. ·fiowever, when evaluating the suitableness of the readings for second graders a considerable nurnber of ·teachers considered them above the reading comprehension level of ch4ldren at that age. Eleven (11) out of eighteen {18) pointed out that Unit 3 about the "Norms, Rules and Laws of the Community" vras either "difficult" or ";re<Jular". Units 2 and 6 also received high seores on these categories.

Regarding the third unit, the story on ~Guelcia, the Assemblywoman 11 was criticized . for being too extensive and for the unfamiliar vocabulary.

One of the teachers took the initiative of rewriting it in a ~uch simpler way in order to show the rnanner in which the readings should be written so that second graders may understand them. The story was also criticized because in their opinion the use of the word "assemblywomen" presumes that children at this early age have a knowledge of the gove~nment organization, which is not the case.

Another ~eacher suggested that the word be substi tuted for "sen~.tor", w~ich was more familiar to' the children.

As to the other readings that were evaluated as difficult, the reasons stated had to do with the length of the r.eadings, the cornplexity of the vocabulary, and the deepness of sorne of the themes treated. To deal with this problem sorne teachers suggested that the readings be used as references and be adapted and narrated by themselves according to the level of comprehension of the different groups of children.

Other reconunendations to improve the supplement were the following: the simplification of the narrations, the shortening of the readings, the use of simpler vocabulary,

the addition of poems and songs related.to the themes, so that the content may be transmitted in a more amusing way.

The teachers also recommended the addition of more comprehension exercises and of other activities like· plays, puzzles, and drawings to be colored so that the learning process would take place in a more infor.mal and spontaneous manner. ~1fty· percent of the teachers considered that the illustrations co.ntribute to the interpretation of the readings. ·But an equal percentagethought they did not or just contributed "a 1ittle" to reading interpretation •. Several recommended that more visual material be included since the rural populati.on lacks the necessary background to understand the readings. ~hey aleo recommended the preparation of a set of many big nictures in cardboard for the teacher to show the students during the readings. Other suggested the use of more audiovisual aids like films or sound recordings. Several teachers pointed out that drawings of toys rnade by Zachia should be added for the children to color; that the process described in Eleuteria, the ceramist, be illustrated. Finally most of the teachers suggested that the pictures be bigger and ~n color.

Revisions The supplements was revised according to teacher'g · cormnents and suggestions. We paid special attention to the problem of reading comprehension for second graders.

Stories were snortened and vocabulary added. The story of Guelcia, the Assemblywoman was re-t1ritten, an explanation of role of the Municipal Assemply was added, and the name of the protagonist was changed to Maria for simplif ication purposes.

Regarding the graphic part we added more pictures and illustrations particularly in the units dealirig with our conununities, pineapple and textile production, and children from different countries. Sorne teachers had remarked in their evaluat.ion sheets that the use of illustration and readings about children from communities in other cultures was an excellent idea to broaden our children perspective.

Unfortunately we were not able to include color photos as many teacher's suggested. One of our main goals in this ¿roject is Wide dfssemination of our materials at a moderate price. Color photos increase enormously the cost of repro·-. ·. duction.

Evaluation of Third and Fourth Grade Supplement~ YO MISMA FUI MI RUTA. (WOMEN IN·PUERTO·RICAN HISTORY ANO CULTURE) Third Grade Teaoher's Responses

out of the twen·ty one teachers who answered the evaluation sheets, nineteen stated that they ~iked all the reading units contained in the pamphlet.

(See Table 6.)

Sorne described the pamphlet as "formidable" and challenging to the students, and others expressed that this type of educational material was urgently needed, since it was of great importance that the contributions of women be known.

When asked about the difficulty level the ·students could face with the readings contained in the units, a little more than half of the teachers considered it easy, while the rest of them evaluated the readings as either : "d.ifficul t º or ":.t:egular". In general, the uni ts which were considered most difficult were the last two, mainly the one about feminism in Puerto Rico.

The principal reasons ~iven for considering the reading difficult or slightly difficult for thirdgrade pupils were that the readings were very long, the vocabulary somewhat cornplicated, sorne themes too complex for the intellectual capacity of third gr·aders~ They also mentioned ·that sorne activities at the end of each unit were not s11itable for slow learning children. According to teachers' responses sorne of our _children live in isolated rural and scarcely populated areas and have been deprived of the knowledge and basic skills necessary for the comprehension of the readings.

As to the recommendations made· lto improve the supplernents the teachers suggested the following: the shortening of the readings; the preparat~on of a vocabulary section with definitions and of a bibliography to be included as reference; the addition of poems and songs written by Puerto Rican wo~en; and the separation of the material that belongs to third grade from the one that corresponds to fourth grade. Sorne teachers suggested that more excercises and coloring drawings be included and that audio-visual a~ds and films be provided in the schools. · Approximately more than two fifths of the teachers oonsidered that the illustrations contributed very little to the interpretation of the readings. The majority suggested that the amount of illustrations be increased and that they should be clearer, bigger and in·colors. They also recommencled that portraits of the mentioned Puerto Rican women be -71-

Fourth Grade Teacher's Responses 1

i

Ten of the eleven teachers who answered the evaluation sheet stated their satisfaction with the readings contained in all the uni ts of the pamphlet.

(See Table 7.) Only one of the teachers showed certain.objection since he considered that the second, fifth, and sixth units were two lenghthy (extensive).

Several teachers pointed out that this type of educational material constituted a new element in the currículum, and described i t as "e~~traordinary", n f a,bulous", and 11 int~­ resting". One of the teachers. mailed a letter along with the evaluation sheet stating her satisfaction with the 'good idea of interesting the children in the role that women have played and still play in society". She also pointed out that ~~iswas extremely necessary for our young women who will have to .faoe a different world in the future.

Regarding the illustrations, fou:c teachers thought that they slightly contributed to the interpretation of the readings.

The main reasons advanced f or explaining their cornments were the following: the illustrations were quite blurred; ryore pictures and portraits of the mentioned women should be inclu--. ded, since in this way the students may better engrave on their minds what they read; the pictures should be bigger and in colors, because being more attractive and colorful they could serve as a stimulus or motivation for the readings.

In genera_l terms, as to the difficulty level that students could face, the last three units, specially the one on feminisrn in Puerto.Rico, were considered as the most difficult for the third and fourth grade students.

Since this paraphlet corresponds to the third and fourth grades, many teachers cons~dered ~hat the readings could be very difficult for third grade students, so far as the vocabulary was somewhat complicated for that level. For·this reason, they suggested a glossary including the .. definitions of difficult words. B~sides, they pointed.out that the units should be organized by shorter tapies, since they considered them too long and·with too many details for third grade students.

Besides, two teachers Poin~d out that there are still third grade students who do not master the reading skills. For these cases, they suggested activities or exereises · in accordance with these children's ·1imitations.

Evaluation of F~fth Grade Supplements: YO TAMBIEN SOY AMERICA I AM ALSO AMERICA - HISTORY AND WOMEN OF HISPANIC AMERICA

Teacher•s Responses The general acceptance given by teachers to all readinqs in the pamphlet was very favorable, to the extent. that some of them congratulated the authors o~ the project and exhorted them to proceed w~th the development of this type of educational material. Only ene teacher stated that she had slightly liked the unit about the Spanish conquest and colonization, but did not give any explanation in this respect.

(See Table 8.)

Sorne teachers pointed out the .necessity of this material inasmuch as it filled a gap regarding the role ¿layed by women in Latin American history. In their opinion, the dissemination of the supplement is urqently needed to increase the knowledge of women•s contributions and to change the attitudes about woman's role in sooiety.

Besides, they recommended the coordination with the Puerto Rican Department of Education to change the fifth grade textbook and to include these readings in the official textbooks.

However, other teachers thought that although the level of comprehension far the average student was acceptable, it could be somewhat difficult for slow children, specially the units about "The Independence of Hispanic America" and ºThe Struggle of Hispanic Women for Their Riqhts". Said teachers ·reconunended that these two units be shortened and simplif ied, since they were considered somewhat overloaded.

R9garding the illustrations of the pamphlets the majority's opinion was that these contributed to the understanding of the readings, but that they should be in colors.

Evaluation of Sixth Grade Supplement: LA MUJER EN EL VIEJO MtiNDO, AYER Y HOY (Wornan in the Old World: YESTERDAY AND TODAY Teacher's Responses Every teacher who answered the eval~ation sheet considered all the readings in the pamphlet suitable for the sixth grade student~.

(See Table 9.) Many of them expressed · that the material was not only valuable for the students, but for the teachers as well, and suggested that the Puerto P~can Department of Education should off icially incorporate it to the Social Studies Program.

As to the reading comprehension level the great ma~o­ ri·ty • s opinion was tha t i t would be easy for the sixth grade students to understand the readings. However, several teachers considered that some of the readings might result fairly difficult, specially the one on "Women's Struggle for their Rights", and the unit on "Africa and China: Woman Before Two Different Geographies". As to the last one, a teacher felt that it could be less attractive to the children of the rural zone and of scarce economic means.

Other reasons mentioned were the following: too much facts and dates hard to remember; many Greek words of difficult pronunciation; and c'ontents of uni ts 3 and 4 possibly lacking interest tó sixth graders.

In general terms the pamphlet had a good acceptance among the teachers. They considered that the readings were very interesting and constituted a valuable source of new information, and suggested that a manual containing the supplementary readings along with the exercises be prepared ~o be handed to every pupil.

They also indicated that the objectives were very good and clear, and that the exercises and activities were very well prepared, although one of them recommended the elimination of the exercises dealing with the cnumeration of facts and with the speci fic questio:ri.s. that appeared in the last three units. However, that sante teacher expressed that the material of the pamphlet was better ex~lained and treated than the present curriculum material of the Department of Education.

Ne hope that in the near future the Educatio~ Department will incorporate these materials into the regular curriculum '.lnd making them available to students.

Sumrnary The overall impression given by the results of the teacher's evaluation is that the supplements were in large measure ~ success. Most teachers were satisfied on the 'l'/.rhole with the supplements and liked the different units • .t-~any fel t the supplements were filling a gap in the instructional materials available.

The results of the evaluation point up sorne problem areas which were addressed in the final version. These include the length and.complexity of the reading material for children and the need to increase the amount of illustratións.

In revising the supplements we confronted a dilemma resultíng from the need to siMplify the readings and at the same time to províde all the necessary information f or the teacher.

The problem was partially solved by increasing the leng:th of the introduction to provide data and guideliness .for the incorporation of VlClltlen 1 s hi.story in to the curriculurn.

We were at f irst reluctant to sacrif ice valuable information n.nd ideas for the ~ake of increasing the reading comprehension level. To deal with this problem we followed a suggestion advanced by several teachers: that the readings be used as references and be adapted and narrated by teachers according to the level of comprehension of different groups of childrer.

VALIDATION STUDY

The validation History Supplements changes in a tarjet teachers (lst - 6th

procedure of the Social Studies and focused on the indicators of gains or group of eleroentary public schools grade) as related to:

- attitudes on sex role

beha~vior

- knowledge of women history - awareness of sex stereotyping in social sciences textbooks.

In the following section, information is presentad as

.to the design, subjects, instruments, results and conclusions ac_cruing from the validation study.

Design: A before-after experimental control group design was chosen as an appropriate design for the validation procedure.

The selection at random of subjects as well as the assignment at random of subjects to groups gives this design an adequate control of independent variables.

The subjects were assigned at random to the experimental

and the control groupsand were pEe-tested on a measure of the dependent variablss. After the. .experimerital rnanipulation or. reading of the supplements, the groups were measured again.

Group A-Experimental

Pre

x

Post

Group B-Control Pre Post

The difference between the two groups was statisticaJ.ly tested. The significance of the difference between the seores of the eXf)erimental and control group were analy2ed with a T-test to provide the needed information.

We expected the experimental group to differ signif icantly from control group on attitudes, exped:ations, awareness and knowledge (3-6 grades only) as a result of being exposed to the Social Studies History Supplements.

Sample Selection Empirical data was gathered from a randomly selected sample of 300 elementary public school teachers (lst - 6th grade) from the San Juan Educational Region · of the Department of Education.

It includes 10 towns: Bayamón, Carolina, Cataño~ Corozal, Dorado, Guaynabo, Rfo Piedras, San Juan, Toa Alta, and Toa Baja.

From a list of 381 elementary public schools from the Region, the following procedure was decided: - figure out the probability of. each school being selected - determine the number of schools and

teachers which will allow us to establish 95% confidence intervals and standard error - randomly select the schools and teachers.

The schools were selected systematically from the list of 381 public schools of the San Juan Regione A total of ·$2· schools were included.

The number of subjects agreed upon was a calculation based on the acceptable size of errors postulating moderate differences between pre-post tests. It was estimated a total of 50 subjects for each grade.

Procedure The selected sample for each grade was divided randomly with two groups namely the experimental and the control group: Grade

The pre-test questionnaire was sent by mail to the sample.

Approximately a month later, after receiving the pre-test questionnaire from the subjects selected, the reading materials were sent to those included in Group A -(Experimental Group).

The post-test questionnaíre, ano a questionnaire related to the evaluation of the supplernents was also included with the reading materials.

The post-test was sent to subjects from Group B (Control) .approximately a month later after receiving the pre-test.

To accelerate this process up to 3 reminders letter were addressed to subjects.

-84-

Later, an. additional effort was develooed and members of our staff visited those schools with a lo~_return of guestim.naires.

From a total of 250 questionnaires rnailed to second through sixth grade teachers a total of 149 teachers answered both pre and post tests.

Approximately a 60% rate of retur~ was accomplished.

(See Table 10.)

Validation results for the first grade are not included in this report.

Instruments Specif ic questionnaires for each grade were utilized for observing the indicators of gains or changes as result of the experience provided by the Social and History Supplements.

The questionnaires were devided into 3 basic areas: a- socio economic and professional data b- beliefs, expectations and attitudes toward: - adult occupational sex stereotyping - children and women participation in community activities - behavior expectatives from boy and girls - extend to which teacher adheres to . traditional views of sex role behavior e- awarenes~ of sex role steretyping in textbooks The emphasis en.a particular area developed far each was guidedspecifically by the Social Studies currículum organization for the grade. instrum~nt

A selected group of questions were included for the dif ferent grades so as to measure each one of these basic areas included.

The following is a brief description of each one of the scales prepared far the different grades.

First Grade The instrument asked questions regarding the following:

A- Attitudes -

women roles in family life sex role division of housework sex roles in child rearing practices sex rigidity scale

B- Awareness - sex stereotyping in textbooks

-85-

2nd Grade· T~e

following areas were included in this specific

questionnaire: - sex rigidity scale - adult occupational status - womens participation in community activities - expectations related to - children behavior - children participation in communtiy activities - awareness ~.sex stereotyping in textbooks 3rd ,.. 6th grade Questions related to the following were included: A- Attitudes - sex rigidity scale B- Knowledge - womens participation in history

- recognition of outstanding women - knowledge of women's history C- Awareness sex stereotyping in textbooks In summary, a list of 12 scales were included in the six questionnaires.

The items were developed on the basis of the literature available far the u. S. and Puerto Rico.

Professional Satisfaction Scale Includes three questions rel~ted to satisfaction, with oar.eer. selected, subject, and grade taught. It is a f ive point rating scale. Higher seores indicate less satisfaction with areas selected - profession~grade;and subject actually teaching. It was used in grades one through sixth.

Sex Rigidity Scale Includes statements related to the role of men and women in authority and power positions, occupations, parenthood and domestic life, childhood socialization, education and sexuality. Teachers were asked to indicate the degree to which they agreed or di·sagreed wi th these statements. A higher score means more traditional views regarding sex role behavior.:.

-86-

The sex role rigidity scale developed by Cole J.O. and his colleagues (1974} was used as a valida~ion criteria for all Etxth grade teachers.

The scale atternpts to measure the extend to which individuals adhere t6 traditional expecta tions of sex role behavior.

The scale has been adrninistered t~ yarious samples of college students, among whiph Puerto Rican students were included.

A test of internal reliability, yielded alpha coefficient of .94. The same test considering minori ty_ students. yielded a ·coefficient of • 90.

Computations of the alpha me~sure far a sample of 57 Pu~rto Rican women in San .Juan, Ponce,and Mayaguez yielded a coefficient of .90 {L6pez-Garriga) 1976.

This last coefficient however is derived from a shortened version of the scale in Spanish.

Children Behavior The scale is related to the expectations of teachers toward behavior of boys and girls.

A list of adjectives that best describe expected behavior for girls and boys was included.

Teachers were asked to indicate those related to boys or girls.

It was used only with 2nd grade teachers.

Adult ·occupational Scale Pretends to measure the different jobs or occupations assigned to roen, women or both - occupational sex stereotyping.

It includes 20 items, Low seores indicate less stereotyped views related to fernale work roles.

It was used only for the 2nd grade teachers.

Women':sParticipation in Comrnunity Activities A 12 items scale was included to measure what kind of work activities are most frequently assigned to rnen, women or both. Low seores indicate less stereotyped views.

It. was used only for 2nd grade teachers.

Children'·s Participation in Cornmunity Activities Teachers were asked about their expectations about boys and girls participation in community life.

Listed activities were assigned by the teacher to boys, girls or both.

It was used only for 2nd grade teachers.

Recognition of Outstanddng ~~1 A list of outstanding women for Puerto Rico, Arnerica, Europe, etc., were included for recognition and identification.

It was used in third through sixth grade.

Knowledge of Women's History A ten iteM. true and false scale about womens history knowledge was selected for the questionnaire. A lower score means a more knowledgeble person of women'shistory.

It was used in third through sixth grade.

-87-

pex Stereotyping in Textbooks In view of the importance of textbooks in shaping beliefs, attitudes and values of students, w~ engaged in detecting the awar~ness of teachers of sex-role stereotyping which might give an outdated or disparaging image of wornen and domestic life.

Questions were included so as to determine their awareness of this aspect in Social Studies and Eistory Supplements textbooks.

It was used in grades one

through sixth.

Wornen's Roles in Familv Life Scale A ten itero scale was included for first grade teachers the identification of sex roles in family life. The · identification of each one of the roles included will establish their expectations on specific sex roles. ~or

Sex Role Division of Housework Scale The scale included a list of twenty (20) typical acti~ities related to housework.

First grade teachers were asked to assign the responsability for each specific activity either to roen, women or both.

Results: Three main types of statistical presentation and analysis were utilized: -

neasures of central values Measures of relations rneasures of.dispersion: variance significance measures

Significance level of

.os

was set for all tests.

The analysis of measures of central values and correlations gave us the difference between Group A - Bxperimental t and Group B - Control. An analysis of variance and a T test gave us the signif icance differences for the study.

present a summary of the chaJ;acteristics

of the sample of teachers reported in this study from the San Juan Educational Region of Puerto Rico.

The average teacher in our sample is a 38 years old

female, married, having a bachelorsdegree and with more than -~.

nine (9) years in this professional activity and more than five (5) years teaching the present grade.

She has tenure

and is satisfied with the teaching profession, grade and subject taught.

Around

half

of them were born in the urban

area; one fourth ( 1/4)of them in the Metropolitan Area.

The

mayority have not lived outside of Puerto Rico and those who underwent this experience, did it for relatively short periods.

A relatively large number of teachers classify themsel ves as head of families.

The average teachers' personal

income being a:groximately $670 a month.

The teachers'

salary accounts for half or more of the family income -being this of $1,200 monthly.

-89-

Pre-Post Test Seores Tatles 12-15 present the seores obtained by the subjects in the various pre and post tests used especif ically for the different grades included in the sample.

The seores apparently suggest change or gains in attitudes related to sex role rigidity, behavioral expectations and awareness of sex role stereotyping in textbooks in the experimental groups (A) from second through síxth grade.

There is a constant and defini.te patte.rn of change except' far the Sth and 6th grade.

Findings regarding teachers fron the control group do not reinforce this first finding of changes in the experimental group.

There is no definite pattern of change.

It is very interesting that the area of "recognition of outstanding wómen" apparently presents similar changes of seores for both experimental and control groups.

Selected Correlations Correlational analysis were carried out utilizing, first, the Sex Rigidity Scale and specific measures for each grade, of attitudes, expectations, and knowledge.

Tables 16-~7 qummarizes them far the populations within each grade.

Also presented are other interesting cotrelations found within these groups and various socio-demographic variables.

The most significant correlations obtained between the seores f~r pre and post test of the Sex Rigidity Scale and the sex-role attitudinal and knowledge scales are presented in the following tables. · A very significant correlation is observed in Group A of the 2nd, 4th and 6th grade for the Sex Rigidity Scale and the Adult Occupational and Knowledge of Womm'n History Scale. .

The Pearson

were: O. 5658;

correlation coeff icients for these scales -O. B.068 respe.ctively.

-o, 6214;

A low correlation is observed also for the Children Dehavior Scale in the-2nd grade.

For Group B no such signif icant correlations are defined.

-90-

To test for independence of these variables, the observed value of the correlation was utilized.

There is no suff icient reason to doubt this independence for Group B in all the grades included.

We have evidence at the 5% level of signif icance to reject the hypothesis that these variable - Sex Rigidity and Sex Role Attitudes and Knowledge, are independent in Group A for second, third, fourth and sixth grades.

A test of independence of variables was done also f or cértain socio demographic characteristics such as civil status, age, education, experience as teacher, area where born, and area presently residing. {See Table 18.)

Apparently most of these characteristics are independent for the mayority of Groups A and B. Nevertheless th~re are certain ones, as for example, area presently residing wnich exhibits a low correlation in the second and ~hird grade.

Fifth grade teachers éxhtbit a higher correlation.

Test of ~ypothesi~ A- Analysis of Variance

We explore procedures for testing signif icance of differences among the means of the ~wo populations in the post test among participants in our study.

Analysis taking into consideration the post test of the Sex Rigidity Scale failed to show significant differ~ ences except in the sixth grade between the groups that have been exposed to the Social Studies Guide and History Supplements.

Tables 19-20 summarizes the two way analysis of variance on the post test of the Sex Rigidity Scale.

In surnmary, the test of significance using the F statistic to define the critica! region failed to discover significant differences resulting frorn treatrnent effects, except in the 6th grade.

-91-

T-test Analysis A t-test was utilized finally to determíne the effect of the Social Studies and History Supplements on teachers' at-titudes, knowledge, expectations and awareness about sex :role stereotyping.

Data conpared were the seores of rneasures :administered to subjects who completed the tests ~oth befare and after treatnent.

Tables 21-25 suMr:.arizes the t-test for the experiMental group of each one of the grades included in the sample.

The results of this test establish the following for

each one of the grades: 2nd grade:

The differences between pre and post test were not statistically significant ·in any of t~e SC(:Ües utili.3ed ..

3rd grade:

The test shows signif icant differences between the pre-post t~sts for the sex rigi<lity awaren~ss of sex stereotypinq in testbooks, and ·knowledge of women'n history scales.

4th grade:

There are signif icant differences far the sex rigidity and the knowledqe of women~s history scales.

Sth grade:

The t-test 9resents signific~nt differences in areas related to awareness of sex stereotyping in textbooks a~d knowledge of woMen's history. ·

6th grade:

The t-test revealed significant dif ferences for the scale on wornen's participation in history.

that the experience with each supplement was somewhat different.

The third grade supplement appear to impact teachers at both

The fifth grade supplement

appear to be effective increasing awareness of sex stereotypes and knowledge of wmnen's history.

No

change at the attitudinal level can be inferred from the

test analysis of the sex rigidity scale among fifth grade teacllers.

It is worthwhile noting that the sample for all grades obtained moderate seores on all pre-assessment measures related to attitudes and expectations of sex role behavior.

It

app~ars

that the sample did not hold very conservative views regarding sex role stereotyping.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to

Concerning the absence of statistically signif1cant change among second grade teachers it is possible to hypothesize that the scales used in this grade, being shorter and sirnpler were more easily contruninated pre-test.

PROCESS EVALUATION

The purpose of a process evaluation is to describe and evaluate the relationship among a project•s inputs and activities, the extraneous variables, and its immediate reaults. An analysis of internal and external factors which facilitated the project as well as those which preved to be obstacles are surnmarized in the following pages.

FACILITATING FACTORS FOR PROJECT PERFORMANCE AND OUTCOMES We consider that the following factors helped in.the achievement ~f the project objectives: 1- Amount of WEEA funding.

2- Additional in-kind resources obtained such as computar time and programming services rendered by the U.P.R. Cornputer Center; photocopy and mimeograph services rendered by the Social Science Research Center.

3- Personnel related factors (e.g. staff ·skills and previous experience with sex equity i~sues).

4- Gaining access to and/or conperation of school. superintendents, directors and t~achers which we·re the target of project act.ivities.

5- Support and cooperation f rom the local Department of Education.

6- Establishment of a project advisory comrnittee.

7- Availability and use of paid consultants.

8- Relationship with Women's Program Staff {i\TPS) particularly with project officer, Dr. Ana Mar!a · · Perera.

9- Technical assistance in fiscal matters provided

by William B. Hopkins from the Grant and Procurement Management Division.

PACTORS Olt BARRIERS LIMITIMG THE GREA'l'ER EFFICACY OF THE PROJECT .

.

Several factors posed li~itations to the greater afficacy and srnooth development -Of the project. Among these, .the following should be noted: Decision-making process and climate of the institution administering the sub-contract.

1- Administrative delay in processing the subcontract between· the Women's Commission and the University of Puerto Rico {U.P.R.). It took three months to formalize the terms of the agreement between the grantee and the sub-contractor. Finally, the Social Science Research Center was made responsible for the administration of the project.

2- The extent of "red tape" required by the institution

in which the project operated. U.P.R. regulations and administrative practices applicable to projects sponsored with external funds pose serious problems and obstacles for project rnanagernent. The hiring and recruitment of staff and consultants needs the authorization of at least seven high level univer.sity adm'inistration officials including the Director of the Social Science Research Center, the Dean·of the Faculty of Social Scienc~s, Personnel Director, Finance Director, Budget Director, Dean of Adrninistration and the Chancellor. Any hiring or contracting of professional services goes through this process which usually takes three months.. When there is a discrepancy concerning salary, functions or qualifications the process could even take a year as it· happened in the case of one of our consultants. Under these conditions it is very difficult for a project to meet datelines. It is impossible to comply with all the paperwork involved in the U.P.R. adrninistrative pr0cedures without a full-time administrative assistant.

3- Project management faced at all levels of the administrative · structure a lack of support and understanding towards our work and the need to speed up administrative procedures for meeting deadlines. Burocratistm and even hostility towards the project was at times evident.

4- Delays in payments to rnernbers of our'staff, con.sultants and private agencies which had . rendered their services often created very difficult situation for project managernent. ffe had a consultant who refused to hand ·in her work. until payment was made available. A small private f irr.l formally complained and threaten to raise the price for the remaining work. Six months after rendering their services they had not received their payment.

5- Sorne unexpected conditions affected the srnooth development of the pr.oject such as a temporary {2 months} rAlocation-tn an office outside the U.P.R. due to a breakdown in the air-conditioning system. A labor dispute between the Central University Adrninistration a!ld the Nonteaching Personnel Brotherhood and the resulting slow down, temporary work stoppages have also affected the climate of the university and indirectly the development of our project. · 6- The no-cost six month extension granted by NEF.AP

did not allow for contract renewal for the research personnel. ·Administrative and secretarial personnel remained as part of a new and smaller project. Unavailability of funds far contract renewal affected the working relationship among staff members.
